On the frontier, death runs close at hand—so close, some say the dead linger on as echoes in family heirlooms.
Armed with her late father's guns, a sharp wit, and a quick pair of paws, the gunslinger known as 'Six Shooter' thought she had a bead on her way in the world. That is, until a routine bit of larceny drops her into the depths of some very unusual and dangerous schemes.
Power-mad lions, mind-bending rock, and whispers from her dead father these a bunny can handle.
Falling in love with the local sheriff, though...that's trouble!

Sixes Wild Manifest Destiny edition by Tempe O'Kun Shinigamigirl Yuki Kanashimi Literature Fiction eBooks
I know that once I start writing it's going to sound like I didn't like this book, but in honest it was okay. There were some interesting characters that were, for the most part, developed, and the plot moved about decently. With that said, I do have a lot to gripe about. Also, please don't continue reading unless you are okay with spoilers. I just jump in there and they flood out. My overall opinion is its an okay book. Not one that exemplifies itself as outstanding, but not a bad read either.To Future Readers: The pictures above the chapters are to tell you who's story you are about to read (who's perspective). That might help you if you don't pick-up on it right away.
Before I jump down below, I'll point out some personal distastes I've had with this book but they are very strictly opinions and I have to honor that. First of all, I'm kind of done with sex in novels, and I can't make that exception on this book. There is sex in this book, and it's quite well written, but I think sex in novels pulls you away from plots the same way that sex on TV shows can. Secondly, there are pictures randomly placed throughout the book which are nice, but for me I feel that those belong in children's books. Again, this is a personal opinion, but I thought I would plop that down here.
My only other thought is that while O'Kun does a great job mostly throughout the book of writing the scenes, it took me a while to figure out some parts. Like actions scenes in particular felt very blurry in my mind and harder to comprehend. I'll leave it at that.
---Spoiler alert---
For starters, I couldn't figure out who's manifest destiny the title is talking about? Is it supposed to be our heroine, Six? What does manifest destiny mean to her? Or maybe it's the lawbat, Jordan. Except he's not really doing that either. In all honesty, the only person in the book that has a "manifest destiny" is the villain. Really? I mean, I just feel like the title of the book should actually deal with the main character, especially when the name of the main character is in the title. Maybe that's just a personal opinion.
Another things I found annoying in this novel is that it plays on such a stereotypical westerner when the main idea is to forge a non-stereotypical version. Six is an outlaw, a quick shooter, the robin hood of the west (sorta), and a rabbit. But most importantly, Six is a woman in an otherwise manly role. So why is she so stupid all the damn time about her own sexuality? Like she had trouble with certain sexual ideas when the west was known for its sexual proclivity. And to me that made her personality play out very close to "beefed-up barbie plays outlaw" more than bad-ass of the west. I think this might have been O'Kun trying to give his character some realism, but to me it ruined her overall background.
Outside of that stereotype, and this one baffles me considering our writer is a westerner, but the setting is so typical western-desert. Please for a second go look at a map, the west is a VERY LARGE chunk of the United States, but for some reason we write all our novels and show all of our kids that a western setting should always be this desert or arid with shrubs sort of crap. Why not place this in the plains up north or somewhere in the rugged mountains? This sort of bugged me. (Think I'm lying about this idea, watch the HBO show Deadwood and then look up the actual town).
Again, these didn't ruin the story, but they are some food for thought.
---Super Spoiler Alert---
What did ruin the story was the lack of a proper ending. I feel like it was going in that direction, but the last couple of chapters made this feel like the first of many episodes. That's nice, but for the first book it still needs a PROPER ENDING. Seriously, the bad guy just goes off, the good guy just stays "good", and the main character miraculously (after exploding out of a mountain with her clothing all burnt off and her shoes gone and probably her whole body singed of her fur, not to mention arm dislocated and she somehow just had sex for the first time in her life and is probably tired) get's up, get's dressed, and walks out. Really? This is what made me go-back and rethink everything about the book... and made me rethink if there wasn't something more Tempe O'Kun could have done to make this ending feel better (besides obviously not ending it with an "on the next episode" cliff hanger).
So then I got to thinking what else is wrong. Well, for starters we don't know a damn thing about Six, still, after a whole damn novel. She's still this miraculous bunny that had a dad that did stuff. Cool. But where was she born, what made her turn outlaw, what drives her to keep going at it, why has she never felt love, why does she feel so attached to Jordan? To me, the more I asked, the less real she felt. She's just a wild bunny in a wild setting doing some wild stuff.
Beyond that, we get into this whole echoes thing, which is actually a REALLY COOL idea. Too bad it's never explained. We get this sort-of "Well, echoes are ghosts of the past and they live in rocks" and it moves on (that's a really bad paraphrase to get the point done). Why can't we expand on this? Why didn't Tempe O'Kun make the story more geared towards the echoes, towards maybe Six overcoming the power of them? More importantly, why do some furs hear them while other's don't? Really cool idea, but I wish Tempe would have taken it SO much further.
Even after all that, I still enjoyed reading this book. I just think the author needed to really redirect everything to really make it amazing.

Sixes Wild Manifest Destiny edition by Tempe O'Kun Shinigamigirl Yuki Kanashimi Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Tempo Lives up to his reputation. I've long been a follower of his writing, and I'm pleased to say that this furry novel has far exceeded all my expectations. I look forward for more.
Six is like a rabbit version of Clamity Jane. I think a romantic partner in Jordan is a nice touch.
Great story in the old west, really interesting characters and some seriously thrilling action. 5 stars and can't wait for the next one!
This is the first furry western I've read, and I must say, I am impressed. It is not an overly long book, but the characters are well developed, and the story is exciting. There are a couple of adult scenes, but it plays well in the story.
Great book. Things move enough things get done, and the scenes are played out in a way that you feel its all there!
But! It could have been warned that it does have erotica, even a full scene of sex in it. Not bad mind you but those thinking "just cute furries in western setting" Could be a little shocked when things like sheaths and such get talked about.
A long time ago (although not in galaxy far, far away) lived a certain person. One day this person was looking for his daily dose, that would feed his ever-growing addiction for stories starring rabbits (anthropomorphic or not).In one of the corners of Internet he found a fragments of western romantic story. After reading all that was available of this story, the pitiful addict knew he had to buy a whole thing. The time he spent on waiting for version of the story was a sheer torture, but eventually he obtained it and for days he lost himself in the world of gunslingers, sheriffs and scheming lions...
"Sixes Wild Manifest Destiny" is a simple story when you come down to it, but that's part of book's charm. When you have such a unique set of characters like Six (a thief and an outlaw with her own sense of morality), Blake (a sheriff who tends to do his job by the book) and Tanner Hayes (the rich lion with great ambition and no morals when it comes to accomplishing his goals) you don't need a complicated plot to make reading novel a fun experience. It's a good thing each chapter is preceded with a little image unique to every character, who gets his/her own Point Of View. Why is it good? Because everything is written in first person perspective, so without these little pictures it would be hard thing to figure out which character is speaking at the moment.
There are a few adult scenes spread around the novel (not surprising since this is partly - if not primarily - a romance), so if there is any reason you shouldn't read them then you've been warned. On the other hand, they are written very well, so you shouldn't have any problems with enjoying them. ;)
When it comes to Western part, it's evident that Tempe O'Kun had done his research on the setting of the post-Civil War frontier. Of course, myself not being an expert on those times, my opinion on the matter is probably of limited value. Still, it shows in the novel that author knows more than a few thing about western-themed sentence structure and expressions and so forth...
All in all, "Sixes Wild" is a fun book to read, if you like anthropomorphic animals, romance and/or stories set in the Postbellum West. If you do, then I recommend it to you. )
