PositiveThe Daily Nebraskan\"As a whole, the story is told with the kind of magical realism that Obreht was known for in her debut novel, The Tiger’s Wife. With wide storytelling but vague focus, the story seems too big at times, even for Obreht herself ... If one is looking for a sophisticated novel with odes to myth and history alike, Inland by Tea Obreht is an enjoyable but complex read. The vivid details of a little known moment in American history transports the reader in a way that both frustrates and mystifies in the best way possible.\
