Review of Tannara Young, “Who Do We Become?,” Luna Station Quarterly 55 (2023): Read online. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
The story opens with the scene unfolding on the protracted hanging of thief Bey Lestorn. We never get to see the end of it, because with deft and vivid imagery, Young suddenly yanks the story sideways, leaving both the characters and the reader going “what on earth just happened??” That doesn’t often happen with me when I’m reading, so full kudos to Young for such an effective shift.
The rest of the story traces the fallout from this one singular event, and it was compellingly and thoughtprovokingly told.
