The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline

dark emotional hopeful inspiring sad tense fast-paced

5.0

Shut up. 1.) I stayed up until 1am to finish this book. 2.) it made me cry sad and happy tears. 

If a book can make my black heart cry, it deserves 5 stars. 

The concept, the plot, the character arcs, the symbolism, the emotion - superb. I’m truly blown away by a young adult novel that is written in such accessible language but holds so much meaning. 

Language/cultural revitalization, community, and love is what sets us free. I can’t. I’ll be over here sobbing for days over this ending.
