A review by frasersimons
Northwest Resistance by Katherena Vermette

4.0

Another solid entry, penultimate, I believe. In which Echo, in engaging with the historical text at school again dreams herself into history; only she has no agency there and is a mere spectator to the destruction of her people. Something I thought was a good way of illustrating the empathy exercise of reading, as coupled with an active imagination and probably hyper phantasic mind.

Plot wise, there’s a bit more of a development on the family front too. And, as usual, a timeline of historical events is at the end; always helpful and nice. I saw some people complain it wasn’t as fleshed out as the list of events… it’s 48 pages, not 140.
