This is apparently the year for Indigenous fantasy for me. Elatsoe was a little difficult for me to get into but once I was into it, I was in. The way Little Badger writes is just so immersive and fluid that I could see everything playing out in my head. While I have a good imagination, the way she describes certain things (especially Ellie calling ghosts to her) had a little bit more added realism for how I pictured the narrative playing out. I initially thought Elatsoe would be like...dystopian futuristic sci fi but boy was I wrong. The book is like if magical realism, urban fantasy, and murder mystery had a baby. If you're looking to read more Indigenous voices this year, I would absolutely recommend this book.
