I enjoyed the setting of this book; I feel there's not a lot of fantasy set in what feels like the wild west. It was also refreshing to have a book that wasn't too long. The first 75% of the book had me gripped; it meandered a little towards the end, but as it is the first in a series, I presume that will be explained in subsequent books. Definitely will be reading the next but not immediately reaching for it.
