An action packed adventure that I enjoyed reading from start to finish. I often wanted to continue and couldn't wait to find out how life would go for the girls. I desperately wanted them to succeed and get out of the awful situation they were landed in, but also felt very invested in seeing this world be improved. 
There were a few supernatural elements with the tattoos that glow when covered as they are made from ink beyond the veil (or of the veil?) and also the vengeful spirits that are the ghosts of people who have passed away and literally can rip you to shreds, but you cannot see them. 
It breaks my heart to know that this kind of world does exist in quite a similar way still for many girls and women. I wish it wasn't so, this is quite a heavy topic, but it isn't a depressing book.

Ok maybe five stars is rash? But this was so great. A Western but with magic and ghosts/vengeful spirits. Queer girls punching rich old guys and stealing their money in the ruins of an empire. There's a lot more to explore here for sure but looks like this is a series... I can't wait for more.
