An Easy Death by Charlaine Harris
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Gunnie Rose is a tough gun wielding teen who hires out her serves as a gunman. At the beginning of An Easy Death, she’s part of a squad but disaster strikes and Gunnie Rose is the only one who survives. She finishes the job and gets herself home but needs to find more work and soon. So, as much as she hates it, when two Russian wizards offer her a job, she takes it.

Fantasy westerns just aren’t common. Sci-fi mixed with westerns show up regularly. There is something about space and frontier narrative that just goes together. Less so fantasy. I wasn’t sure how it was going to go, and the grittiness of the setting took some getting used to. The thing about westerns is that they have that whole gritty individual takes on the world thing going. Gunnie Rose is taking on the world. It beats her up and down but in the end she wins.

Hooray for strong female protagonists.
