I’ve done a good number of shorter westerns and have fallen in love with the time period. So naturally, Lonesome Done, but actually Dead Man’s Walk, came my way. I ended up spending the next 4 weeks legit flying through Dead Man’s Walk, Comanche Moon, Lonesome Dove, and Streets of Laredo.
I am so glad I read them in chronological order instead of published order. I’ve read many reviews arguing one or the other but I’ll say this, no spoilers. The emotions I felt at the end of Lonesome Dove was multiplied because I fell in love with the characters so much as I watched them grow through the stories in the first two books. I felt like I was watching entire lifespans happen in front of my eyes.
Curious if anyone’s felt different. Also, I thought Comanche moon was rushed at the end and Laredo was my least fave.
