Una gran secuela de Appaloosa.
Si bien Resolution resulta menos emotiva que su predecesora, mantiene el sello de Parker con una narración ágil y diálogos afilados. La dinámica entre Virgil y Everett sigue siendo el corazón de la historia, con interacciones que entretienen y sorprenden gracias a los cambios y giros que se desarrollan, no solo respecto a la precuela, sino a lo largo de toda la trama.
Además, el libro introduce de manera sutil una reflexión sobre la moral, la justicia y la diferencia entre lo correcto y lo legal, sin caer en discursos redundantes ni forzados. Un western sólido y bien construido.
