beautifully written novel that i got about halfway through with the audiobook until i picked up a copy. took me a while to finish it but i am so glad i persevered. i love character driven novels and this books has such a wide range of characters and the writing flows so nicely from one perspective to the other that it’s hard to put it down. and god how i love a morally gray, realistic, verging on pessimistic, portrayal of the hardships that come and go in life. it was a grief ridden and death stricken time to be alive in the wild west. it surely is about the journey, and not the destination.

“it’s a fine world, though rich in hardships at times”

Best book I've ever read

4.0

Gran novela, con personajes que enganchan y bien desarrollados y una trama de apariencia simple pero de gran profundidad y que te atrapa con una combinación de realismo, épica y tragedia.

Me costó un tanto arrancar pero una vez que conectas con los personajes, la novela fluye y las páginas se devoran.
