It’s a shame, because the novel is a buildup to the Battle
of Adobe Walls, where the southern plains tribes went to war with the buffalo
hunters. The pacing is interesting, with
one chapter following one of the buffalo hunters, the next following Quannah
Parker gathering tribes to his side. It
should be good, but every time I got invested in one set of characters we were
off to the next, and I struggled to care with the shift. Tom Clancy did something like this in his
amazing Cardinal of the Kremlin, where you got down to the nail biting last
chapter not knowing which point of reference character will survive. Here I couldn’t care. Go read Glorious! It was fantastic.
