I‘m surprisingly disappointed in this after how much I loved Elatsoe. I don‘t remember Darcie Little Badger‘s writing being so stilted previously. There was a lot of unnecessary detail (like, describing every movement of a different driver making adjustments to a car) and it seems like she missed the memo that “said” is a perfectly good dialogue verb. The story was interesting and surprising. The ending was frustrating because…

Maybe it‘s because I read Elatose a while ago, as this prequel (of her grandmother) didn‘t hit any cords with me. Closest thing was the side conversation of how the Lipan people kept having their land taken away. Which felt at odds with the main plot of Shane using the family ghost dog to find missing people. As a prequel, hoped to get more connection with first. But didn‘t see that. Smooth, no heart racing action, throughout still is nice.
