The one thing I can say is that it was the right length. If it had been any longer, I wouldn’t have finished it. It was the exact right length of how much I could handle reading it.
The similes were a lot.

This is a great book for those fond of westerns, cowboys, vigilante justice, historical fiction, and ambiguous characters.
My only criticism of this book is that the reviews led me to believe it was funnier than it was or that it was more explicit in queer romance scenes. I also found it a little slower to get into, but by chapter three I was totally hooked.

This concept is phenomenal, one that really set the book up for success, but unfortunately it fell apart.
It started strong, but unravelled with every added character. A bisexual cowboy? Sure.
A gender fluid character using non-binary pronouns in the 19th century Gulf Coast? You've lost me. But wait! Now there's a pregnant, lesbian, contract killer who "hopes to never see a hammer in action."
In addition to my suspense of disbelief being stretched so thin for this time period novel, I couldn't attach myself to the characters. I didn't care whether they lived or died because I felt no real connection to them.
Also, no mention of slavery, discrimination, or anything else that definitely existed.
All together, this novella screams SOCIAL ACTIVIST TRYING TOO HARD.
What's the politically correct, gender neutral term for massively disappointed?
This could've been something great.
