Great review. I used to never listen to audiobooks but I’m the last couple of years I have really come to enjoy them especially while doing tedious chores like laundry, cleaning, etc. this sounds like quite an adventure I think that when a story brings magic and science together successfully it's usually quite intriguing. Too bad about the abrupt ending that puts a damper on any book but I still think I’m going to check this one out. Thanks so much for sharing.

Strong Heart is my type of book. I am interested in the scene details of the Pacific Northwest in this narrative. I think it will be also interesting to listen to the audio version. Good job, on the review.

I'm a big fan of "legends" and "facts" getting all twisted up to create a new story! Sounds cool. I'm wondering if your confusion during Sarah's story was because it was an audiobook? I sometimes feel that way. That even though the narrator is reading in English, sometimes it just sounds GREEK to me! LOL And I don't speak GREEK!!! LOL

Well-written review. Sounds like an interesting story. Because I am not familiar with Native American legend, I'll check it out.

Thanks for the candid review. I will like to read the book so that I can experience an audio book for the first time as I have not experienced one before.

I love listening to audio books. This book surely caught my interest. The plot is unique and captivating. Having a Native American character makes it even more interesting. There are a lot of important details that it may contain. Thanks for the great review.

I enjoy stories involving any legends, including Native American legends, and I can already imagine quite a few scenarios which could go down in this setting. I'm hesitant because of how you describe the ending, but I'll still keep it on my ever-growing "to read" list. Thank you for the detailed and helpful review.

I'm not a fan of audiobooks. I miss reading at my own pace, and I also find that sometimes audiobooks can be flat and render the book uninteresting. I browsed this one before to review but was always turned off by the fact that it was an audio book. Glad to know you enjoyed it though. Thanks for a great review!
