Beschreibung
When Elān trapped a salmon-stealing raven in his cupboard, he never expected it would hold the key to saving his people from the shapeshifting Koosh invaders plaguing their shores. In exchange for its freedom, the raven offers a secret that can save Elān’s home: the Koosh have lost one of their most powerful weapons, and only the raven knows where it is.
Elān is tasked with captaining a canoe crewed by an unlikely team including a human bear-cousin, a massive wolf, and the endlessly vulgar raven. To retrieve the weapon, they will face stormy seas, cannibal giants and a changing world. But Elān is a storyteller, not a warrior.
As their world continues to fall to the Koosh, and alliances are challenged and broken, Elān must choose his role in his own epic story.

This book had me at "Tlingit indigenous response to The Lord of the Rings". And then again at the introduction of a foul-mouthed, salmon-addicted Raven who can't stop blurting out insults. And then again at the bear-cousin who is so silent, but only because human language is not sufficient to express their feelings. And then again and again and again... Our FMC is deep into books and stories - and yet weirdly excited to go on an adventure to retrieve an artifact to help their people fight the invaders. With an interesting band of fellow "warriors" he boards a canoe to change their fate. They are facing cannibal giants and themselves. And maybe the stories that were deemed true are different than they thought... I love everything about this book, and I'm awed by the indigenous folklore woven into an epic adventure. 4,5/5 stars Thank you @netgalley and @solarisbooks for the eARC! #TheDoorOnTheSea #Netgalley #Bookstagram
