If you're thinking to yourself "I like Rish's work but I'm not sure if I'd be into a western", don't let the cowboy hat scare you away. That was my mindset when looking into this series and I enjoyed it. If you're a fan of Rish's writing, particularly the earnestness in which he portrays younger characters, then this is right up your alley. This is a coming of age story first in my mind and a western second.<br /><br />The supernatural elements we've often seen from Rish are traded here for a sense of adventure instead. But the scenarios here aren't the typical over dramatic fare where the hero always executes the plan perfectly with steely precision. The characters and situations feel real, how you would expect real people would react to realistic circumstances. This makes it easier to relate to the characters while also upping the stakes with realistic consequences.<br /><br />If you haven't already you can check out the first part of the story, Birth of a Sidekick, and see if this series is for you. If you like that then you'll really want to check out A Sidekick's Journey, as it improves on the original, at least in my opinion. But that might be just because there's just more of it this time around.AspiRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14575769799968747455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4814364879303253491.post-82275436029738822832016-08-29T23:53:34.306-06:002016-08-29T23:53:34.306-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.AspiRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14575769799968747455noreply@blogger.com
