The book cover page complements its contents. I could feel the chanting and incantations described by the reviewer. However, this is not the type of book I enjoy reading. It seems interesting though. Congratulations to the author on winning BOTD!

Based just on title I was going to pass the book, because hunt and Columbia, both are not the subjects I have any interest in. But after reading description in review, story managed to grow on me and now I am very grateful you gifted us an opportunity to read such interesting story. Thanks and congrats on BOTD!

A book about one-of-a-kind distinguishing research. I'm not a fan of historical fiction and I will have to skip this book. I won't be interested in this book. Thanks for the review. Congrats on the BOTD!

I like the way the book began at a dig site at Pronghorn Plateau and the discovery of some ancient relics. The addition of the appendix and glossary which was pointed out, in the index is useful. It seems to be the tale of a number of Indian tribes, living at the end of the Paleolithic period, who after several generations had depleted their supplies of Deer and Elk and were not at war amongst themselves.

I like the part about the lovers who met by chance and stayed together against all odds. I think we often stop trying because things seem hard, sometimes giving up is a mistake. Courage and persistence are two of the most important things in life. I do not know if I will read it, but I like that part of the story.

This sounds like an interesting book, and I love historical fiction but I'm; not sure I could get into this one with the difficult names to pronounce and the wandering off of the story while describing the environment in too much detail! Thanks for the insightful review!

While this comes across as a well-written book, I'm not a fan of historical fiction, so I'll be skipping it. But I'm glad that the author has included the culture and used native names in the story, which will help increase the reader's knowledge. Great review!

I like to read historical fiction but not so far from the past. The inconsistent and disjointed storytelling is not my favorite thing either. Great job with the review.

The story of two lovers who remain together, in spite of all adversities, is not new but in this setting, it is definitely original.

A historical book about researchers and a huge discovery and a touch of romance is something I'll love to read. I also like the fact that it is embedded with traditions and culture. Thanks for the review
