I’m a little cranky headed into this bc 1) the first thing I read is hero worship of Ron Rash, who I think is overrated; and 2) I was majorly put off by Joy’s pitiful attempt at writing a woman character in Where All the Light Tends to Go. I do love much about Joy’s writing though and I’m excited to read this.

I do like this but wanted to provide an update for shitty writing of women characters. There have been 2 women “characters” mentioned by chapter 7: one is a dead wife, and one is an addict sex worker who is beaten mercilessly, not mentioned in more than 3-4 sentences.
I get Joy writes about mountain men with long beards and drug addictions and hands itching at violence-that’s his thing. But come on dude
