I think Westerns are probably my most problematic favorite because of the portrayal of American Indians in most but I did like how Carson didn't shy away from the ugly parts of western expansion here. (And I'm still waiting on Debbie Reese's review on her blog to see her native perspective.) I wasn't a big fan of Carson's first trilogy but gosh I do love this book! <br /><br />In terms of older Westerns, might I also recommend that you watch How the West Was Won or Stagecoach ASAP?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335649676143335614.post-78972769379551262842015-09-18T07:18:02.516-04:002015-09-18T07:18:02.516-04:00YAAAAAS. I've been planning on reading this so...YAAAAAS. I've been planning on reading this soon (alas I have only read 1 book this month since we got Finn lol) and I'm SOOOO happy to see you loved this one! I'm just so intrigued by the Wild West setting. I meant to read Vengeance Road at this point already too but obviously my little unintended reading vacation didn't make that happen. Do you suggest spreading those two reads out?? I heard someone say that reading VR and this one close together is not a good idea. I JUST WANT ALL THE WILD WILD WEST.
