while it was pretty predictable, this was a good book and was actually thrilling, which i can’t always say for other thrillers. the last 50ish pages were so so good!

Loved this book from the beginning to end. I read it in 2 days, I would of read it in one seating if I didn’t have to be an adult. I literally could not and did not want to put this book down. I learned so much about the Native American culture and teachings from this book(you know the stuff they don’t teach you in school. Also the massive injustice against the Native Americans) I will be looking into more of this author’s work. 10/10 will recommend!

Really well written, tons of great ideas and through-threads. It can be a little slow at times, but each chapter does play an important in moving the story and its characters forward. 

Only downside is that it is extremely violent; it's definitely the intention, but it was a bit too much for me at times, if I wasn't reading as an audio book, I would have had to stop.
