Two books, two great reads. I enjoyed Cherie Dimaline's The Marrow Thieves. In this dystopian novel, the reader is left to mourn the destruction of the environment and an essence of human nature - the ability to dream. The undercurrents of racial tension add the uneasiness felt throughout the book. The Poet X written in verse draws the reader in with an intensity that was quite surprising. Family tensions, secrets and the strength to believe in oneself fill the pages of this book. I could not easily put this book down and was quick to recommend it to others as it left such an impression with me. My vote to continue is The Poet X.
