This was a really well done novella. Gailey created more empathetic, complex characters than many authors have accomplished with many more pages.

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.
