I'm not a Western person, despite it being a well loved genre in the homes I spent my time in growing up. I have been seeing so much buzz about this book though, that I had to request it, and I'm glad I did.
I really love the spin on the Old West that Zachary Rosenberg has given us, highlighting the voices that were notably absent from the genre in the past. The gore and bloodshed were plentiful, there was heartbreak and triumph, and the setting was interesting. The characters were likeable and it was easy to fall into their shoes and cheer for them as events unfolded as well.
Honestly I think my only complaint is that it was so short! I could easily read more about the adventures of Esther and Siobhan. I'm looking forward to reading more from this author in the future!
