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.

I was very impressed by this! I was burned by the last "feminist western" I read, but this was great and I'm looking forward to recommending it to a few friends. 
The characters felt real, the plot was high-stakes, but grounded and there were some excellent pieces of writing throughout. 
Points off because

I didn't like that Lark, the bi eunuch king, was introduced just to die

and I'm not sure how much I'll think about this now that I'm done with it.

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.
