This book was okay. In an alternate old west with airships, a small-town postmistress is kidnapped by a group of lady bandits who aren't exactly what they seem.
The book is quite short and written in simple language that felt like a YA novel. There isn't much actual action until the end, the majority of the book is the main character’s conflicted thoughts and conversations with the bandits. The characters are interesting but mostly pretty shallow in terms of character traits. There's an attempt made to address some real-world topics like racism and domestic abuse, but the treatment is pretty superficial and fluffy due to the short runtime.
It was a fun little diversion, but ultimately forgettable.
