Wowza, I finally finished this massive novel! Coming in at a whopping 1232 pages, it certainly gives War and Peace a run for its money! It took me a long minute to finish it, but I can't say I didn't enjoy it. If you’re wondering whether I was invested in the story... yes. But could it have been consolidated a bit? I hate to admit it, but absolutely๐ซฃ...
I truly admire the author for pouring so much of himself into this saga, and I absolutely fell in love with the characters and setting. The story itself was also full of heart. It was an epic journey, and had several twists and turns. I cherished the close bonds formed over time and the deeper meaning woven into the narrative. That said, all of this could've been conveyed in fewer pages. Nonetheless, if you're a fan of westerns and coming-of-age stories, this might just be your ticket!
Many thanks to @aaknopf & @pantheonbooks for this #gifted review copy!
