Very much enjoyed the story-telling and character building. You either liked someone or disliked them - there were not many, if any, characters that were just “there”. 

Really interesting perspective on modern day struggles wonderfully interwoven with Metis folklore. 

The ending felt a bit rushed, but I still can’t tell if it truly was, or whether I made it that way by rushing through it because I needed to find out what happened!

Definitely will check out more by Cherie Dimaline.

An interesting premise with likeable characters and a touch of creepy magic. I appreciated reading about the Métis humour, and stories in this tale. Probably a 3.5 star, and I’m unsure yet how I feel about the ending.
