I really liked the integration of Ojibwe traditions, beliefs, and stories as well as Anishinaabemowin. I learned a lot and liked how Daunis integrated her Ojibwe identity in all that she did. However, I did find the content of the plot difficult and often shocking, sometimes in what seemed for the purpose of shocking, as opposed to progressing the plot. There is also a lot of content warnings for the story, so please review them before reading.
