Gunslinger Girl by Lyndsay Ely
4.0

What a ride. This book had so many interesting elements. It was a little dystopian, a little alternative historical fiction, a little fantasy, and a little fantasy. You have a young woman in a male dominated world who is about to be traded to another “town” because she’s fertile. Her father and brothers expect her to cook and clean and do whatever they say. If not, her dad smacks her around. And once she escapes the real drama begins.
The pace was a bit slow until she got to cessasation but not in a bad way. I loved the whole spectacle going on in this lawless place. The characters and the show and even the politics. Is anyone really who they seem? I think this potential to be a fantastic series.
