I feared the outcome of honest speech—that it might reach forward in time and arrange events to come.
Characters I cared about, beautiful writing and interesting themes.

As someone who appreciates spirituality as an agnostic from a catholic background this book represents everything I want religion to be while creating a compelling narrative of morality, law, and family, if you love westerns, with a side of subtle magic this is perfect.
Moderate: Blood, Chronic illness, Death, and Gun violence

I did struggle to get into this book. I didn't think it'd break a 4⭐️ rating for me. For one, having the theme of religious faith be so central to the plot was initially a challenge — I needed more explanation for certain things — but just like real-life faith: you can't really explain it, you have to accept and go with it. So that's what I did.
For most of the way, I remained intrigued, wanting to find out how the events unfolded, and, ultimately, the story, the protagonist's narrative voice, and the writing were absolutely beautiful.
