elizabethlk's review against another edition
4.0
Ends/Begins picks up where book two in the series (Scars) left off in Edwin's life. We see Edwin's father telling him the story of his time in the Indian Residential School system. This is just as well done as the previous books in the series, and as the other work I have read from David Alexander Robertson.
As we delve more into Edwin's own life, we also delve more into the lives of those before him. Reading about his father's time in a residential school is heartbreaking. The story is so emotive, and at this point in the series I definitely feel more connected than ever with the characters, even the ones that are only just being introduced. The art is emotive as well, and continues to suit the story, but I do continue to wish it was in full colour.
I definitely recommend this series so far, although I also recommend starting at the beginning and reading them in order. Definite content warning for child abuse for this book in particular. I have already put book four on hold at the library, and I look forward to reading it.
