blevins 's review for:

Far Bright Star by Robert Olmstead

3.0

---

Literate western that reminds a bit of Cormac world of lots of violence, descriptions of nature and horses, terse dialogue between men undergoing extreme tests of character as their lives are threatened by people who wish them ill. Sounds like Cormac doesn't it? This is a short novel that kind of loses its steam toward the end unfortunately. Still, few westerns w/ literary leanings so worth checking out if Cormac is your thing.
