Reading this is like watching a car wreck

Also, ur going to have gratuitous violence in your novel, idk, there should be impact to it?

The way that Native Americans are discussed and portrayed here is really uncomfortable? from a historical perspective yes Native Americans were scary to white settlers, at the same time, white people were slowly encroaching on their territory, and no where in this book is that a conversation. Lonesome Dove, a book written decades ago, still humanized native Americans, even if they were often in an adversarial role.

JFC I was expecting this to be more fun flirty lady doctor western adventure, not a true western in the sense that it’s super fucking violent and people die constantly.

“but it is difficult for me to believe a doctor would kill another person willingly and knowingly.” Lmao girlfriend there is literally an entire true crime genre of doctors and nurses who kill patients
