I enjoyed the characters, though feel the pacing and plot/character development were all uneven throughout the book. Not my favorite example of a split narrative or bifrucated chapter approach. Interesting history of race and class division in South Texas/Northern Mexico which was bolstered by the eras it was set, though could have incorporated more history into the story to make it more robust.
