Well, that sucked. For the first six chapters or so, it looked like this was going to be a coming of age story with a happy ending, even if the happy event was 100% illegal.
Nope.
Our Protagonist learns that life sucks, then you die. And that his family lied to him all of his life. The last half of the book is littered with dead horses.
Well, at least horse lovers won't have to worry about the plight of the Mustangs for much longer. Trump said he's going to have them all killed.
The only thing good was the cover, done by Ted Lewin. But even Lewin couldn't be bothered reading this crap, since he neglected to give the black stallion a blaze and stockings.
