I'm not usually a fan of Westerns but I couldn't put this book down. Right away, I was surprised that the narrator tells the story in a Western/cowboy dialect but it grew on me quickly and helped set the scene. There were several times the book managed to surprise me and keep me guessing which I appreciated. I also found myself liking most of the main characters and cared about what happened to them. The romance is also present but doesn't overtake the story and it's a nice slow buildup rather than instant love which I'm not fond of. I couldn't put this book down and I'd definitely recommend it even if you're not a big fan of historical fiction or Westerns.
Moderate: Death of parent, Murder, Gun violence, and Death
