4.0

 This book gave me 1984 vibes, which I enjoyed. I'll admit it had a slow start and didn't pick up until part 2 (110 pages in) but once Lady Mae became The Butcher I was loving it.

I picked up this book expecting wild west horror but instead got wild west dystopian horror with lots of emotion and important message and lessons.
