I adored this book for a number of reasons. First, the author writes in a way that is both unique and allows me to feel like I’m being told the story like fables were told. It’s got this mythical air mixed with real and present world struggles for indigenous people that is blended together so perfectly I find it hard to find anything wrong with it at all. It was such a breath of fresh air in terms of storytelling style and content that I'm excited to read more of this authors work.
