Mixing a magical fantasy and western is such a great combo and I really enjoyed every time we got to see a little more about this world our characters live in. The growth of Aster as a main character was also great to see and her arc was very much an integral part of the story, if a bit predictable at times.

Stories about found family bonds, overcoming past traumatic experiences and fighting the system are always ones I enjoy, I just found that there was something missing for me personally with this one. I really wanted to love this book as it came so highly recommend to me by a friend but I just liked it. I definitely had to talk myself into picking it up and reading a couple chapters a few times but overall I enjoyed the story.

This world has so much potential and I hope more of it is explored in books to come as Davis is an extremely talented writer. If dark fantasy adventure, standing up for yourself and sisterhood are your jam, definitely give this book a read!

I'm not normally into westerns (even fantasy westerns), but this book was a great read. There was a lot left unanswered (how are people's shadows removed? how exactly is race tied to debt?), but the story and character development itself made it worthwhile. I love the idea of escaped comfort women banding together to steal from their oppressors and help others in their situation, even if they fell into it half by accident. Like Robin Hood meets Thelma and Louise or something. Anyhow, this was a great start to a series!
