The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline
2.0
I think when it comes to this book, I liked the idea a lot more than I liked the execution. I think the author had a really great idea for a dystopian/not-so-dystopian plot but the character development was lacking. Ironically, the character I was most interested in was not the protagonist, it was Miig.
I felt there wasn't a clear end goal for the characters which is necessary, in my opinion, to help drive the story. I felt it was a bit aimless without a defined objective. By the end, with all this talk of a key, it felt like it was attempting to set up a series but at the same time, it felt like it didn't set up enough to carry on.
Overall, great idea but I wouldn't say it's worth the read.
