Can we forget this vote every happened and actually pick a good book?
I'm still on the fence if this is a novel or a loosely connected series of short stories. |

I've read the whole series twice, so my memory of all the books tends to blur them altogether. It's the characters that hold the series together. I'll start a re-read of no. 1 after I finish Holmes on the Range. My thanks to whomever nominated HotR, I'm really enjoying it so far. |

For me, what really didn't work was all the back story stuff. Just tedious. |

Let's save the discussion of this novel for a bit? Though I will just say that it is unlike anything else I normally read, and yet I found it quite enchanting. Doing a re-read shortly, to see if I still agree.
