There are two types of stories: a stranger comes to town, or someone goes on a journey.
The first book, which I loved, featured an anishnaabe community hunkering down during an unspecified apocalypse and then a stranger came to town. Conversely, the sequel follows members of the community going on a journey: it's been many years since the cataclysm, and it's now time to travel south for reconnaissance, supplies, and in search of a new place to come home.
The writing is nothing short of beautiful. While I did not enjoy the sequel quite as much as Moon of the Crusted Snow, I found it fitting and satisfying. Recommended if you enjoy soft apocalypse stories, want to revisit the characters from the first book, and don't mind a story that spends 90% of its time on the road. 4 stars on both SG and GR.
