Thank you @libro.fm for a copy of this audiobook. I have so many thoughts on this book.
Here's what I loved about this book:
- the narration was great from the pronunciation of Hawaiian words to the pidgin English that was used
- this was a great book with history of Hawaii and what the colonization did to the Hawaiians
- the idea of family vs ohana
Here's what I didn't like about it:
- the 3rd person POV, it didn't make me feel invested in the story
- the amount of history and lack of conversation in the first half of the book
Overall, this was a great fictional story with a lot of historical aspects of Hawaii.
