Unfortunately, I can’t name anything exciting happening in this book, but the author definitely has potential to grow.

Wow what a debut this is! This feminist found-family western doesn't pause even for a minute.
There are a ton of great elements to this book, here's just a few:

• The development of Aster and Violet's friendship feels so real.
  I really hope we see Violet again in the sequel. I don't handle character's sacrificing themselves well, especially one so well written.
• The vengeants and raveners are horrifying! As if running from unjust laws wasn't enough, our heroes are also running from malevolent spirits and men with the ability to break your mind with ease. 
• Aster's experience with working through trauma are authentic and messy. Her reluctance to trust others makes sense considering her circumstances.
• Our sapphic girls, Tansy and Mallow, survive and are happy together.
   
• Charlotte Nicole Davis pulls from dark American history (as well as current events and impacts) for this story including slave catching patrols, hysterectomies performed without consent/gynecology surgical experimentation/forced sterilization, and sexual slavery. These are incredibly high stakes for any characters to endure.

I can't wait to read the sequel to revisit these strong young women and their allies.
