Really good genre-twisting books only come along once in a great while. Noose Jumpers is one of those books. It injects the idea that in the old west, Gods that can interact with, and influence, humans. Three young gunslingers are trying to make a name for themselves, i,e. become legends. To aid in their quest, each has a demigod that follows them around and alters fate in the gunslinger’s favor. This twist turns the genre on its head, and makes for a fantastic listen. I enjoyed every minute of it. It begs the question of what if magic were introduced to the Wild West? How would it affect the genre? It’s a fascinating concept.
This is the first book in a proposed series. I can’t wait for the next book.
Andrew tell did an amazing job narrating this title. The three main male characters were the same age and Mr. Tell skillfully created completely different voices for each of them. His skill at narration made the tale a true joy to listen to.
This audio book was gifted to me by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review.
