bookishmillennial's review against another edition

slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

• 200 pages, lyrically written (she adds throat singing in between chapters in the audiobook)
• Searing symbolism & magical realism
• story follows a nameless Inuk young woman from Nunavut (extremely close proximity to the Arctic Sea) who navigates so much trauma (food insecurity, sexual assault, teen pregnancy, indigenous land being destroyed, & more!)
• intense ruminations on land, spirit, life, death & identity
• cw: rape, child abuse, alcoholism, colonization, racism
