(It barely squeaked over being a 2 ⭐️.)
This was a story about settlers/pioneers meddling with indigenous people and the consequences on both sides. I liked how Zane didn‘t try and make it seem like either side was evil or virtuous. His characters mostly acknowledged that the white invaders were the cause of most of the problems. I didn‘t like the constant fainting of females or the attitude that Christianity was going to save the “savages”.

I absolutely fell in love with Rye, such an unassuming badass. Westerns catch a lot of undeserved criticism for being gun worshipping propaganda. This story follows the reluctant gunman, Ryan Tyler, as he navigates growing up as an orphan in the dangerous Old West. He fights to hold onto the morals instilled in him by his late parents, even when faced with the ultimate betrayal.

Book 1 of #JuneontheRange2024.
