I had such high hopes for this book which I think is where I ran into issues. I wasn't expecting a multi-POV and I'm still undecided if some of them were necessary. The first part was quite slow and hard to get through, but picks up in the second and third parts. You can tell the author really went the extra mile to make sure you understood the Sami people from their language to their culture which was interesting to learn about. Even small details like the chapter titles being the number in Sami. There were some story aspects I was disappointed in, but overall I think the main story was good. There just seemed to be too many subplots partially because of the multi-POV.
