I feel like this book couldn't decide if it was trying to be a cowboy story, religious cult, or social commentary. Any of those elements could have carried the story, but none of them were developed enough to do so, and the book wound up feeling jumbled and misguided.

I wish there had been more exploration of the world and social commentary aspects of the story. The society is based on the premise that barren women are often executed for witchcraft. The main character is infertile and wants to figure out why women are infertile, but it didn't really go further than that. I loved the beginning because I thought it was a set up for a really nuanced look at women's role in society, but it didn't do much more than sexism bad.

The book also tried to tackle race (not well) and gender identity (AFAB characters were all basically treated as women). I think she had good intentions, but bad execution.

I dunno. If you're looking for a feminist cowboy story or good social commentary, I think this will fall short of the mark, but it was still fun. Just not one I'd really recommend.
