This was just such a good book--it moved at such a fast pace without feeling particularly dizzying, and the emotions were just so DEEP, it really dug down there. The plot came together in such a way where I was like yelling at Maggie by the end but also really deeply felt for her and was proud of her. It was just such a good book and I'm really really looking forward to reading the next one!

EDIT: The Diné Writers Collective has said they view this book as an appropriation of Diné culture. As a white settler, it is my responsibility to pay attention to nation specificity and not conflate a book written by a Native woman as a book written by a Diné woman, and to not pretend that representation is positive in all cases.
