Uneven collection that often overexplained itself.

The author really doesn't believe in "show don't tell" and footnoted and explained every little thing, especially in "Buffalo Bird". One egregious example: Text from story - "like a child hiding during a telling of the Rolling Head story" footnote: "The is a particularly terrifying sacred story that Cree and Métis people tell during the winter months." Yes, Chelsea, I gathered that from context!

Favorites were "Michif Man" and "Maggie Sue" (the latter I seem to like more than most reviewers). These had the most compelling characters and did the most conceptually.

Seeing some praise for "Unsettled", which I find surprising, I thought the worldbuilding there made little sense.

Wavered between 2 and 3, but it brought enough new and interesting ideas to the table for 3. Just wish the author let the reader figure it out a little more.
