I don't really read westerns so from that aspect, this was an interesting way to mix it up a bit. I will say the characters weren't the best developed, especially Butterfly who was the last interesting character.

I did like that even though this was part of a series I believe, it worked well as a standalone. There werent pages and pages of how people were connected and previous events were mentioned without a lot of exposition. Just a sentence and then move on. 

I don't really read westerns as I said so I can't say that this is a good example of the genre. It was a decent story though and I don't regret reading it.
