    About this ebook

    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?

      Beautiful prose & imagery which is only half why this is story is so sadly and desperately amazing. Do you want to get your heart broken in 25 minutes? If the answer is yes this is the story for you. I actually liked the abrupt ending . It was like my heart stopped just as the narrator's did at a key plot point. Perfection

      And, oh yeah, endnotes that are as good as the story? Yes please. I loved reading them at the very end and going back to see the context.
    • 4/5
      Astoundingly good. Feminine in approach and sensitivity. Could have used a little more vindictive savagery to plump out the rather abrupt ending. Will definitely read more by Harrow.
    • 5/5
      wow, other than the author's unnecessary footnotes this was an amazing story
