الوصف
In a futuristic world ravaged by global warming, people have lost the ability to dream, and the dreamlessness has led to widespread madness. The only people still able to dream are North America's Indigenous people, and it is their marrow that holds the cure for the rest of the world. But getting the marrow, and dreams, means death for the unwilling donors. Driven to flight, a fifteen-year-old and his companions struggle for survival, attempt to reunite with loved ones and take refuge from the "recruiters" who seek them out to bring them to the marrow-stealing "factories."

I had my reservations starting this book after reading the synopsis, but it was required reading for my uni class. Dimaline's writing is beautiful, and I think she is a strong writer. The story was fast-paced and kept me on my toes. The relationships feel real, and the characters feel genuine, but she lost me a bit with the world building. I felt like I finished the book with way more questions than answers, which didn't really work for me.
I give it a 3, it was alright.
