A very early sample of the Western genre, with all the cliches that appear over and over. The writing is purple. Much of the narrative takes place by describing the looks in characters' eyes, which is ridiculous. Like (I just made this up, but it's the kind of thing that's all over the book(, "She could see in his eyes his steady resolve and fearlessness and also that he knew that Hayden knew that he knew Hayden had killed Morgan and wouldn't hesitate to kill again."

The story had so many loose ends and random characters and conflicting objectives it just got silly.
