As a new reader to the Western genre, my initial concern was how a Western book's pacing would come off. One of the most important things to me, as a reader, is pacing. Galloway pulls off the pacing beautifully. The characters are interesting, relatable, and leave an impact after the book. While reading this, it was very easy for me to visualize, as if I were watching it on the big screen, and that is why I will continue to follow the author. Great read, pick up this series.
