5.0
I loved this book. It kind of defies labeling. It was post-apocalyptic and The Road or Maze Runner-esque. But written by an indigenous author, this story revolves around a very clear parallel between the exploitation and murder of this race in the fictitious post apocalyptic world with the very real murder and stealing of lands the white privileged folk did back in the day. It had themes of love, belief, community and dreams that were truly heartwarming. I’m reminded of The Last of Us, Episode 3. It’s also a super quick read. Highly recommend.

This book! THIS BOOK. I am feeling bereft of opportunities to rave about this, because most of my closest book buddies steer clear of anything quite this dark (it is no darker than our world actually is, but that's pretty dark). I had to pause about midway through to process it, but couldn't put it down once I resumed. It broke my heart multiple times, and then mended it.
