This book was fine. It didn’t blow me away. It was a little heavy handed or corny at times. Lots of queer and trans characters. A dystopian future that feels just like the Wild West.

Oh boy, what a ride! I'm used to a slow start, but this one just started full speed, no excuses taken! I don't have much to comment, just that it was a page-turner that never slowed down, even in the times that there wasn't something super chaotic happening. I really enjoyed how diverse the cast was, from wlw couples to ppl outside the binary (Cye my beloved) and even non-monogamous folks! As someone who is both the three (tho I am also aroace, so platonic love for me), I loved seeing it haha It never felt a tiny bit forced, maybe because of the way it works with the plot and the way characters are much more than their labels! 
The only negative bit (and the reason I gave it a 4.5/5 and not a full note) is that it ended in a way that works way too well for a sequel when there isn't one... and I wanna read it!! >:'( Hmph!

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!

I absolutely loved Upright Women Wanted, and am looking forward to reading more of Sarah Gailey's works. Post apocalyptic (dystopia in the future? not quite fully explained) queer romance where Librarians are gunslingers delivering information (both legal and illegal).... what more could I ask for? My only qualm with the work is that it is a novella rather than a novel as I desperately wanted to read more about thee characters and the world in which they inhabit.
