Okay so first I am absolutely obsessed with how good this cover is.If this was in a museum I would buy a print for my office
For inside - I enjoyed this but it is too long. I thought the world building is exceptional, all of the characters are really complex and rich. Saint is way more complicated than I thought she would be from the blurb. She will make you uncomfortable. And sometimes you will fully be on her side. 👇

Finishing the tagged (have a little over 100pgs to go) Reading SGJ's The Buffalo Hunter Hunter (I am about 75 pages in already and loving it)
Starting Real Americans which is due back to the library next weekend (#ToB), and Still Life With Bones (#NFReads)

Isn't that the way it often is?

I started the tagged a bit ago but go distracted by library books hoping to get a good jump on the years page goals with it out the gate.
You know those times when you already have four other books on the go, and just picked up two library holds, and have a mile-high TBR pile at home, but then you open the first page of a 573 page chunkster and the first paragraph draws you in so completely you just HAVE to bring it home with you and read it immediately?
Yeah, me too.
Had a great weekend at Printers Row in Chicago and finally picked this one I‘ve been eyeing all year up. It was clearly meant to be as it is now signed.
