Aster, the protector
Violet, the favorite
Tansy, the medic
Mallow, the fighter
Clementine, the catalyst
In the fantastical country of Arketta, young girls are sometimes sold to 'Welcome Houses' by impoverished families. let's not beat around the bush here, they've been sold into the sex trade.
Our story opens on Clementine's Lucky Night. She's nervous, but with an older sister, Aster, already at the Good Luck Girls stage, she's ready to join her and the more easy lifestyle she believes comes with it.
When her night doesn't go as planned, and the patron ends up dead, Clementine seeks out her sister for help. Aster knows they need to run, or Clementine will be killed.Unbeknownst to them, some of the other girls aren't happy at the Welcome House either and they want to go with. They're fed up and they're not going to take it anymore.
The Good Luck Girls took me by surprise. I had no idea what it was about going in and I ended up really getting into it.
I loved the Western-feel of the setting and the light Fantasy elements sprinkled throughout. There is a lot of action and the characters were engaging. I wanted the girls to find safety wherever they could!
It had everything I could have possibly hoped for and more after having read the summary. It’s got sisterhood, found family, heists, murder, an adorable f/f budding romance, monsters (both human and inhuman), nuanced discussions on inequality and the differences in rights between men and women, strong women in every sense of the term and a desperate fight for freedom, all with a sprinkle of dark magic.
