Five Stars for Truly Excellent Historical Fiction
Revisado: 10-12-22
I like that the author so thoroughly researched the history and culture, and truly captured the essence of life on the high plains of western Kansas. I also appreciate that the narrator worked hard to create accents and bring out specific nuances in each character’s voice, because there were so many different ones necessary to do the story justice. I recommend this book to everyone who loves stories set in the old West, and especially those who are interested in historical fiction. I chose these ratings because the book itself was absolutely worth 5 stars on its own, and then listening to the characters come to life in the audiobook exactly as I had imagined, made me feel like I was right there with them. Ultimately, it gets 5 stars overall for its ability to make the reader stop and think along the way. Is it really about a county seat fight, or is there more to the story? You’ll have to listen and answer that for yourself.
