Medina’s Sisters of the Lost Nation will reel in readers with the plot, but absorb them with the reflections and themes about 2S folks, MMIW/R (missing and murdered indigenous women/relatives), and more. 

While the Takoda people are an amalgamation of many tribal peoples, they are representative of so many Indigenous and Tribal experiences in the US. 

I really enjoyed the folk horror elements of the story, including the revenge-seeking rolling head. While not my typical five star novel, this one really kept me engaged and turning the pages.
