I have always been curious about what a peyote vision trip would be like.
I can't believe Walt didn't react more to that last-second news.
This was a great one for the further evolution of Henry as a character, even though I always wanted more.
The reservation was the main setting, and the mystery was a bit convoluted.
A good one for showing that we all have craziness going on in our lives, but when someone takes a chance on us, it can make a big difference.

It was great to see Walt deal with a case that devoted more time to tribal spiritualism and to have a different tone for this book. While I missed many regular ancillary characters, this was a great internal look into what Walt stands for.

I liked the way the different narrative groups came together and conveyed in a way that didn't make it feel contrived, just in an 'It really is a small world' kind of way.
