I loved this story! Elatsoe is a beautiful story about the family, stories and friendship. The book tells a story about finding your own strenght and your own roots and respect the ones before you. This book is magical and mysterious.

Great representation! Asexual main character, many native american characters!

Pure magic!

First of all Ace rep <3 thank you!
Second: READ THIS BOOK IT IS AMAZING. I actually got it as a library ebook and at chapter 35 the app crashed and I NEEDED to know how it ended so yes I did go buy myself a copy. What a page adore this book and I can’t wait to read the rest of Darcie Little Badger’s books!

I loved this! Really interesting take on a mystery where you know who does it pretty early on and then the character's goal is figuring out how to prove it! Also, really enjoyed the stories within the story and the relationships between the characters.

This book definitely surprised me! I had heard of it once or twice, but it didn't really catch my eye until I saw it in a bookstore and decided to give it a try. I'm really glad I did, because I enjoyed it a lot. I loved the world it created, and I loved learning about the main character's ability to raise the dead. It was so interesting. I also thought the mystery in this book was really well crafted, and the unnerving vibes you get from it until you find out what is actually happening was really well done. It's such a great exploration of native cultures and how they have been impacted throughout history. I learned a lot reading this book, and I would love to read more like it. It was a great way to bring parts of history to life and to the forefront of discussions. The characters were all great, and I loved following them all.
