The Orchard Keeper

Not exactly my favorite Cormac, but still a treat to read. About half of the book is sort of non-plot... stuff. I would call it a heavy vibes book. What plot exists is heavily weighted at the start and end.

There were a few things that happened that I thought didn't go anywhere. One of these, on a double check, I realized I had just lost the thread. Some of the others really don't go anywhere and are more about establishing the feel of the characters.

I continue to really love the dialogue that Cormac writes. At no point, EVER, do I bump against a character speaking. It never feels out of true.
