A review by mariahreadit
Saddle Up by A.M. Arthur

dark emotional tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

 i can't speak about the ebook but the fact that there wasn't a single trigger warning on the audiobook is criminal.
