Mehso-so

There was some magical realism in the book, which I‘m not a fan of. It didn‘t make sense to me. The book skipped years in their lives quite a bit. Some of it was good and held my interest, but much of it was also very vague, and you had to figure out what was going on... it wasn‘t clear. I hate that. Despite this mostly negative-sounding review, I am rating the book “ok”, for the parts that I liked.

I haven't read a book by an Indigenous Canadian author in some time. Highway writes in such an original way. The way he brings in legend and the Cree word to a heartbreaking story true to many of our native peoples past is challenging but worthwhile. ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

I've read House Made of Dawn and loved it. The Red Wolf Conspirancy was instead pretty disappointing is spite of the awesome premice.

Haven't read the others, but l have high expectations for all of them
