Right off the bat, 5 seconds into listening, I heard something like me trying to do a Larry the Cable Guy impression (aka bad news bears). I just couldn’t do it.

Oufff, this was a tough read. It started dramatically with an excessive amount of swearing. It didn’t really work well as an audiobook because the narrators sounded way too similar. The characters started to blend together until you started to forget who’s who.
I was able to get through it until about 84%, at which point I completely lost interest and just listened to the last 16% for the sake of finishing it.
This book would likely be a 4 star in its physical form rather than the audiobook. It has promise, but as an audiobook, it wasn't for me..
TWs: Violence, death, abuse, stalking, excessive cursing/swearing, etc.
(I received this audiobook ALC via NetGalley in return for an honest review. Thank you.)

I read this because I mistakenly thought it was queer. It was not.
I enjoyed the writing style, but the book was not for me.

This took awhile for me to really get into. It’s not my normal style, I like thrillers but usually take a pass on westerns and feminist lit can be really hit or miss so for something billed as a feminist western thriller could have gone either way.
The first half of the book felt too slow, the backstory’s of each of the three main characters, too long to come about. I was losing interest and thought about chucking it in several times before the even got off the bus.
I liked the rage, the violence was well placed and the post-apocalyptic feel of a covid ridden environment was a fitting backdrop.
The second half of the book picked up in pace and the characters became more three dimensional, although the motivations were still pretty abstract.
Overall the book fell flat. The ending was disappointing and the characters lives just felt like a waste. Like what was the point of it all??
