Raf's Reviews > VenCo

I have been obsessed with Cherie Dimaline since I read The Marrow Thieves, and VenCo did not disappoint! The second I saw a Dimaline book about witches, I knew I needed it. VenCo surrounded themes of feminism, social issues, intergenerational trauma, and class divisions in a way that represents every marginalized group and is accessible for everyone– something I love about Dimaline’s books as a whole. The suspense of VenCo had me on the edge of my seat while the action had me falling out of it. Lucky’s relationship with her grandmother Stella is so beautifully raw with hints of back-and-forth, humorous banter that made me fall in love with their relationship and road trip adventures. Lucky’s coming of age storyline and her finding herself magically is something everyone needs to read. What would you do to protect those you love when they are all you have left?

Action packed. Adventure. Drama. Funny. Heartfelt. I NEED A PREQUEL/SEQUEL PLEASE!

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
