Angeline Boulley's character work is flawless in Warrior Girl Unearthed, even better than in Firekeeper's Daughter. Every character in this series from the protagonists to the supporting cast to the tertiary characters all feel real. I'm particularly impressed by the depictions of teenagers and their interactions with each other.

Warrior Girl Unearthed takes place ten years after Firekeeper's Daughter and follows one of Daunis' nieces, Perry. On one hand, I love the choice to pick up that distance away and with a different heroine. At the same time, I wish we could have followed Daunis through the next stages of her life. Perry's story builds off of her aunt's in authentic ways while feeling completely unique at the same time.
