Harrison completes her prehistoric trilogy (Mother Earth, Father Sky; My Sister the Moon) with this engrossing wrap-up of the harsh and dramatic adventures of Kiin, Samiq and other Aleutian Islanders of 9000 years ago. When her husband is killed by Raven (of the Walrus People tribe), Kiin, an accomplished carver, is forced to abandon both her own tribe of the First Men and one of her twin sons and return with the killer to his village. In revenge, Samiq, chief hunter of the First Men and brother of the murdered man, seeks Raven's death. Meanwhile, Kukutux (of the tribe of Whale Hunters) bewails her own husband's death and her subsequent life of abandonment. Playing a pivotal role in bringing these stories together is a selfish con artist, Waxtal, who, banished from the First Men for stealing spearheads and oil that he trades for tusks to carve, vows revenge on Samiq. Deceit leads to a series of violent deaths culminating in a knife fight backdropped by beach fires and falling snow. Informed by Native American legends, myths and traditions and replete with convincing recreations of trading practices, seal hunting and vision fasts, this novel offers an emotionally compelling conclusion to a monumental saga.

This review is from: Brother Wind (Mass Market Paperback)

I read the My Sister The Moon first not realizing there was a first. By the end of the story it was like a show you were into and then all of a sudden it says "to be continued..." I left feeling disappointed like that couldn't be it. Then fortuantly i found the third of the trilogy. Brother Wind gave me the ending I was looking forward to. She amazed me with this story. I was completly satisfied. The book held a magical tale of a beautiful woman who had so much strength and courage that I wanted to be her. The book captured my spirit and placed all of its attention in the heart of this book. Oh i wish there was a fourth. I would love to hear how the twins grew up. I was also very intrigued with Kukutux, and wouldn't mind have Harrison's next book focus on her with some intresting twists on the twins life. I was a little unsure about moving into a different trilogy, based on knowing I would miss the same characters but I figured Sue amazed me this time why couldn't she with a different series. So I had to go out and buy the Storyteller trilogy. P.S. the person that wrote the review that said She Who Remembers was written by Harrison was wrong. That book was written by Linda Lay Shuler, who also has her own trilogy starting with She Who Remembers and that is an equally good historical book that i would recommend to any of Harrison's or Auel's readers.

Can not begin the decribe the three books, the story that unfolds, and the clarity of reading and being able to visually see the story as if it were a movie. Keep writing - Sue Harrison - I am one person who waits for more stories to take me away to a different time and place!!!
