A lot of long, slow buildup, for the climax to be about 10 pages and not very satisfying. Felt remarkably pandering in general and incredibly performative in a way I didn’t enjoy, and really felt like it leaned into stereotypes. It oversimplified the relationship between Native Americans and their white counterparts. From a structure standpoint, the characters were dull and underdeveloped, the plot slow and meandering with no real detail that built tension, and then speeding through things (like relationship building) that might’ve made it better. Characters were one dimensional, and writing was elementary at best. Cool concept - bad execution.
