4.5

I had a really good time reading this. It felt like exactly the type of thing I needed to kickstart my end-of-year reading/get me out of a small reading slump. It was exciting to get to see so many diverse types of queerness and identity in a setting where those histories are often erased. This novel managed to get a lot done in a short space while not feeling overly rushed. 

I'm really fucking upset about Lark, though. Who would have guessed I could simp so hard for a man? I'm still mourning his life with Ada in Pagosa Springs. I do wish there was more of a clear build-up to Ada being ready to take over Alice's surgery, but I also think given the pace of the book, it was still really well done. 

Yay for queer cowboys!

A fun speculative semi-historical fiction novel, reads fun and fast. Will be a hit with the queers and I think also with the type of liberal women/other readers who like books like The Power, Future Home of the Living God, or Handmaids Tale. Lots of old Wild West and post-apocalyptic tropes in new clothes. Not the deepest read but a fun one- would have liked a map in the front.
