Save a horse, ride a lesbian!

Does a little too much for a book that's way too short. Despite this its very fun. Would I reread it? No. But I did have fun!

I will preface this by saying that I don't love comparing books in a negative way to other books - but I was hoping to like this more than I liked Outlawed, and I did. It's just the right length, I think, and I'm glad that the author didn't succumb to the pressure of making it longer just because (even though I want more out of this world!). I liked that nothing felt like it was hitting me over the head. More queer speculative westerns, please!

(Incomplete CWs logged because I'm writing the review way later)

I really enjoyed the story! I wish the love story hadn’t been made so clear from the start (more longing, make me wonder if it would happen!) and that the political implications were slightly less direct. The author could have trusted the readers a bit more with understanding the allegory
