This book was really good and had amazing characters/plot. I was hooked almost immediately and could really get into the writing style. I enjoyed Esther’s inner thoughts and the narration of everything. However, the reason it’s not rated higher is the length. I feel like I would’ve been more emotionally attached to the characters (much sooner) if there had been more. The book could have started with Esther’s backstory and her escape. I also could’ve done with a little more worldbuilding because (maybe it was just me) I didn’t fully understand until about halfway through. I liked the ending a lot, but there could’ve been more in the middle where we got to see more of the group. I still loved everyone, and this book got me out of a reading slump!

This was a really well done novella. Gailey created more empathetic, complex characters than many authors have accomplished with many more pages.

This book was fine. It didn’t blow me away. It was a little heavy handed or corny at times. Lots of queer and trans characters. A dystopian future that feels just like the Wild West.

It’s gay and it’s the wild wild west (is there really any other way to do the wild west?). Light on the worldbuilding and featuring a purposely ignorant (read: brainwashed) baby queer narrator, this book was a fun super easy read.
