Reviews for Tread of Angels

[Jo · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I thoroughly enjoyed this well crafted story. Roanhorse gracefully conveyed a complex and thoughtful message through her key characters, setting, and plot. The story was also beautifully read.

It was interesting but there was a lot of talking and not much action

[Rian K · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

While there were some stand out moments and a killer ending, I can’t tell you what happened in at least 60% of this. I wasn’t actively paying attention and that’s okay! I’ll give it another try later.

This was a slight detour from what I've been reading. And I liked it. It gave me Wynonna Earp vibes.
