Not as strong in my opinion as There There.  …but the final quarter (roughly?) of the book makes the slog worth it.  There’s a lot of addiction description, trauma work, etc., throughout.  That makes it a real challenge to read on a continuous basis, without a break.  I like the encapsulation structure, but found the first section flatter and less engaging.  The jump to the post-pow-wow stories of Opal, Jacqui, Orvil, Loother, and Lony revved up the interest and just hooked me more as a reader.  I appreciate the backstory, but it was work, the payoff for which I’m still uncertain.  This is probably one that will grow in my estimation over time.  Very good writing.  Crammed with insights well expressed on almost every page.
