No

Yes
Story did not fulfill its promise.
Book starts well, sets up to be a bit philosophical and a bit of a morality play in a Western genre.
I was into the first half of the book but then it turns really dark and very brutal. Violence that leans into horror. And the plot doesn't resolve so much as expire. I didn't get any great payoff for subjecting myself to so much grotesque brutality. I just feel drained.
Points for writing style and storytelling.
