Empire of Wild by Cherie Dimaline
4.5
adventurous challenging dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Set in a small town in Ontario, a Métis community has been telling their children to watch out for the Rogaru, they all have one. Is it just a story elders tell the children or is there more to the story? 

I don’t think Cherie can write something I won’t enjoy. The mixture of Indigenous lore and real life issues Indigenous and Métis face is real is this one.
