An interesting conclusion to the Border Trilogy, with all the elements a reader would expect from Cormac. The laconic writing, the dialogue written with such care and truth, and the exquisite pain that underlies all of life.

What I like about Cormac's writing is that it understands that life's joys and pleasures are only found in adjacency to life's sorrow and pain.
