I first read “Snake Falls to Earth” and fell in love with the author’s storytelling. Elatsoe is another mystical narrative about magical Lipan Apache people. Amazing narration, too. I can hardly wait to listen to the prequel!

I loved the plot, Perry’s character, how the author tied together NAGPRA and MMIW, and, just like the first novel FKD, all the Anishnaabe cultural and language references. The mystery was great, but maybe too good because I still have questions: about where Stormy went during the heist, who injured Erik and Tom, who killed the first Native woman, and what happened to the creep in the end? Sorry for any potential spoilers but I felt like the end was rushed. Loved the rest though!

Robin’s voice never ceases to soothe me even when she discusses the most heart wrenching destruction of Mother Earth. Poetic, Indigenous Scientific Knowledge mixed with Western Biology is the medicine she offers which we desperately need to heal our world. #supportindigenousauthors

This is such a powerful message. I wish it had been condensed or edited down more concisely. There is a lot of repeated information and word choices which made it painful, and almost like work instead of rest, to make it through to the end. Again, the message is 100% potent, but there needed to be more editing. I also wish there was more information on restful work: work that you love and that refreshes you instead of drains you.

I had to stop after the puppy murder analogy

I got more than half way through the book. I agree that the tone taken with law enforcement didn’t age well, and that terms like “red and yellow bodies” was very disappointing. I found the exercises helpful and the text informative.

That is, until out of nowhere during Chapter 12 or 13 the author, without notice or a trigger warning, sets up a scenario where the read is feeling so safe holding a soft puppy followed by a very violent description of Resmaa beating the puppy to death with a hammer. I understand he is addressing trauma in the book, but that scenario, even if fictitious, was traumatic for me! He follows by saying, “Use the settling practices you learned to move through your feelings of this scenario. We’ll talk about this more later.” …. Huh?? You just told a horrifying, very detailed story of you beating a puppy to death with a hammer and I’m just supposed to listen to that (once I realized where it was going, I skipped to the end) and then do some breathing exercises and move on like normal??

The point is to heal existing trauma, not create more trauma just for the sake of using healing exercises!!
