Read more like a Wattpad story  than a published novel. Expected more from a book about futuristic, rebel librarians.

This book had a really good message that was, unfortunately, spelled out in black and white at the end of the book like a moral in one of Aesop's fables. The characters were sweet but all rather one dimensional. The end came a little bit out of nowhere with thing wrapping up just a little too quickly and perfectly. That said, the Western backdrop was surprisingly appropriate for the story being told, and I found myself liking the simple plot. Just sweet and simple. Would make a great children's movie!
