5/5 worldbuilding and imagery. I love the setting so much. Gothic sci-fi western? Yes please. So fucking cool.

1/5 characters and prose. Especially the male gaze-y fawning zero agency female characters. Ugh. Gross. Incredibly bad writing too :(.

I'll probably read more of the series. It's fun and light. Maybe some of the later books are better.
