Unless its fucking Harry Potter, the number of ratings and reviews steadily decline from the debut onwards. Certain patterns emerge with few exceptions.

It's always interesting to go through all the reviews for a series here on Goodreads. Just an awesome volume in an awesome series. There’s a gay-themed arc in this volume as we see the super-violent Shunka is actually closeted, which gives us the opportunity to see the more open perspective on gender diversity in most Native American cultures, though there is still a lot of homophobic behavior present. We see Red Crow and Gina happy early on, before it falls apart.
We see Carol and Wade early on when they are happy with Dash, before things fell apart, and it is sweet, but didn’t last. But are there ways to be “parents” outside of blood relations? Can Granny Poor Bear, who never had kids but traises so many, “parent” Carol to health? Can Red Crow’s murdering, meth-labbing, mobsterism also involve “parenting” Dash to health? Part of the blues in this volume reflects on the wide gulf between what could have been in parenting and the crushing reality. But when Carol gets pregnant, can she be a good parent? They are both addicted to smack?! Can they get it together enough to kick the habit and be role models for a child? We also learn of Red Crow’s father, and we know Red Crow’s not been a good father to Carol and he wasn’t a good partner to Gina.Ĭan Dash be a good partner to Carol? Could he be a good father? In Killing Diesel he avenged the death of a 13 year old kid he had taken under his wing. The emotional center of this volume is, I think, fatherhood (or maybe more broadly, parenthood), as we get to meet Wade, Dash Bad Horse’s long-absent Dad who wants to work with Dash to find out who murdered his ex-wife Gina. We are never far from the terrible poverty of the Prairie Rose Rez-meth labs, gangs, prostitution, are ever-present-but it is affecting to see this simple, sweet and loving couple suffering.
We begin by meeting an older married couple who live far away from everyone else, who are having to accept “government” food for the first time. After the last highly orchestrated, action-packed and violent volume 6, we slow way down and breathe a bit, stretch out and deepen the contexts for the broader stories and arcs.
