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.

Sorry you don't like it. How far have you read?

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.

I'm about to read chapter twenty. I will finish it today. I'm hoping the ending makes it worth the read.

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.
