thatlibrarynerd's review against another edition
1.0
I love a good story of identity found and redemption earned.
This was not one.
This was boring and drab, plodding along like an outline most of the time. Few scenes were actually shown, and those that were lacked dramatic tension. The characters existed primarily as single traits personified. The only thing going for this book is its plot, and even that meanders and wraps up far too quickly.
The one thing I enjoyed about this book was a glimpse of a different culture (shotgun weddings, firearms all over, towns where everyone knows everyone) but even this felt more like pellets of information. What could have been an evocative setting was, instead, bland and underused.
