Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice

Did not finish book. Stopped at 46%.

My first book by an Indigenous Canadian author, which I really wanted to like but I had to dnf. I couldn't take it anymore. The writing is aggressively, violently mediocre. What happened to show don't tell? Why is there so much dialogue? What's with the filler scenes that add nothing to the plot? We don't need to know everything every character says or does. None of the characters had enough, or any,  personality. The story is set in a First Nations community that has limited access and communication to the rest of the country, but there is absolutely no sense of setting in the narration. I don't care about the people, I don't care about the place, I'm not going to continue reading.
