2025 in roughly 5 minutes (reading recap) [CC]

It's a wonderful, wonderful story. Really eye-opening spotlights and other woman who has kind of been lost to history in many ways because other people have been given greater precedence in those people have been men.

It is not for the faint of heart. It is deeply emotional, , discusses a lot of different struggles, particularly that are the main character and this pod of orcas. Highly, highly recommend.

And it totally worked for me. The moment that I finished it, I wanted to close the book and reopen it and read it again.

So I of course really, really enjoyed it. I, again listened and read both in part the audio narration of this book is so atmospheric. The difference between each of the perspectives is really clear.

The writing is classic to this author's tone. There's a lot of mentions to the indigenous community and the importance therein in that part of the United States that she's writing for. , and a really wonderful coming of age piece set against the backdrop of a really hard time that wasn't all that long ago.

But this was engaging in a way that didn't make me feel like I was terrified. I also listened to the audio book, which gave it a little bit of a higher tension, and I would recommend that to pretty much everyone.

Very intricate, lots of relationships to follow. Like one of those things you have to make a chart of all the characters, but very moving a lot.

This is Baba Yaga myth retelling about the house on chicken legs. , and honestly, I wanted to like this more.
