Book Notes: Warrior Girl Unearthed

You know how it feels when you read a book that comes out of nowhere and you’re totally blown away? And then that author comes out with their second book and you both really, really want to read it and you’re also afraid it won’t live up to the experience of the first? That was me with Warrior Girl Unearthed by Angeline Boulley. I’d listened to Boulley’s first novel, Firekeeper’s Daughter, and I loved that it was so different from anything I’d read before. The audio book gave me an aural experience of the Anishinaabemowin language that I certainly wouldn’t have had just by reading the book. It was so many things at once — a crime novel, a bittersweet romance, a coming of age story of a young woman with a foot in two very different cultures, trying to reconcile what she can, let go of what she can’t. It was beautiful and heartbreaking and informative without being preachy. So when Warrior Girl Unearthed came out this month, I felt an internal hesitation before opening it up. One night I decided to just read a chapter or two, see what I thought. The next thing I knew I was half way through the book.

You don’t need to have read Firekeeper’s Daughter to enjoy Warrior Girl Unearthed, but it is set ten years later in the same community. Our protagonist, Perry Firekeeper-Birch, is the young cousin of Daunis Fontaine, the central character of Firekeeper’s Daughter. Perry is all set to have a summer of slack in 2014, but an incident with a bear, her car, and a metal fence leaves her in debt to her Aunt Daunis, who signs her up for the last spot in the Kinomaage Summer Internship program. Perry is assigned to work with Cooper Turtle, the supervisor of the tribal museum, and through his mentorship begins to learn about the ancestral remains languishing in universities and museums (despite laws requiring their cataloging and repatriation to the tribes they belonged to). Perry’s sense of justice is kindled and then put to the test as she learns the extent to which artifacts are being withheld from their original tribes. In the meantime, women from the community are going missing and Perry doesn’t want to be next.

This was just as compelling a read as Firekeeper’s Daughter. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down. And, like with Firekeeper’s Daughter, Angeline Boulley is a master at giving the reader a window into Perry’s life as a mixed Native and Black young woman — life within the tribal community of Sault Ste Marie and Sugar Island — and the weighty history that each person carries with them. I felt like I learned alongside Perry about the history of ancestral remains and the efforts of tribes to repatriate the bones and the cultural materials of their people. I felt Perry’s frustration at the way in which people and institutions refuse to respect those bones and artifacts. Boulley includes a list of resources at the end so the reader can dive deeper into the original materials Cooper assigns Perry to read in the book. And the book itself is gorgeous, with a cover designed by Caldecott winner Michaela Goade (We Are Water Protectors). Island Books also has a limited supply of beautiful page overlays from Goade to enjoy as a gift with purchase!

» What's the last book you added to your TBR? hello my friends, For me it was Where Darkness Blooms! I saw the cover and just immediately knew I needed to read it. As soon as I am done with a book or two that I am currently reading, I’m starting this book. Which sounds perfect for my “I must consume every thriller possible” mood. ♡ huge thanks to @wednesdaybooks for sending me a copy of Where Darkness Blooms! » hashtags:. #bibliophile #bookworm #booklove #bookstagrammer #instagramreads #booklover #bookstagram #AndreaHannah #WhereDarknessBlooms #YAthriller #creepybooks #yabooks #iloveya #yareads #prettybooks #bookcover #lovereading #bookswillbebooks #givemeallthebooks (at Boise, Idaho) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp8T7bWrULM/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Where are you traveling/visiting in your current read? 📚🍂🤎 . Welcome to our stop in the Bookstagram Tour for Misprized by @nataliesburford hosted by @mtmctours! Misprized is the first book in a YA Fantasy series in which Severine is traded by her grandmother and forced to find a cure for a mysterious illness that plagues the kingdom. To find the cure, she must enter into a competition called the Inquest of the Betrothed, trick a cunning king, and survive against mythological beings who are stronger than she’ll ever be. Out now!!
 .
{Book Review} Misprized is one of our latest reads & it was a great tale featuring a human girl that enters blindly into an impossible quest!! This is the story of Severine, an adventurous independent young lady that sees the world with wonder while also seeking a peaceful life. I loved how despite being sheltered she was not afraid to take on the challenge of thwarting the fearsome king in search of ingredients to stop a deadly disease that promises to doom them all. And then there is so much to learn of the magical world that she’s living in, from the mythological creatures she’s being forced to compete to the history of this world. Misprized is a compelling, high-stakes story with the chosen one trope (that I will never grow tired of reading) & it’s the perfect fantasy book to add to your TBR! 😍🤎 .
And don't forget to visit #MisprizedMTMC from February 6th - February 15th for more beautiful tour posts & reviews!

Adam Silvera's The First to Die at the End

★★★★★

Hurrah! I've finally finished my first book this year - it's been a long year so far of disappointing, unfinished books. I listened to this on audiobook and enjoyed returning to a universe where Deathcast exists. I also enjoyed the cameos from They Both Die at the End characters.

In this prequel we meet Valentino, who has just moved to NYC to escape his homophobic parents, and Orion, who lost his parents in 911

One of them is the first ever person to receive a call from Deathcast & one of them will be the first to die at the end.

Like They Both Die at the End, the stories revolves around how to really live your life in one day, how to fall in love, how to forgive, & how to be yourself. The side stories were fascinating and I'm quite tempted to read They Both Die at the End again because I just know I must have missed some of those Easter eggs.

Highly recommended and thrilled that the BorrowBox app in England got this one so quickly

When you think of Nubia: The Awakening by @clarenceahaynes and @omarepps, what is one word that comes to mind? Our word is Black, like dripped in melanin, African Diasporic cultural richness!! Get your copy at your local #library. If you love it (and you will!), we have copies available signed by Omar Epps. Link in bio: @SistahScifi | www.sistahscifi.com Images reposted from @mrsj.r NUBIA: THE AWAKENING I can’t start this review without mentioning the stunning and vibrant cover that first attracted me to this book featuring the art of @yung.yemi. It’s such a magnificent image which perfectly reflects the story within its pages. This book is a Afrofuturistic YA set in a dystopian New York that has been ravaged by climate change. The rich get to live Up High and continue to thrive while those left on the ground have to fight to survive. Working extremely hard to perhaps one day have the opportunity to join them for a better way of life. This is a powerful read that weaves important issues so relevant in society today into its fantasy coming of age story. Climate change, class issues, racism, drug use and poverty are just some of the hard hitting subject matters. As the protagonists discover they have emerging extra-ordinary powers it makes them question why and how best they should use them. They discover more about their ancestral past in the hope it will empower them to fight for their futures. This is a book that will help younger generations know that their voice matters and that they have the strength in them to make a difference. . . . . . . . . . #nubiatheawakening #yadystopian #yadystopianfiction #yafantasy #yafantasyseries #comingofagebook #scifibooks #afrofuturism #scififantasy #representationmatters #yareads #yareader #bookcommunity #bookstagrammer #amreadingyafantasy #supportblackauthors #climatechangeawareness #blackpantherfans #epicsaga #dystopianfiction #bookcoverillustration #omarepps #fridayread #weekendreading #ancestralhomeland #SistahScifi @penguinrandomhouse @getunderlined @delacortepress (at Sistah Scifi) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnHhPkBLope/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Riches to Rags by Casey L. Bond

Most girls dream of being princesses, but one princess just wants to be a normal girl.

https://geni.us/RichesToRags Ella Carina, crown princess of Aelawyn, knows brutality and lies—she’s seen the way her father rules. Princess. Possession. To her father, the words had the same meaning. She was only as valuable as the alliance formed with her betrothal. Her freedom comes from an unlikely place: an attack on the castle. When the conquering King offers to protect her from the betrothal her father arranged for political gain, she consents. Hiding her within a peasant family is the only way to keep her and her secret safe. In this simpler life, Ella flourishes and catches the eye of the local Blacksmith’s son. For once, she can be herself and make her own choices, but the life of a princess—even one kept secret—was never meant to be easy. Trevor, crown prince of Galder has been searching for Ella, but not because of their betrothal. She is in grave danger from the very people who hid her away. His plan is to show her the truth and help her to safety. Nothing goes as planned. When Trevor finds her, it’s to discover she’s fallen in love with a peasant. Now he has two goals: help her regain her throne… and show her that she belongs with him.

To be a Fae Rogue by Tricia Copeland

“I am dead, and I need not abide by any law but my own.” - Titania

Unknown to most fae, their biggest threat lies beneath them, watching, waiting perhaps, but for what? Or whom?

Queen Titania gave up everything, her kingdom, her family, her friends, and her home, to end Sonia. Alas, Sonia’s soul lives and grows more powerful, threatening annihilation of the human realm.

Titania’s supposed death may be the only thing deterring Sonia from unleashing her wrath on the Fae Realm as well, but Titania has a sworn duty to protect the humans. Does she dare risking detection by aiding the witches in stopping Sonia from unleashing Hell on Earth?

All Titania has left is the one fae who’s pledged his love for her. Can she risk losing him, too?

To Be a Fae Rogue, the fourth book of the Realm Chronicles series, is an adventure in discovering whether the disparate beings of the human realm can set aside their differences to stop impending doom.

Read To Be a Fae Rogue to find out if Titania can outwit a powerful dark angel today!

Book Review - Wicked Lovely - A Tale Short Of Sparkle.

Melissa Marr’s Wicked Lovely had all the ingredients for a captivating Fae tale – an intriguing premise, characters brimming with potential, and a world where danger lurks at every corner. However, as much as I wanted to be swept away, the execution left me wanting. The story in itself, felt somewhat rushed, which kept me from fully immersing myself in the world or connecting with the…
