Red Waters Rising by Laura Anne Gilman
5.0
Okay. This book. This book got its claws into me and shredded everything it could reach. I'm sitting here and looking around and wondering how other people are just moving on with their lives when this story has been hard at work destroying me.
If you read Patricia C Wrede's Frontier Magic series and the complete erasure of native culture left a bad taste in your mouth, you should read this series. It's road trip/coming of age/weird west and it's very well done. Isobel is a heroine I'd be happy to introduce to Emi. She makes mistakes and learns from them and does what needs to be done, even when it's hard. Which is something worth knowing how to do.
