Frenchie, a Métis teenager, lives in a future where most people have lost the ability to dream and Indigenous people are hunted for their dreams. This sequel to The Marrow Thieves opens with Frenchie held in a facility for Indigenous captives, in a place run by people who want what he and others carry inside them. Escape, a search for family, and the pull of the old stories drive the plot as he tries to find his way back toward his community.
Fans of the first book will want to follow Frenchie's path. Readers of dystopian young adult fiction who want Indigenous voices and a story that ties survival to memory and language will find it here.
Balanced in tone; an easy read.
Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
