My Thoughts
The Western Light trilogy series by Mary Connealy has been fabulous. Each book may be read as a standalone, however, the experience is so much richer when you immerse yourself in this western drama from the outset. It has a little bit of something for everybody and it was wonderful to finish the tale that started out on the wagon trail ‘Chasing the Horizon’ (book 1) and now concluded with ‘Into the Sunset’ (book 3)
I enjoyed returning to the ‘wild west’ to see through the tale that had begun on the wagon trail. Everything from catching up with much loved characters such as Beth and Jake, to a new romance developing between Maeve and Dakota. Yet, this story was so much more than just a romance. The challenges of starting a new life and even with towns developing, it was still a far cry from city living.
The main focus of the story was seeing through what had begun in book one with Ginny having to prove her sanity in a court of law to be free from her controlling and manipulative husband. The whole issue of husbands having the lawful right to put their wives into asylums (in some states) was confronting.
Into the Sunset was an engaging story and a fitting conclusion to my time spent in the Western frontier of America. Action and danger, courage and compassion this is a series that is sure to appeal to many.
‘They’d traveled and they’d settled. They married and started families. And now, finally, they’d all followed the western light into the sunset. That light had led them all the way home.’
