I gave this story a chance when I saw it on New Releases while I still had a backlog of stories to read. Since then it became one of the main stories I follow. The pacing is magnificent, the characters behave like real people and the plot is clear cut from the beginning.

The novel shines with the character interactions. From combat quips and standoffs to conversations and negotiations the characters behave like real people. Not just forced plot convenience. The author has deemed it to have every character to be fleshed out of the main and supporting cast. As can be further seen from the chapter titles. Their mannerisms and personalities are shown without creating info dumps to describe them.

The plot revolves around a handful of coins representing the people he is hunting down. Having wronged him the story sets this up rather early on. The end goal. The pacing has not been forced to speed through sections and flows naturally from one to another.

My only complaint would be the convo's with the Starman being a bit too long. Although that might have just been trying to read in the middle of the night while half asleep on my part.

If you like a good western themed story, this is a great one to keep you entertained.
