"The writing was good and I was immediately endeared to the narrator/protagonist. Her blossoming was really great to watch. But overall I felt the story lacked plot. It seemed meandering and directionless."

Firekeeper’s Daughter

by: Angeline Boulley
Ave. Rating: 4.33
Pages: 496
Year Published: 2021
View on Goodreads
"I didn't totally connect with the protagonist, but I respected her and rooted for her from beginning to end. I loved the way the author immerses you in the native culture of Sault Sainte Marie - I learned so much. I feel like my perspective and understanding has grown. It's a beautifully crafted novel, which I would categorize in religious fiction, not fantasy. Although the elements of that are super minor. "
