Ezzy is going no where in life and is content with that but one night his friend and distant cousin, Grey, pulls him in to her scheme to introduce Bison back into Edmonton’s parks.  Grey was an activist but has become disillusioned by the culture. This was her idea to do true land back by bringing bison back. On their second round up things start going wrong, leading to terrible consequences. This is a page-turner with the truth of life that makes you believe that this story is real. The character are complex and so are the realities they face.

Prairie Edge covers a lot of topics including: colonialism, child welfare system, land back movements, roles within activism, abolition, and poverty. The exploration of activism really calls to mind Bitter by Akwaeke Emezi. 

A solid dual pov novel that was darkly humorous at times, tense at others, and has lots of thought provoking, noteworthy passages.
