Thanks to NetGalley for the review copy.
Roanhorse is a strong writer and is perhaps better suited for longer works. There was a lot of focus on the very interesting setting here, so much so that the plot and characters took a backseat to it. This was an enjoyable and smooth read, but felt like it was missing something.
When everything was resolved it sure felt like the last twenty or so pages were doing a lot of the plot's legwork for it.
