I was glad that this book avoided any tragic trans narratives. But everything else about it was predictable tropes and devices. Our main character of veteran with PTSD. The combat experiences and trauma did not get the attention they deserved and he never really felt like a full person.
That tells people we’re small minded sheep. Of course you had the overbearing pastor and narrow worldview. At no point that this book subvert my expectations
I felt like the characters needed more time to explore their feelings and motivations. I also feel like the towns people needed to be more than a mob. They were some interesting ideas. The plot and characters needed work.
