johnny dangerously. reviewed Undefeated by Una McCormack
Review of 'Undefeated' on 'Goodreads'
2 stars
This isn't a story about slavery, it's a story about white guilt, which I don't personally find a very worthy topic. A story about slavery should be centered on slaves, but this one takes it's sweet time glamorizing the life of rich slave owners and how they can come to regret-- but not end-- their participation in the slave trade. All the slave characters-- genetically enhanced humans-- are portrayed as mysterious others with inscrutable goals. The fall of the slave-holding planetary government is written as tragic.
Two stars for competent prose.
