While it’s a slow paced narrative, that’s the nature of a good western, so wasn’t a drawback to this read for me. Perhaps faster pace than some westerns, but I don’t agree with the claim of “fast-paced” on the back cover.
Taking place in mostly Texas at the turn of the 20th century, themes of violence in the changing West, corruption, morals and values, and simply how to survive all take a turn. There’s even some love thrown in for good measure. Solid debut and a solid western!
