Upright Women Wanted

Just a short review, because other people have said what I wanted to say, in a more eloquent way. I love the vibes and am addicted to stories that involve folks traveling around in wagons. The first reveal moment is fricking hilarious.
The good:
The vibes!
The main character being consistently naïve and not becoming insta cool 20 pages in.
Parts of the world building.
The bad:
The world building needed to a little further. I was left feeling like I was holding a chain that had missing links.
The romance the main has...just feels sort of forced. It may have worked in a full length novel, a sequel novella, or if this novella had a time skip. As it is, it just feels like the author was super into these character & was shouting now kiss! while clapping her hands maniacally. tl;dr the romance timeline was off.
The ending was a bit disappointing to me because I felt like it overlooked certain issues. Sending the main character out to be a librarian when in theory she's on the run, just seems like a bad idea. It would make more sense for her chill with the resistance for a few months and get training first. Let the heat die off. Instead, we seem to have forgotten that may even be an issue. Forgetting how your book started when it's a novella is just a weird mistake.
