I was so excited to see Daunis and Jamie again after Firekeeper’s Daughter!

As far as the mystery plot line goes… Lucy’s story is tragic and definitely kept me guessing, though not really in a super engaged way. Something about the structure and pacing sucked a lot of the tension out of it. Most of the characters outside of Lucy/Jamie/Daunis felt very vague/uncertain or maybe Lucy’s narration style was super distant?

However, I definitely appreciated getting a closer look at how ICWA can both benefit and fail indigenous children - though Lucy is the only indigenous foster child we actually meet on page, so it felt a little info dumpy in that way.

Boulley is definitely an auto-read author for me
