Firekeeper's Daughter by Angeline Boulley
5.0
*4.5 stars*
Kindness is something that seems small, Daunis, but it’s like tossing a pebble into a pond and the ripples reach further than you thought.
WOW. This book was a wild ride, full of love, wisdom, and mystery. It was a great story that made me feel things I haven't felt in a while about a book. There was several twists I didn't see coming (I know, I'm shocked too) and the book took an entirely different direction than I expected it would.
Daunis was a STRONG character. She was so powerful and confident and represented the majority of women in all communities. She will surely be a role model for women everywhere. I liked how we could see her journey and growth as a character. Jamie was amazing too!
The Native American culture was spot-on and was a great addition to the story. It allowed readers to learn about the problems faced by Natives and how they run their lives. It was very interesting to see their culture!
I really appreciate how [a:Angeline Boulley|19633027|Angeline Boulley|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1603636151p2/19633027.jpg] took the time to give us the facts and share real-life problems in such a great way. She made the problems more understandable and lighthearted, while still keeping them serious.
My ONE problem with it was that I found myself skimming several times. There was a lot of (useless) information that could've been broken up into smaller chunks to make the story a little easier for the reader to keep reading.
Overall though, one of the best books I've read this year.
Never argue with a geek. They use science and math like weapons
