How The Skin Sheds by Chad Lutzke

I enjoy but I also think there was a hint of political stuff here which made me cringe every couple of chapters.
First of all , this is a fast pace revenge story about a man trying to avenge his sister's death. We've got three characters, first the man who is visiting is sister saw her killed and butchered, he also finds his young teen niece (of eleven) which was abused by the man (why he didn't kill her as well?). Then we have a new-freed slave which is the best friend of our main protagonist, and how we know it? Because the main character (Garrett) says so to other people.. Why someone would introduce a black person to other people, like
- "...me and my real good friend.."
- "... is he the most loyal and trusting man yo'll ever meet..."
- "...My name is Garrett Walkinshaw. This here's my best friend in all the world, Franklin."
Wtf? Who talks like this? It's like he is compensating, no?
This and the part that ALL White Male Characters are racist All , except our main character. Everyone else is racist part of klan or something like that. Every black person, well the two are virtuous and good. Did the writer wrote this in the midst of BLM manifestation? What a heck. IT's like Garrett is Chad and he is ashame of his fellow white people and see himself as a white saviour. Oh well... thank the lords it was only 100 pages long...
Overall, it was a nice revenge story, Django inspired. Enjoying seeing Nadine and the tribulations she had to endured. I also liked Franklin. He endured slavery and became free (so this story is set after 1865 I guess) and , although the main character is cringe as fuck and at times overshadow Franklin speaking at times for him, it was interesting to see his struggle and always keeping a smile and positive action until the end.
As I've said, it was a interesting revenge story, cool characters but unfortunately could have tackled racism in a way that enlightened the period USA lived but he tried so hard it was cringeworthy.
Now about the series splatter western. This is very small book with only 100 pages and it costs 15€. While previous were a bit cheaper. Another thing is the number on the spine. Where is it? This should be book 14 after Last Ravager but it seems it doesn't deserve one.
