Waiting on Wednesday: Retribution Rails by Erin Bowman

A weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine

Title: Retribution Rails
Series: Vengeance Road #2
Author: Erin Bowman
Published: November 7, 2017 by HMH Books for Young Readers




Why I'm Waiting:

I absolutely loved Vengeance Road. It was such a fantastic piece of historical fiction. I was all about the YA Westerns a few years ago when that book first came out and I don't think I have gotten any less interested. It was a trend at the time but it still isn't something you see very often so I still get really excited about them when I see them. Plus Erin did a really great job in immersing the reader in that world and historical setting so I am excited to return to it.

But this is a companion to Vengeance Road so it doesn't give us the same characters which frankly I am a little disappointed about because I loved Kate so much. But I'm sure the new characters will be just as good. Bowman wrote a very complex strong female protagonist is Vengeance Road so I am sure that will happen here as well. Plus come on, the synopsis says that they manipulate each other toward their own end so I'm on board.

I am expecting another supper thrilling and fast-paced read with lots of action and adventure because that's what Vengeance Road was. Plus how could this one not be like that based on the synopsis. It has mysterious gold coins, botched train robberies, threats of the noose. You have my attention, book.

I have a copy of this book from Netgalley and I am super excited to read it when we get closer to release date. I'm so pumped for another YA western. It's going to be great!
