Seems like an interesting read. Am always looking for books set in the olden days. The review cites both negative and positive aspects about it but am looking forward to reading it

It would be interesting to learn about the Native American traditions of old. I only hope the difficult names won't bother me too much.

I am a huge fan of historical fiction. I really enjoyed your review. One thing I love about this book is the detailed and descriptive style of writing. It was almost like I was watching everything happen. I'm definitely going to take it to the end.

The paleolithic age is a wonder of mammalian life. Stories of man's interactions with these fantastic beasts are always worth reading. Worth reading the book.

Quite interesting, not overly complicated, but at the same time more serious than some easy entertaining. I am intrigued by the reviewer's point of view and impressions and luckily don't have to wait and make up my mind thanks to generosity of the author. Congratulations with BOTD!

Thank you for your review. I don't think this is the book for me. I really enjoy historical fiction but like the novel to flow well so that I can feel immersed in the story. Congratulations on BOTD though.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting historical fiction about how the ancient people of the Pacific northwest had to be brave and face their fears of the unknown in a move east across the mountains in pursuit of food and resources. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

An interesting review about a unique historical fiction book which combines native American tales with a love story, messages of unity & teamwork while also dealing with war & animosity. I will surely give it a try. Thanks for the review.
