- TREAD OF ANGELS is a reimagined fantastical Wild West story, drawing on Biblical and mythological elements.
- As with many novellas, I was left wanting to know more about this world, but Roanhorse still managed to pack in a ton of worldbuilding and quite an array of characters.
- I think a lot of readers might be put off by Celeste's prickliness. I liked that her story arc was essentially about being headstrong and unlikeable, though (and yet, I think a lot of people will be mad at the ending!)
