Loved. 

“Everywhere,” Esther whispered to herself. “There are people like us everywhere.” Cye and Amity looked at each other, then back at Esther. “Yeah, Hopalong,” Cye said carefully. “People like us.”

“If there’s more like us, and if everywhere the State controls is the same … then I’d bet they’re just as scared as I’ve always been. I’d bet they’re just as hopeless.” She shook her head, looked down at her hands. “That’s not right. And if we can help make that stop, then I’m okay with not being alright.”

This was great, the reason why i said 4.75 instead of 5 was because I wish it was longer. It would have been nice to have a slower burn plot for this type of story and give them more time to develop the characters. That being said, this was a lot of fun and very hopeful for a dystopia.

My only critique of this book was in its length and how much more I wanted from the world/story/characters

I wanted to like this book: queer, feminist, Western - the premise is so great! However, the whole thing read like a very rough first draft; it needed a lot of editing and it needed to be developed! The author needed to include more detail throughout this story. There was too much that wasn’t explored or that didn’t quite make sense because it just dove into the action without explaining, and when it did explain, the explanation was clunky. A cool premise, but poorly written.
