Customer Reviews

Good, but not the best of the series...

Okay, I liked this book, but not as much as the first three in the "The First American" series. I'll start with the bad first.What I didn't like was the seeming inability of Manaravak (one of Torka's sons) to come to grips with who and what he actually is. Because of this, he made mistakes that cost his people dearly. I also didn't like the actions of one of the young women in the tribe, and the fact that she was able to get away with things for so long. And while her actions did add to the tension in the story, I had hoped for a different resolution.Also, a couple of scenes require a stretch of your imagination to believe that such a thing could happen. That I didn't like because it almost transformed the book from an historical adventure to something bordering on fantasy. But since it was a small part, it didn't do much damage.Now on to what I did like. For one thing, the pace was good. Events moved along at a pretty fast clip that left little room for boredom. And the setting and action was described with sufficient detail to give you a clear picture of what's going on.The book read like a true adventure story -- there was always something happening that usually involved danger and required a struggle and courage. The plot was also pretty good. I would recommend this book to all readers, and especially to those who've started on the series. It is a good book and it's still interesting to see how these characters lives are still being shaped.

THE BEST ONE SINCE TORKA!

This was one of the best stories since the very 1st one. She is a master storyteller in this one, a must read!

Fabulous!

I have read the entire series. I was hooked by the end of book one and now that I've finished them all I don't know what to do with myself! I have become part of the family. I think the writing is outstanding and the characters extremely intriguing. You can't help but feel their pains and joys right along with them. Mr. Sarabande's books are a delight to get lost in.
