The Only Good Indians by Stephen Graham Jones
4.0

Okay. I don't totally know how to feel about this. While reading I really struggled with the inconsistent pacing and the odd writing-style. I really had to force myself to keep going. However, now that I'm finished I'm left in awe. The whole thing was horrifying and hopeful and beautiful and terrible. The writing style, while difficult during the slower parts, was perfect for the intense and scary parts. The cultural commentary and character work was excellent.The ending was perfect.
