I enjoyed this book. I liked how a western novel had mystery and suspense, instead of an action/adventure aspect that might be expected. I enjoyed trying to solve the mystery alongside Ross and the others, even though my guesses ended up being wrong. The ending kind of confused me, as to villain roles in the whole matter, but it was still fun to watch it all fall into place.

Travis' character was unique for me. I know it sounds awful to say it, but I liked seeing the immense struggle he had to endure, with the exhaustion and pain. It's was different to see that for a main character, and I liked seeing such hardship for the main character to experience. His overall personality was an interesting combination to the struggles he experiences too, and it made it interesting to watch him handle the situations he was put in.

The message of the book was very good, too, and well conveyed. Never giving up or compromising your beliefs, even when it means enduring trials instead of having it easy or safe.
