A Minor Chorus: A Novel | Billy-Ray Belcourt
post image
Pickpick

A Minor Chorus, by Billy-Ray Belcourt (2022 🇨🇦)

Premise: An Indigenous graduate student, jaded by the institutional game and the broader lack of effective action on Indigenous Reconciliation in Canada, returns to his home community to find the voice for the novel he knows he has within him.

Review: This is incredibly well-done and is thought-provoking in all the best, most challenging ways. Cont.

Mattsbookaday Yet it felt like a piece of sociology or political sci with a thin veneer of story thrown on top. That said, this offers a needed perspective I fear many Canadians are unable or unwilling to take to heart in these times of backlash.

Bookish Pair: Conor Kerr‘s Prairie Edge (2024 🇨🇦)

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Read mainly because my teenager is a K-Pop fan. Might have been a bit shorter, the third act resolution dragged a bit.

This likely affected my review, yet it really bothered me that I swear I‘ve read half this story before years ago.
Otherwise, this was a decent book. I wish there was a little bit more connection between what happened with the Knight at the end and earlier in the story. It was a n ie twist, though it felt disjointed. The end and beginning just felt like totally different stories

It was very hard to get a picture of this that didn‘t have a cat in the way lol. I really enjoyed this!! The characters were interesting, the plot was unique, and I loved the world. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This world of time traveling monsters is so unique and enthralling it could be hundreds of pages longer, and I'd still wish for more. Not to mention a love triangle that is subtle and secondary and doesn't take over the story. I can't wait till the third one!

Listened to this audiobook during a workout. Lorelei sometimes steals my yoga mat, like she did in this old photo, but thankfully she didn‘t today 😆
