Abercombie's take on a western delivers in my favorite standalone yet, filled with tense scenes, great characters, and an enjoyable plot that sets the progressing world against a backdrop you're familiar with from other First Law books. Characters are predictably excellent, and the dialogue sparkles. Gritty, dirty, and fun from start to finish.
