Wow, I had a blast reading this! I can't remember the last fantasy book besides [b:A Darker Shade of Magic|22055262|A Darker Shade of Magic (Shades of Magic, #1)|V.E. Schwab|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1400322851l/22055262._SY75_.jpg|40098252] that I just had fun reading. Spellslinger has great characters with wonderful chemistry, a fast-moving plot with short easy chapters, and some very fun fight scenes. I loved the Western feel to this book and I can't wait to pick up the rest of this series.


My favorite quotes from this book include:

"Life's a curse, kid. Love is the cure"

" I'm a woman, kid. You probably haven't met one before, coming as you do from this backward place, but it's like a man only smarter and with bigger balls."

“History is written by the victors, but the truth has a way of revealing itself.”
