horizonous's review against another edition

Reading about misogyny through the window of "you're only a woman if you (can) give birth (to as many children as possible)" and everything regarding pregnancies, miscarriages, abortions in detail makes me deeply uncomfortable. Also, I think I had it with religious bigotry of this type for a while since I read "Under the Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakauer.

Additional TW (Moderate): genital mutilation— is tht not a tag bc body horror?(discussion/description); Character Death (not main character death); The ‘Moderate’ TWs are for like, things that Exist in the world but are (i think) handled very well. The framing is very clear for example: Racism. Racism exists and is an oppressive force to contend with but Our Characters recognize it as Bad and Wrong and won’t give the ‘race mixing’ conversation any credence. So these are topics touched on throughout.

This book puts me in a complicated feeling. It starts off promising. A well established setting and lore and quick progression between scenes and events. It’s just the last maybe fourth of the book that begins to lose the plot. It feels like a story the author wasn’t sure how to finish. It’s not about any one relationship so it can focus on the dynamic of the world but I believe not developing the dynamics of the core found family is actually a detriment in this case. It’s a fairly short story that honestly needs a bit of fleshing

What can I say, I’m a sucker for a good Wild West setting. Throw in some queer folks and there was no way I was putting this book down before I finished it.
