This is NOT a romance or a romantic fantasy — I really cannot emphasize this fact enough, lol. You might be fooled even halfway through the novella, but I’m warning you not to get trapped into wrong expectations. 😅

Roanhorse is a wonderful writer and I tore through the novella in an hour. The mystery plot is a bit basic/predictable, but I didn’t care because I enjoyed the setting so much. We’ve barely scratched the worldbuilding surface of this angelic, Wild West-inspired fantasy. I love it when a protagonist gradually reveals themselves as devious and reprehensible — Celeste’s transformation into an anti-heroine was delicious.

Disclaimer: I received a free e-ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
