...All this is for the most part historical record. What makes this story a story is the personal experience of the main characters. ...The book is quite a delightful read. Mildred and Jesse are engaging protagonists, if, as I mentioned, Doc Holliday is a bit thinner. The fantastical element is modest but well-integrated and well portrayed. ...attempts to recast the events leading up to the gunfight at the O.K. Corral as a psychic battle between good and evil sorcerers....Talky, often impenetrable, and so what? An indigestible concoction that’ll stick in most folks’ craws. ...this solid if anticlimactic fantasy-western crossbreed may enchant and frustrate fans in both genre camps about equally. Territory is, at its heart, a character, rather than action, driven novel, told from Jesse, Mildred and Doc's points of view, in alternating chapters. ... The bond that develops between them [Jesse & Mildred] is equal parts humorous and sweet, and never once falls flat....Readers coming in expecting a straight-forward telling of the O. K. Corral story with a helping of magic on the side will likely be disappointed. Territory is more subtle than that. Prix et récompenses
