This book has me feeling conflicted. I normally hate books that do not pass the Aila test, but I couldn't hate Firekeeper's Daughter. There were several times I became very frustrated with this book because of the number of Native women who died and were assaulted, but for once it didn't feel like it was done for sh*ts and giggles. It did however slowdown my reading pace as I can only take so much of that at a time.
Would recommend that you read this at some point as well.
