DID NOT FINISH: 20%

Too YA, the yearning too childish, the plot too small (?), just didn’t vibe

adventurous hopeful mysterious fast-paced

Loved the Western setting and the figurative language to match!

For me, this book doesn’t quite live up to the promise of its premise, but I enjoyed reading it.

I adored this little book! I only wish it had been like 30 chapters longer, or maybe we'll get a sequel! But I loved the western feel of it, the Sapphic slow burn, the self discovery, and I loved the fight against the patriarchy! 10/10 would recommend in these trying times.

I really feel like this could have been a full length novel. Everything about this was interesting to me and it would've been even more interesting if it had all been expanded on. The relationships, the world building, the betrayal. I hardly ever wish a book had been longer but this one probably would have really benefitted from being like twice as long
