Did not finish book. Stopped at 4%.
Once I realized that all of the Native Americans were essentially monsters, it was really hard for me to finish even the first chapter. I tried, I really did, but the writing style just rubbed me the wrong way and then the very first chapter ends with these Native monsters ripping out the guts of a living human and eating him. Disgusting and messed up. I usually read grimdark fantasy but that's messed up. 

The MC is supposedly a human who can see the future when her skin is cut. I'm really uncomfortable with self-harm and while this "cassandra sanguine" isn't doing it for the same reasons most people do it, it feels too much like promotion of harmful behaviors to a young audience.
