Reading a series out of order does make you lose out on the characters growth and I think sometimes you miss out on some of the finer points the author doesn't include in every book.Mason Canyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935307400882363560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-17767679262167159672013-07-17T10:42:03.895-04:002013-07-17T10:42:03.895-04:00Carol, I just the opposite.

He definitely places the reader in the middle of his scenes.

I'm very glad you enjoyed this novel. To me, Johnson is so skilled at depicting the land and environment. Besides that, I really do like the friendship between Longmire and Henry Standing Bear. It's a great relationship and I think Johnson develops the characters effectively. Thanks for reminding me of this one. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
