Calling it a generational war against two families feels absolutely not right. It feels like it is a little to little. It's so much more. It's a sheriff using his power to actively make people's life a constant pain. It's a family constantly ruining others lives. In the worst way possible. It's showing your teeth against someone who wants to see you down on the ground.  
And standing your ground.

And it's wonderfully done. I loved this book. I loved Miles trying to figure out what to do, trying to find a right way to handle things even though the things which happened to Miles, which has been done to him is absolutely w r o n g. And I loved Lady. And Dallas. And I just love how friends find each other again even though they have been apart for a while. 
I really liked the complexity of the generational feud, the way you can find yourself somehow in Miles but also the characters around, that you're there with them.
