Things I liked about this book: The Aleut culture; Alaska; Mutt; the characters' struggle with "Outside" life perks they want vs keeping their heritage & culture alive
Things I could do without from this book: Kate's forced anger & masculinity--I think she could just be herself, her struggles and challenges as they are. Much of her character seemed like an angry man in prison too long. I wanted to like her, but I thought she might take me down if I did. That's how it seemed with the men who loved her in spite of her too. She could tear them apart. They were afraid of her, but wanted her. ??
Mystery solved in the end. I expect if I read another Kate Shugak tale, I may see more maturity in her character. I'm just not compelled to make it a priority. 2.5 stars is all this gets from me
