Mini-Series Finale. Ryder challenges Death and it accepts, but is she ready to lose what's at stake if her aim is not steady and true? Will the life she's led inform the death she wants... or deserves?
Ain't No Grace concludes by swinging big, making beautifully bold, daring and creative choices, and I respect the hell out of it. It stands as a masterful conclusion to an unforgettable journey. It skillfully wraps up Ryder's poignant struggle against death with emotional depth and stunning visual artistry. A must-read for anyone looking for a story that combines raw action with rich, thematic storytelling. Read Full Review

Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross came-up with the five stages of grief. Then she said that not everyone goes through them in order. And not everyone goes through all of them necessarily. And...well...its really just a vague model that people can take comfort in, but its not a bad outline for a cleverly non-traditional cowboy western horror-fantasy. Theres been real poetry in the series as it has made its way to its own inevitable conclusion. Its a very sharp sort of an allegory that looks at the deeper horror at the heart of every good-guy cowboy story. Read Full Review
