Yes, I agree. The language used to describe Sarah's journey was the same as any child would describe his/her own journey. It suits her character really well and helps us to understand her struggles.Snowflake wrote:I felt this too. I really enjoyed this part of the book, especially the language. After the first narration of her vision, I kept waiting to get back to it and learn more.Miriam Molina wrote:I found the narration fascinating. It used "Indian talk" with the characters being given descriptive names, the men searching for big animal and small animal signs, and the women yearning for journey children. I was there rowing and bailing water out, hiding in the bushes for private business and learning how to make and throw darts.

Too many details can confuse readers sometimesSalsabila wrote:I love how Sarah gives an insight on her journey, the details aren't shady such that you can actually picture the scene. Even the name giving was symbolical showing that people have been able to upgrade communication to a certain level such that they can perceive a person's character through their name. Even in the modern day names are quite important even though a bit more classical. Names in most traditions are believed to hold character of their owner. But I would say that too much detail some times tends to confuse me since I find myself focusing on the scene more than the plot.

I would say I felt exactly the same. I appreciate all the description though, I just feel it could have been a bit more easier on the reader.Christina Rose wrote:I found it somewhat hard to follow. I had a hard time keeping up with the different characters. It was very descriptive, yes, but it took me longer to get through this part of the novel. I had to kinda slow down.
