This was a really wonderful entry point into the western genre that had me feeling all sorts of feelings beginning to end. We follow two brothers, Charlie and Eli Sisters, two hired hands working for "The Commodore", as they hunt down a target they have been paid to kill. But leading up to that, they get into all sorts of antics, explore love, self image, and the complicated relationship between two adult brothers who have probably spent too much time together.

I'd say the pacing of this story is typical for the genre. We know where the narrative needs go, but the bulk of the book is made up of the interesting things they get up to along the way. I did find the end of the book to be a tad drawn out, but because I liked the characters so much, I didn't mind it. All of the characters were distinct and interesting, if not a tad one-note (with the exception of our main protagonist Eli who was charming and complex). I found the period specific dialogue to be very well executed; authentic yet accessible.

I've been wanting to dive into westerns for a while now, and I'm so glad I picked this up to start as it's really piqued my interest!
