emsim's review against another edition

sad tense medium-paced

The Handmaid's Tale but make it a western, with a dash of Station Eleven.

4.5

4.5 rounded down to a 4. 

I saw many reviews about how this book was a let down and I completely disagree! It is not a fast paced book that sucks you in and you can't put it down. Instead, it has a lot of character development which makes you deeply care for each character. I grew up watching westerns with my dad so I loved the outlaw nature of this story. What I loved even more is how it touched on gender fluidity and barrenness. This book has a ton of girl power which is a fresh take on a western. I will definitely come back to this story to read in the future.

Yeah.... this just isn’t the action packed queer adventure everyone is screaming about. The characters are ambiguously queer until more than half way through. It’s not bold. It’s not some new feminist manifesto. Just another white feminist book leaving out so many people. It was okay.
