This is one way to introduce a culture. Comanche tribe seems interesting.
Reading is a journey to the world.

I feel like I heard this title somewhere, or probably just same name. Anyway, this looks really excited and enjoyable. I've always been a huge fan of historical/fantasy fiction and this suots my taste o much. Thanks a lot.

This is really fascinating, and I am glad that the book contains nuggets that could be applicable in life. It sounds captivating to the last page as well. Thanks for the review.

I'm not very familiar with the Comanche tribe, and for those who are the same, the book seems like it would be a good primer to learn more about them! I do also appreciate well-thought-out characters. Thanks for the review.

Skullduggery at Quanah seems like an interesting book but it's not the kind of book I'm interested in. The review was articulate.

Wow! I would really like to know whether Jonathan will succeed or not, what challenges will he encounter and who is going to be supporting him trough his journey is something I would really like to know. Thanks for the great review.

I notice it too, it was confusing, so I had to skip it.

This sounds like an interesting glimpse into Comanche traditions. I enjoyed your comments about seeing the soul inside the person and not judging by outward appearances. Great writing! Thanks for the recommendation.
