The start was slow for me - I just did not care what happened to the guns. But then it picked up and I really loved it. The end seemed like a lot of action for this story - and I didn’t feel that it was needed. I guess it did allow for a nice moment between father and son, but still seemed unnecessary. Overall, after the first bit, I found this story very compelling and was drawn into this world.
