An author I read years ago, with another little series... remembered liking them very much and was intrigued by the idea of a fantasy novel of the American West.... I'll let you know...

Alrighty then.... a very different sort of fantasy... fun reading about the old west along with the Sidhe and Mexican bits of fairy. Enjoyable read with a delightful ending. Five out of five for this one Ms. Snyder!
Patricia
A fantasy/faerie story that takes place in the Old West - don't see many of those!
Kendra
A rather interesting fantasy and western combination. Young man's mother dies and he finds out he's half Fae. Both parents have a geas against telling him this, so he never knew and now he's being hunted. A rather fast-paced, interesting read!
Brent
Snyder does an incredible job of combining Celtic, American Indian, and Mexican myths and cultures in this fantasy western. The narrative complexity Snyder displays in The Innamorati is missing, which might not be as noticeable if the pacing was more even. Those are only minor complaints, though, and this is a fun novel from a talented and highly imaginative author.
Elisabeth
A great fusion of the historical west and fairy tale fantasy. I could tell it was one of the author's earlier books, though--it was a pretty linear, uncomplicated plot and I wanted a little bit more than I got. We'll see how her next book, The Innamorati, compares.
Megan
I'm pretty sure that this is the only western/fantasy I've ever read, and I really like the way it blended.
