REVIEW: “Where the Wind Sleeps” by Emmie Christie

Review of Emmie Christie, “Where the Wind Sleeps,” Luna Station Quarterly 63 (September 2025): 241-263 — Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.

When Rya and Orley set off from Caverns to find the place where the Wind sleeps, there were many questions that I had. Some were answered as the story went along, but by the end of the story, one remained: Is it really okay to hunt down and kill something simply because it is dangerous to you? I’m not so sure — meaning Rya and Orley were perhaps not quite as sympathetic to me as I think author intended them to be, even if the ending brought a modicum of resolution.
