Oona's blood is a river delta blending east and west, her hair red as Tennessee clay, her heart tangled as the wild lands she maps. By tracing rivers in ink on paper, Oona pins the land down to one reality and betrays her people. Can she escape the bonds of gold and blood and bone that tie her to the Imperial American River Company?

This short story was well written, and the imagery of the land was excellent: for writing I would give it a 4. However, the story and characters were very predictable: for story, I would give it a 2. More over I'm not sure why the author even bothered with the fantastic elements, they were truly incidental to the underlying story of colonialism and exploitation. Another one in the growing list of literature that are "alternative fiction" for no good reason. If you want to write literature that critiques the colonisation of the American west, and the author's skill is obviously up to that task, then do so. The fantastical elements, because they didn't add to the story, did nothing to make it original, they were just annoying and distracting. I wonder if the author had stuck to what was obviously her main interest (white colonialisation of the American west) she wouldn't have come up with a story a little less predictable.Product details

The Autobiography of a Traitor and a HalfSavage A Torcom Original eBook Alix E Harrow Reviews
Some magical powers can be harnessed for profit, but the cost of doing such a thing might be higher than anyone would have originally guessed.
Oona’s character development was amazing. Not only did I get a perfectly clear understanding of why she’d decided to do things that violated her moral code, I had a great deal of sympathy for the reasons that lead to her making these choices. She was a complex and sympathetic person from the first scene to the last one. The only thing better than getting to know her was seeing how she evolved over the course the of the plot.
It would have been helpful to have clarification about which Native American tribe Oona was supposed to have come from. While I understood why some parts of her family tree were so mysterious for her, not knowing about such an important detail about her life was a little disappointing to me as a reader because of how much else I’d been told about other parts of her life that were much less significant to her.
The ending was as poetic as it was satisfying. I’d come to appreciate the protagonist’s sometimes whimsical approach to describing her past and present. Seeing her continue this trend even to the end of the final paragraph was delightful. It was exactly what I’d expect from Oona, and it left me feeling quite pleased with how her conflicts were resolved.
I’d heartily recommend The Autobiography of a Traitor and a Half-Savage to new and longterm fans of the fantasy genre alike.

I've found a new favorite author! Crisp, clean writing. A new way of understanding the world around us. Mythology interwoven into the everyday. Heart-wrenching moments and deep wisdom about what motivates people. The interaction of diverse cultures. All of the things I love most, all in one short story. I fervently hope that the author writes more, and soon! This story will stay with me.
This is a sad, heart rending tale, fascinating, yet reminiscent of craning your neck to see a car wreck, while at the same time, not really wanting to see it. The ending both breaks your heart, and leaves you satisfied.
