This was clever.
At first, I was just puttering along getting a feel for it and sightseeing when I realized that the way the story is written actually makes the reader the frickin' mark in a shell game. You think you're paying attention following along and when you go to turn it over--Slap! Wrong. You were deceived. Distracted.
The weaving of mythologies is really well done. The shredding of tropes was amusing, but maybe a tad heavy-handed. Overall, fun and smart. Btw. Don't feel bad as the reader, everyone gets played. Smile and enjoy the trick.
Favorite quote:
Despite being tricksters, Coyotes are very serious when it comes to the Feud, and they wouldn’t have one they believe to be weak-blooded playing their game.
