Random reader wrote: 08 Oct 2018, 03:35 I love how you summarized the book and the quotes go well with it. Although so many sub-topics seems to be confusing, if the author has managed to tie them all together in a neatly executed storyline, then this must be an enjoyable read. Thanks for the review.
Thanks Random reader. The subplots are actually linked to the main plot, ensuring the reader does not loose sight of the storyline. The book is enjoyable.

I appreciate your stopping by and leaving a comment.

Yes Sahani, the events are well balanced. You never once lose sight of the main plot. Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. Much appreciated!

Thank you for the interesting review. Based on your details about the story this is likely something that I would read.

I like books with Native American characters and mysticism. I have always been drawn to their legends and storytelling prowess. Many times it is very easy to follow the rationale behind the stories handed down from ancestor to ancestor.

I'll likey read this book based on your review of it.

Wow, this review reads like how I expect an excerpt from a movie script should read, this is really good. However this is the second review of this book I am reading today and I had stated I was undecided about this novel. The novel though seems interesting at first glance (book cover and title are quite catchy), but also seems to have too many moving parts and characters(I might be wrong though). To read or not to read?
