A review by nuevecuervos
Silver on the Road by Laura Anne Gilman
3.0
Augh, so several things:
1) I enjoyed this book as well as its characterizations of pretty much everyone, including the West itself
2) This is only the most recent book that has caused me to say, "oh! this is YA. I had no idea." It's apparently not? It's not a problem for me, since the genre wouldn't have dissuaded me from reading it anyway, but FYI.
3) The worldbuilding is magnificent, and one of my favorites in the current Paranormal Old West
rage.
4) DEAR SWEET BABY JESUS DOESN'T ANYONE JUST WRITE A DAMN BOOK ANYMORE. I know I sound like a grumpy old man waving a rusty shotgun at a bunch of teenagers slinking off the lawn, but help me. The end of this book is a damn setup for ten thousand more. It's like, the pilot of Supernatural, or say, Friday the 13th (the series). We do get some closure, but it's not satisfying; it feels like a setup, and I'm annoyed. bah. anyway. Wake me when the series ends and I may return.
