I have some mixed feelings on this book. The story is very good, a suitably dramatic and epic western, with a man who has been looking for his kidnapped younger sister for many years, a Mormon woman oppressed by her brethren, rustlers, gunfights, romance, horse chases...
However, the writing didn't always work for me. It's just too wordy. The author never says something in ten words if he can say it in one hundred. The longish descriptions of the sage plains will be evocative for some readers, but they tired me out, and I would skip whole paragraphs. Same with the characters' feelings, which are described sometimes in a too exuberant manner.
