Great idea, not my favorite writing style

I honestly love what he’s trying to do with this story, I just personally am not a fan of how it’s paced, and his overall style for the book. The ideas he is putting into this world and this story are amazing and I love seeing how his mind works on ideas like death and life and religion. I do also feel though that the book seems sort of rushed and I’m more than halfway through and haven’t really experienced anything significant in terms of plot, other than the thing revealed early on with Zane becoming death. I will say I am not done yet so I reserve the right to amend this, but honestly my problem isn’t with content so much with how it’s put out there which probably won’t change in the last hundred pages. I will say, I want to read the rest of the series so I am at least compelled to do that which is more than so many books have been able to do for me.

Not an easy death
Contains spoilers, click to show
Set in a fractured United States, in the southwestern country now known as Texoma. A world where magic is acknowledged but mistrusted, especially by a young gunslinger named Lizbeth Rose. Battered by a run across the border to Mexico Lizbeth Rose takes a job offer from a pair of Russian wizards to be their local guide and gunnie. For the wizards, Gunnie Rose has already acquired a fearsome reputation and they’re at a desperate crossroad, even if they won’t admit it. They’re searching through the small border towns near Mexico, trying to locate a low-level magic practitioner, Oleg Karkarov. The wizards believe Oleg is a direct descendant of Grigori Rasputin, and that Oleg’s blood can save the young tsar’s life.

I'm not one for writing negative reviews and I really really wanted to like this book. Bit omg can someone tell me why Charlaine Harris is constantly writing about stupid annoying women? Considering the girl losses pretty much her love and friends in the first chapter she hardly has any emotional response. I just don't get the storyline or world building either. I won't be going on to book 2 😢 Definitely not an easy death
