Angeline Boulley

3.5 stars. This was a great debut. The problem for me I think was that it was a bit too long and I lost interest in the middle. There were so many things I loved about it. I’m from Michigan so I recognized many of the places that were mentioned and the overall mood. I also loved how the author brought in her own background and shared with us the Native American culture. Daunis was a strong female character and I appreciated her struggles with her identity and who she was. I also enjoyed the banter she had with Lily, as well as the Elders. I just felt that the author had so many great ideas and tried to cram them into one book. I think a few story threads could have been removed and the book would have read better. I would love to see a prequel with Grace and Levi’s story and more about their parents and siblings.… (altro)
