Cities of the Plain by Cormac McCarthy

dark emotional reflective sad fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Enjoyed this one more than I thought. Reads more in the vein of all the pretty horses. While nowhere near as good as the crossing it still has the McCarthy signature prose and sadness which I have come to love. I felt satisfied with how it all ended, but some things I had questions about especially at the end. Overall I enjoyed this trilogy and will miss the characters.
