I'm a fan of DM Mitchell's but I'm glad I didn't start off with this book - you will still find brilliant writing, but you'll have to suffer through dense, incomprehensible sections. Another reviewer pointed out that the Indians and Cowboys went on too long. I agree. Also, there was too much back and forth between various characters which made it very confusing.The story has the potential to be very good - this is DM Mitchell, after all. But the book needs a good structural edit.Do yourself a favour, folks. Read his 'Mouse' and 'Flinder's Field'. Amazing books, both.
