relaxing

4.0

It's honestly weird how soothing this book is, because the actual content is not relaxing at all. But McMurty is a master of vibes and every time you pick up this book it feels like sinking into the couch and putting on a blanket. Which is ironic because life is anything but comfortable in these days of the old west. This is a book that you are grateful is very long because you just enjoy the journey so much, I didn't even particularly care too much about the plot I just enjoyed the vibes so much. It was disappointing when I finally got to the end, especially as the end wasn't very satisfying from a plot tying up perspective, but happy to see that there are sequels so I can delve again into this world.

Things I liked:
- the description of the west, the illustration of the geography and the ecology 
- Augustus McCrae, most of the time
- the payoff of all the stories intersecting
- Clara and her whole setup in Nebraska
- the rivers

Things I did not like:
- 960 pages of coarse masculinity with little to no growth 
- my own stubbornness to finish this book
