Wow. ย 

I canโ€™t believe it has taken me so long to pick up this book. ย  Kicking myself with regret for procrastinating with this one.ย 

I really donโ€™t think anything I say will do this book justice, nor is there anything I can say that probably hasnโ€™t already been said.ย 

I absolutely loved the MC Daunis Fontaine.ย  She was one tough cookie.ย  A very strong female character that is the narrator of the story.ย  ย 

This YA debut from author Angeline Boulley was written so beautifully. ย  I love learning new things in the books Iโ€™m reading and Boulley really dives deep into the Native culture, the language and history. ย 

It was a slow burn that really comes together in the end.ย  There are some very hard topics, so please make note of the trigger warnings below. ย 

And can I just add how stunning this cover is.ย  ย
