I didn't like this quite as much as the first one, partly because it's really violent, and partly because it didn't have the same level of rhythmic prose that the first one did, when it was telling the story of Death, Beauty, and Ginny. That being said, I'm still fascinated by the weirdness and the general story remains compelling. I do enjoy the fact that the two reapers with primary roles here are women, too - I'm not overly familiar with westerns, but the ones I have come across seem to have somewhat limited gender roles, so it's interesting to see Pretty Deadly play with genre tropes here, with Ginny and Alice having a sword-and-gunfight out in the desert. I do note, though, that there's still a prostitute featured fairly heavily here, which tracks with the westerns I know and which doesn't seem terribly innovative in comparison with the rest of it, although to be fair I'm still not entirely sure how much that particular storyline intersects with the rest.
