I really enjoyed this book, particularly how the beginning took us back to the generational history of the red feather and bear shield families.
The reason it is only getting 3 stars from me is because we did not get a wrap up to some of the other characters introduced in There, There. Perhaps there will be a third book? I’m not sure, but I really was interested to know what happened to Blue and Edwin, Harvey just disappears even though he went to the hospital with them after the shooting. I would have also liked to see what became of the movie project from the first book.
Despite those shortcomings, Wandering Stars is a deep look into generational trauma and addiction and is a must read. This book and There, There will go on to become classics, I’m sure of it.
