Review: Give the story time to develop.

I did not like the start.  I thought it was going to just be a gratuitous shoot'em up and was about to cut my loses and move on to another book. I guess the author was trying to make a point about the main character and about the evil of vengeance and that is why he started the book this way. I am not afraid to read of violence and evil found in westerns, but there must be a purpose, it must be written as needed for the story to develop and should not be excessive.  Get the facts out and move on.  I gave it a little more time and glad I did.  As I continued to read I got more and more interested into the characters and the plot and found myself finding more time to finish the book off. It became a swifter read once I tried to figure out the real story just "Jace" was trying to figure out what the facts were.  I won't give away the ending, but there are many layers of good, evil, deeds, assumptions that it is easy for the reader to get thrown off.  So don't make any assumptions, deal with the story as it is revealed and I think you will find it a good Western book to read.  After all that is why I read westerns....for entertainment.  If that is your motivation also then I recommend you try the Devil's Justice.
