I recently read a book talking about humankind revisiting its roots to rediscover their sense of belonging and unity. Would love to read this author's views on the same as well. Thanks for such a detailed review.

Seems like a brilliant book. What are the discoveries made by these researchers? It’ll be great to find out.

A book with a rare and exceptional touch of traditions, native vocabulary, incantations and historical background sounds so engrossing. Will surely give it a shot.

A fascinating book that discusses discoveries, destiny, and love. Adrian did a great job discussing researchers and their impact. The plot was well summarised by you. Nice review!

Thanks for the review! Historical fiction is one of my favourite genres. I'm a bit worried about your unfavourable remarks but I'm still going to try it out.

It looks like the author does a good job creating the right atmosphere for the timeline in which this book is set. The translation of the native names is also thoughtful allowing a larger audience to enjoy the book. Kudos!

It is always enthralling to visit the good old times, and I am glad the author uses traditional names and languages, including the chants in the book. Thanks for the review.

Finding love in the midst of chaos? That's an interesting theme to explore. I'd love to know what became of the love birds as events unfolded.

This book seems intriguing. A book with traditional setting and one about the journeys, exploration and discoveries is a nice one, however, I easily get bored over excess and unnecessary description. Nice review!

It seems that the archeologists and their discovery are just the framing device with an even more exciting story about Paleo-America in the middle. The very mention of dire wolves is enough to pique my interest. If Adrian truly has done his research well and depicted life and culture back then as well as we can determine based on the evidence we currently have, this book seems as though it could be thrilling and compelling. Thank you for the helpful review.

I was not able to fully connect and picture the book, as I thought of. But great settings.

This does sound like a unique book. I think the lack of flow in the storyline may frustrate me but I think I'll give the book and try and add it to my reading list. Thank you for the honest and informative review.
