Firekeeper's Daughter

“Love honor's your spirit. Not just the other person's but your own spirit too”

I went into this book not knowing anything about Indian tribes and now I know a whole lot more. Creating something for people who may not have felt seen before is important and Boulley has done an amazing job. Whilst this is fiction I learnt a lot about tribal communities and the culture that surrounds it. I did however find that I was struggling with what everything meant, especially at the beginning.

As for the plot, it was absolutely thrilling. It did take a 100 or so pages to get into but once it did, the stakes were high and the plot twists twisty. The narration was really enjoyable to experience and exploring the main characters own experince within her tribe. I'm both happy and furious at the ending. Some people got the justice and treatment they deserved but like in real life, many did not

It really is an amazing book and a must if you're looking to diversify your reading
