Helpful Score: 1
Well...I'm mostly dissatisfied, although I didn't actually hate it. It felt very cartoon-ish, like the Scooby Gang was just around the corner. I thought the two different plots didn't mesh very well (c'mon, Bitcoin mining is helpful to the environment? because capped gas wells?), and I don't see why Missy had to be there except to satisfy the fans. The scenery descriptions are always good and the snowstorm bits were excellent, Box always does that very well. No horses died this time. I can see that, given where he lives and works, Joe Pickett is going to increasingly come into contact with insurrectionists, and there's an awful lot of plots (pun intended) that can come out of that. But I don't love how Box continues to work in every time how government people are always stupid, incompetent, or involved in massive conspiracies to take over the West. And...well, unfortunately I have a lot of minor gripes, and not many likes this time. I own the whole series except this one, but I was disappointed in the last book too, and now Box is a library read for me. That is, if I even bother - I'll read some reviews before I try another.
