chasinash's review against another edition

adventurous dark emotional fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

3.75

The writing is magnificent. I gave it less stars because I’m tired of authors using the same old tropes to drive dialogue or plot. Please get more creative! These are over-used and unnecessary. 

Glorifying manifest destiny, wagon trains, pioneers 

Disparaging comments on Jewish people

Magical negro trope, Jar of blackface 

“Japs” / “Distinctly oriental ring / “Recent trip to the Orient”
Misogyny: “Unsuited to matrimony” and women who care for male characters without reciprocity
