I don't know how accurate a portrayal this is of ancient Inuit culture, but I like to imagine it's very close and I learned a lot about a culture I knew almost nothing of beforehand. I loved the first part so much, I almost wish the whole book would've stuck to the Inuit family and social dynamics that made up the first 200 pages, instead of haring off on a Viking adventure. I kind of feel like things took a downward turn after the Vikings showed up (a phrase which I imagine has been uttered by many societies over the centuries). But only a little. And only because I've read way more about Norse gods and Vikings, and I wanted to read about Inuit now. It was still a great adventure. And it ended on such a high note.
Just a genuinely well-crafted story all around. I'll definitely be revisiting this one in the future.

I should start by saying that I am not Inuit but I am non binary. I also want to include content warnings for rape, transphobia, incest and misogyny for this review. This review contains spoilers.
The transphobia
The incest
Gratuitous violence
