This was a really quick but fun read. I'd watched Haven (it's not ...good, do not recommend) a very long time ago and was expecting The Colorado Kid to have more of a sci-fi angle than it did, at least a more overt one, so it was cool to see what the book actually did. I liked the ending, though I understand why it's apparently pretty polarizing.
(I will say — what the fuck is up with the cover...)

Easy read because it's clearly written, which is a relief because the subject matter can be really intense in a bad way. A page turner, too. I have a lot of thoughts about everything but it's quite jumbled.
What's wild to me about all of this is the era it was happening in. 2003-2004 was the era of Islamophobic panic across France and Canada and the USA, and then you have these intensely white supremacist bigots out in the desert enacting religious laws that are absolutely horrific and abusing children and men and women and doing a lot of human trafficking and slave labour of children but it's fine because it's (mostly) Christian. Right? UGH.
