Dystopian is not a genre I care for but a friend suggested this book because of my interest in dream psychology. But the dream theme was only a vehicle for the post-apocalyptic conditions for the Metis and “Indians” to be hunted for their bone marrow where, supposedly, dreams reside. (I gagged on that premise.) The plot was mostly a chase through the forests, hide-and-seek with emphasis on teamwork, while we came to know more about each character. As we learn their individual pasts, the historical human rights abuses and colonial racism inflicted on Canada’s Indigenous people is highlighted. Somewhere along the way the bone marrow dream theme gets lost. It was difficult for me to get pulled into this story but by the last half I was interested.
