I really loved the thought of this book! I always crave more Indigenous representation in fantasy novels and this novel is rich with Indigenous culture, which I loved. But, the story is way too slow moving for me. I read over 60 pages of the book and the central storyline hadn’t even started yet. I feel like the story got sidetracked by putting too much emphasis on subplots. So, I must DNF at 13% in. But, I still look forward to seeing what this author will write in the future!

Thank you Del Rey and NetGalley for this arc. All opinions are my own.
