“Angeline Boulley has proven herself to be a solid suspense writer first and foremost. She writes characters who are complex, but easy to root for and settings and themes that are relevant. She writes simply and beautifully. All of this is how I feel afterwards, of course, because while I’m listening, I’m along for the ride. Start with Firekeeper’s Daughter, and read them all. You won’t be bored. ”

She continues to address difficult topics affecting Indigenous communities that so many shy away from. ‘Sisters in the Wind’ returns us to the world and familiar faces of ‘Firekeeper’s Daughter’ and ‘Warrior Girl Unearthed’. Lucy is a character that will stay in your heart for a long time.”

“Angeline Boulley does it again with her third novel, Sisters in the Wind. Boulley addresses timely and nuanced topics head on, but in such an approachable and impactful way. Readers of Boulley’s first books will be thrilled to see the return of some familiar characters, who add depth to the importance of connection and community in the story. If you’re looking to go on an emotional journey, filled with teachings and heart, pick up Sisters in the Wind!”

"A gorgeous insight into Anishinaabe culture and a page-turning YA thriller with a healthy dose of romance thrown in,Firekeeper’s Daughter hits all of the right notes." ―Hypable
"Immersive and enthralling, Firekeeper’s Daughter plunges the reader into a community and a landscape enriched by a profound spiritual tradition. Full of huge characters and spellbinding scenes, it gives a fascinating insight into life on and off the reservation, with Daunis as a tough and resourceful heroine through every vicissitude." ―Financial Times
"Hitting hard when it comes to issues such as citizenship, language revitalization, and the corrosive presence of drugs on Native communities, this novel will long stand in the hearts of both Native and non-Native audiences." ―Publishers Weekly, Starred Review
"Though Firekeeper’s Daughter contains gripping action sequences and gasp-inducing twists, it’s Daunis’ mission of self-discovery, which begins as a low and steady growl and grows to a fierce, proud roar, that has the most impact... Though it both shocks and thrills, in the end, what leaves you breathless is Firekeeper’s Daughter’s blazing heart." ―BookPage, Starred Review
"Boulley, herself an enrolled member of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, writes from a place of love for her community and shares some key teachings from her culture, even mixing languages within the context of the story. She doesn't shy away from or sugar-coat the very real circumstances that plague reservations across the country, and she tackles these through her biracial hero who gets involved in the criminal investigation into the corruption that led to this pain. An incredible thriller, not to be missed." ―Booklist, Starred Review
