The first book in this series by this Anishinaabe author was great but this one is outstanding. I would recommend audio so that you can have the language. The books are set in a near future “after the light have gone out.”

Good follow-up! Can be read as a stand-alone, but definitely recommend reading Moon of the Crusted Snow first.
Great sequel. All the feels. Auto buy author. Most anticipated new release for 2024 and it didn‘t disappoint.
I imagine it's not uncommon to love every book you read if you've been away from novels for a long time and the recommendations you take heed of are from your beloveds and favorite book reviewers. But this book touched me enourmously. Tears of joy and sadness flowed in key moments in this book. An inspiring, frightening, yet incredibly poignant story of survival with great characters. Thank you Waubgeshig Rice.
I have yet to read Moon of the Crusted Snow (although I plan to), but I know it is a much loved book here. I just heard on a podcast that a sequel is being released later this month.

I only finished the first book yesterday and could not wait for the sequel. My cuddle buddy Meche is also quite happy to finally enjoy some quiet nook reading time with me, after a busy day. So I begin with page one: "A gutteral howl tore through the lodge and breached the birchbark walls..."
This book is a must read for Canadians and those living in the U.S.A.
Just as great as its predecessor, Moon of the Turning Leaves is a really unique post-apocalyptic story about an Anishinaabe community attempting to leave the Northern land they were forced on by colonizers and returning to their ancestral territory on one of the great lakes. The first half or so is slower in pace, but a fascinating look into Indiegnous survival; the second half is nail-biting tense!! All round great storytelling!
