picked this up after watching the movie and wondering what the original comic was like, and while i think i do like the movie a fair bit more this was still a fun little read- ballister and ambrosius being even messier exes here than they are in the movie was real fun in particular lol

My only note is that Stevenson should not have included skin-walkers, since Native folks have been pretty adamant that they don't want non-Natives using that lore.

Otherwise, I really enjoyed it!

This and Bloodlust and Bonnets are both so good. I describe both as wacky-evil fantasy. The real villains are always the ones that are the ‘good guys’ in the book and the characters all like murder a bit too much.

I loved this book it was so quirky and fun! It’s a fast read that still has depth.
