Narration During Books Territory

Wyatt Earp. Doc Holliday. Ike Clanton.
 
You think you know the story. You don't.
 
Tombstone, Arizona in 1881 is the site of one of the richest mineral strikes in American history, where veins of silver run like ley lines under the earth, a network of power that belongs to anyone who knows how to claim and defend it.

Above the ground, power is also about allegiances. A magician can drain his friends' strength to strengthen himself, and can place them between him and danger. The one with the most friends stands to win the territory.

Jesse Fox left his Eastern college education to travel West, where he's made some decidedly odd friends, like the physician Chow Lung, who insists that Jesse has a talent for magic. In Tombstone, Jesse meets the tubercular Doc Holliday, whose inner magic is as suppressed as his own, but whose power is enough to attract the sorcerous attention of Wyatt Earp.
 
Mildred Benjamin is a young widow making her living as a newspaper typesetter, and--unbeknownst to the other ladies of Tombstone--selling tales of Western derring-do to the magazines back East. Like Jesse, Mildred has episodes of seeing things that can't possibly be there.
 
When a failed stage holdup results in two dead, Tombstone explodes with speculation about who attempted the robbery. The truth could destroy Earp's plans for wealth and glory, and he'll do anything to bury it. Meanwhile, outlaw leader John Ringo wants the same turf as Earp. Each courts Jesse as an ally, and tries to isolate him by endangering his friends, as they struggle for magical dominance of the territory.

Events are building toward the shootout of which you may have heard. But you haven't heard the whole, secret story until you've read Emma Bull's unique take on an American legend, in which absolutely nothing is as it seems...

Article Containing Books Territory

If I hadn't read this recommendation from a blogger I trust, I'd surely have scoffed at the premise. Set in Tombstone, Arizona, when the Earps and Clantons are inexorably heading toward that famous showdown at the OK Corral, Emma Bull tosses in some sorcery into the mix as an underlying source of tension. Told from the point of view of typesetter Mildred Benjamin and drifter Jesse Fox, this story puts a new twist on the Western genre. As odd as the combination of Western and magic sounds, Bull

This book was on the staff picks at my local independent bookstore, so I picked it up. I enjoyed the setting, and the very subtle use of magic. I thought that the characters etc. didn't really warm up for me, until the very end. I was hoping for a stand alone, and it looks like there will be some sort of continuation. However, I will try the second one to see if the characters continue to grow on me.

Emma Bull is one of my favorite authors, a pioneer in Urban Fantasy. I loved this book, as I expected to, despite the fact that it's a western, which I'm not really into.This one is based on the events in Tombstone, AZ when Wyatt Earp was there. It deals with everything leading up to the shoot-out at the OK Corral. Which, honestly, is the only thing that bothers me about it - the book feels like it ends 50 pages too early. The plot resolution is assumed to be common knowledge because everyone

There's a lot to like in this, I think: the characters are mostly well-drawn, the magic is subtle and interesting, the writing carries Emma Bull's usual warm elegance. But I found myself meticulously overlooking a certain carelessness of storytelling and struggling particularly hard at times to slot Bull's version of the Earps into what I know of them. All that work made the book a lot less enjoyable to read.Bull picks up the thread of her story, weaves an engaging yarn, and then

Territory is a slice of life western set in the small town of Tombstone, Arizona. It follows three characters: Jesse Fox, the mysterious newcomer, Mildred Benjamin, a newspaper typesetter, widow, and aspiring writer, and Doc Holliday, the town dentist suffering from tuberculosis. The main plot is supposed to be about the mystery surrounding a failed robbery, but there's a good deal of...basically everything else instead. Far more daily life than gunslinging.Which would suit me just fine, but

This sounded like it would be a kind of "Harry Potter meets the wild west" and I thought that would be an interesting approach to magic. It turned out to be both more and less than I expected.There was magic, but it was very understated as a part of the story. In fact, you aren't quite sure if magic is happening or not for a good part of the book. The way the author, Emma Bull works the magic in is very, VERY subtle and she almost seems to want the reader to guess what the heck is going on in

This is a very good book, almost rating five stars from me. Bull not only provides a good grounding in the events that led up to the Gunfight at the OK Corral (though the novel ends prior to that) but does interesting things with magic. It has enough grounding to feel organic and she does interesting things with it, particularly with regards to earth magic.It uses three primary POV characters and does so to good effect. Two of them are fictional and the main protagonists. Jesse Fox is a
