Emma Bull is one of my favorite authors, a pioneer in Urban Fantasy. I loved this book, as I expected to, despite the fact that it's a western, which I'm not really into.

This one is based on the events in Tombstone, AZ when Wyatt Earp was there. It deals with everything leading up to the shoot-out at the OK Corral. Which, honestly, is the only thing that bothers me about it - the book feels like it ends 50 pages too early. The plot resolution is assumed to be common knowledge because everyone knows what happens to the Earps after that.

I think if you're reimagining history and putting sorcerers in the wild west, it's worth recasting the whole mess. Also, there seems to be a lot of POV switches (all very well done) so if that's a pet peeve for you, FYI. I still enjoyed the book greatly, and will probably re-read once or twice before lending or selling it.
