Status Updates From The Thirteenth Koyote

The End eluded me tonight. Time flies when one is absorbed in the story of the "End of Days". Plan to finish tomorrow morning. Hopefully. Tonight reminded me of a cardinal rule reading Triana: Don't allow yourself to get fond of any of the characters.

Wow! Finally made some progress. This is at its most basic level an Old West epic of Good vs. Evil. I have gotten "lost" in it every time I resume reading. Triana is up to the task of creating characters that are flawed yet valiant crusaders for ridding their home, if not the world, of a contagion so malevalent that it would destroy innocence and cover the land with a blanket of blackness and everlasting evil.

The first fifth of the book has been fascinating and sort of reads itself. I love anything Triana writes but I am fond of a good Splatterpunk Western periodically. This one impresses me as exceptionally exciting with "Koyotes" (half man and all vicious carnivorous carnage arising from the half that is wolfen). There is a lot to absorb in these early pages and I am more drawn to the storyline than expected.

Slow progress but at least on the way to getting involved with the fascinating characters and complex plotline.
