I was invested from start to finish, partly I think due to the story and partly to the storytelling and Daunis’s perspective. I think Daunis’s perspective and voice as someone who distrusts law enforcement, as just a person wanting to help her community and tribe and using her own history and knowledge to do it, make it much more complex and engaging than a typical crime-solving drama.

What a page-turner! I needed to know more. I appreciated the story's invitation into the lives of indigenous folks on a reservation and learning more about Anishnaabe language and culture. I found

Spoiler

her brother being involved in the drug ring predictable because Daunis idolized him the whole time, even when he was evidently shitty in some ways. I also found Daunis's experience of grief to fall flat partially, but I'm no expert on how people process grief. It's just that as a reader I didn't really feel her grief very strongly, or find it particularly sad when Lily died, since we barely got to know her beforehand. I also really wanted to find out what was going on with the Little People but they never reappeared.
