Lone Women by Victor LaValle
4.0
dark emotional informative mysterious reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Lone Women is a great fantastical horror story, but also a welcome history lesson into how black, chinese and single women played a role in settling the west as homesteaders.  It was suspenseful, gorey, emotional, and a bit funny at times. I enjoyed the story, but was left with many questions at the end.  Wouldn’t mind some plot holes being filled, but satisfied nonetheless.
