Gunslinger Girl
by Lyndsay Ely
I was confused by this one. Not to say it wasn’t good, it just wasn’t for me. From the cover, the title, the blurb, and even the beginning ... I thought I was going to get something very the Quick and the Dead
like, except set in the future. Instead it was a hodgepodge of things, and the western stuff is only in the first few chapters.
As for characters, this is a small thing, but I just didn’t like the name Pity, so since it was written in third person I kept seeing Pity, Pity, PITY! I would have just loved to have seen her whole name Serendipity or even Seren or Sera.. It didn’t affect whether I liked the book or not, though.
Here’s what I didn’t get about Pity. We are led to believe she’s a badass shooter and stuff, but when moments come she becomes very human. Which I personally love when a character isn’t overly strong, but the thing is, she’s supposed to be from the first few chapters. So, it’s like a character flipflop. Max was super sweet, but even he acted like a baby. Speak what’s on your mind, boy!!
The author writes well, and plenty of people will fall in love with this story. But like I said, I wanted a full blown western set in the future!
