The Undefeated

This is a story of slavery and uprising by the slaves, and the accounting which eventually comes to the slave owners for their crimes.

I thought that the backstory of this novella was really interesting, but the story itself mostly consists of narrative relating events which occurred in the past rather than taking the reader along for the ride as they occur, which has a disappointing distancing effect and makes it difficult to get emotionally invested in the main characters.

[I think that the choice of "jenjer" as a designation for the slave race was unfortunate in that it kept making me think that the slaves were all redheads, and pulling me out of the story. Given the author's apparent haircolor, this may have been an intentional dig at childhood tormentors.]
