Customer Reviews

One of the best books I have ever read

As a history major, i spend a lot of my time trying to find decent historical fiction that I can read and tell other people about. I love this book. When I first read The Clan of The Cave Bear when i was 10, i thought that no book could be better than that. Joan Wolf's books (all of the historical fiction ones) are almost as good. I first read Daughter of the Red Deer when iwas 13 and loved it and since then have been looking for anything theat she has written. The Horsemasters is by far my favourite. The characters are so vivid and how can you not love Nel and Ronan? I highly recommend it and any of Joan Wolf's other books to anyone that is interested in Pre-historical novels. there just aren't enough out there, but these are keepers.

WOW!!! This changes my life!

Oh my gash!!! This is the most amazing prehistoric novel ever. I learned so much about the goings on of Cro-Magnon Magdellenians by reading this book. In fact I wrote a ten page research essay based off of information i learned in this book.... It also has a thrilling plot and lusty scenes that made rainy afternoons a little more exciting for me....If you are looking for adventure and romance mixed with deer skin and skull cups then don't miss the Horsemasters...scourge of the world!!!!

Horsemasters

Excellent book, excellent reading, excellent story. Wonderful continuation of "Daughter of the Red Deer"! This lady can write! Very thoroughly researched! If this is the 2nd in a trilogy, is the 3rd out yet?, & if so, what is the title?

Hidden gem of a story & part of a compelling series!

Before reading this series of books (this book is #2 in a series of 3), I had never read any fiction dealing with pre-history. It was wonderful. Joan Wolf's use of description and imagery is simplistic yet so satisfying during the reading of the tale. It is a wonderful story of love and adventure.
