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!

This was disappointing :// pretty predictable storyline and one-dimensional protagonist. There were a few beautiful scenes but it mostly read like fan fiction. It was interesting to learn more about Lakota culture tho!
