Despite the fact that I had hard time putting it down, this book was awful. It was so awful, that I ended up rage reading it to see if it ever improved. It didn't.

The most egregious problem for me was the lack of characterization. This was especially true for the female and Native American characters in the book. Women could be dived into four categories: prostitutes, robot prostitutes, former prostitutes, and women who can't understand why their men like prostitutes. The depiction of Native Americans was so one dimensional and borderline racist that it made my skin crawl. Ultimately, the writer was simply lazy and assumed that a steampunk western that included robotic prostitutes and Indians with magic powers was the same as putting in some effort.
