A great western, interesting characters and sharp dialogue. This was a rare audiobook listen for me and the expository writing was often lacking, lots of "[character] said" and Maddie Ross saying "My thought was..." almost every time she had a thought but those are mere quibbles about a strongly written and engaging story
