benwerd reviewed Red River Resistance by Katherena Vermette (A Girl Called Echo Vol. 2)
Review of 'Red River Resistance' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
The story being drawn here is important and needs to be told. I wish there were more pages: at times the book feels like a series of impressionistic vignettes rather than continuous plot. But I’m still hooked, and I’m curious to see where this is going. There’s not enough about Echo in the mix, for me; we learn about Canada’s sordid past with respect to its indigenous peoples, but not enough about how that connects to the present. I assume that’s coming in future volumes.
