A man with a gun chases a necromancer across the desert looking for revenge. The thing is, the necromancer is immortal. For me, that's the whole book. I did not find the plot to be interesting. I did not care for the scenario/people descriptions, which it's what the book really is about. I did not like the main character history.

The author's style is one of showing many things that could be interesting, but they're not. At one point, the gunslinger finds a city in the desert. He suspects it's a trap from the necromancer. It is. Then he continues. This event takes many pages in the book, and it felt utterly pointless, as all of the other events did. But again, it's not about the meaning, its about the scenario/people.
