DNF @ 26% (chapter 11) — I’m bummed about this, because this was going to be my November diversity read, and I was so excited because it’s an own voices book. And while I was finding it interesting to have an authentic look into Native Americans (or Indians as they call themselves in the book), it was other aspects that just had me losing interest. I thought about pushing through, but I have so many other books to read.
The problem with this one is that it was very dry reading. There wasn’t a lot of depth to each character, and at the time of DNF, I wasn’t liking either one of them that much. They came across very one-dimensional. And it wasn’t just the characters, the writing was also fairly shallow. It was all dialogue and action…I saw another reviewer mention it read like a script, and I can totally see that. I want to know what they’re each thinking and feeling a lot more. I want to see their connections to one another and other characters. And I just, personally, wasn’t getting that. Ah well.
