4.5

This book is amazingly written. The characters and the world they live in and how it affects them are the main point of this book. Do not expect a action-packed cowboy story. Its how a group of men go from Texas to Montana. Lorena Wood, July Johnson, and Augustus McCrae will forever stay in my mind as their arcs had me hooked from start to finish. The reason why I docked .5 from my rating is the pacing. The pacing SLOOW, especially in the first 60%.
