It took me ages to actually get invested into “Riders of the Purple Sage”, but I’m glad that I stuck through to the end. It’s a thrilling tale, filled with a ton of action and romance. I’ve seen many people comment on the romance, saying that’s the primary genre and not it being a western, but I’d say that the two go hand in hand here. The basic story is a romance, but it’s most definitely a western in every sense of the word. Grey’s writing style took a while to get into; it’s easy to read, but it’s a bit bulky and clunky at times. Despite that, he was able to craft some captivating characters, along with creating some landscapes that I now will have burned into my memory. I really enjoyed this novel, I just had to take a lot of time to find my footing with the novel.
