sad tense medium-paced

The Handmaid's Tale but make it a western, with a dash of Station Eleven.

Fun and adventurous to read--I will certainly be keeping an eye out for other feminist westerns. However, the story lacked depth in both character development and world-building. The backstories of the fellow outlaws were lacking. I understand the need to let pieces on information come in slowly, but for some reason the characters all felt like they were at an arm's distance. North also piqued my interest by mentioning a "Flu" that devastated the U.S. but never fully investigated this and its effects on the outlaws, the U.S. and the story.  Lastly, for how this novel was pitched in marketing, the idea of queerness, gender-bending, and found family was not nearly investigated well enough. North does nothing but scratch the surface of these topics, potentially causing harm in the process.

It was a good book but it should've been longer, I felt like I didn't get to know the characters as well as I should have and some characters felt like I never really did get to know them even if they told their backstory. I like that they had a bisexual guy though that was nice to see as bi men are extremely underrated I'm not a bi guy though so I can't tell you if he was good representation or not.
