I absolutely loved this book! Really gripping, from start to finish! I can't wait for the sequels to come out! 
 -The genre is, essentially, a cross between classic western and modern urban fantasy - think Louis L'Amour meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer 
 -The protagonist is a great example of writing diversity into a traditionally very non-diverse setting: Nettie is half-Black and half-Comanche, female-bodied but doesn't identify as a woman, and attracted to both men and women, but none of this feels forced. 
 -The "voice" of the novel is extremely clear. I'm pretty sure that I read the whole thing with an old west type accent in my head. The writing style of the novel is strongly influenced by the protagonist's illiteracy, but at no point does it feel dumbed-down or simplistic - it simply seems to reflect Nettie's straightforward approach to the world.
