Dystopian novel taking place amongst the Anishinaabeg, an Indigenous Canadian community, in Northern Ontario as Evan and the rest of his community try to survive through a total blackout at the cusp of winter.
I absolutely devoured this book ! This was a very enriching experience as I learned about one of the many First Nation community in North America, on how they were displaced by colonisation and had to adapt to survive. Despite the slow burn start I did like how we were kept in the dark about why everything was happening, just like the characters, so there was an underlying tension throughout the story. I also loved the horror elements especially through the Evan's dreams. Evan as a main character was so compelling to read and I really felt for him and his family and friends, their resilience was truly inspiring to read. I'm really looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
