A fantasy novel meets the Wild West, with comparisons to Westworld and The Handmaid's Tale (but not sure where that really played into it).
I thought this world had a lot of originality and important themes and messages throughout. I had a hard time discerning some of the characters from each other, and wanted them to stand out more on their own. Therefore, I felt a bit disengaged from the story as a whole. The more I read, the less connected I felt to the outcomes.
I also had a personal pet peeve regarding edits on this where the author overused the word 'now' through the entire book and it legit drove me crazy! Haha! An okay read, but not a favorite. I loved the world and the scenes the most, but was left wanting on character development and editing.
I think this book could appeal more to a younger YA audience, though it does allude to adult themes with the brothel setting.
