The Marrow Thieves (Marrow Thieves #1)

by Cherie Dimaline

From where we were now, running, looking at reality from this one point in time, it seemed as though the world had suddenly gone mad. Poisoning your own drinking water, changing the air so much the earth shook and melted and crumbled, harvesting a race for medicine. How? How could this happen? Were they that much different from us? Would we be like them if we’d had a choice? Were they like us enough to let us live?

“Do you think circumstances make people turn bad? Or that people make circumstances bad to begin with?”

And a man without dreams is just a meaty machine with a broken gauge.
