Overall it was enjoyable. We know so little of thee social mores of the people of the Pueblos. So it is hard to break out of the standard historic fiction book outline. Given that the author had so little guidance of our heroine I'm willing to give the author a bit more leeway than authors writing about the Civil War period for example. If you are a fan of historical romances that are heavier on the history but still containing the Cinderella-story-romance remnants then you will find this a pleasant read. As for me, I am thankful that I live in a society that depends little on the protection off my mate because I'd have yanked my hook and released both of the candidates long before I trudged to the end with She Who Remembers. I will probably try the next in the series because I hate just knowing half the story but... I'm so tired of every lame idea being drug out into a three-part saga. Ugh! So try it but if you don't finish it don't be too disappointed. You could probably guess the rest. ( )

Very much like Clan of the Cave Bear except the first few chapters would've been dragged out to one whole book for Jean M. Auel!

Really enjoyed this, didn't want to put it down.

Didn't always agree with Kwani's behaviour and she seemed to get through men (Wopio, Ute, Kokopelli, Okalake and Tolonqua) but she was a compelling character.

Will have to read the sequels. Book versions are hard to get hold of but can get cheap ebook copies. ( )

I didn't get past the first 60 pages. Just wasn't my thing. The symbolism was stretching a bit too much. I thought it odd to not only tell the reader what the main character was thinking and feeling, but also the mountain lion... struck me as offputting and assumed the rest would dissapoiny as well.
Thanks to the person who did take the time to give me a recommendation ( )

I put this book down after less than 100 pages. It did not seem realistic to me at all. The vikings never progressed west of Minnesota and while the Mandan indians pose an interesting discussion as to whether they interbred with vikings, it is quite in dispute. The Anasazi Indians were in the American South West...It is difficult to imagine vikings having such an effect so far from waterways such as large rivers that they would have traveled.

Kwani was cast out of her tribe being called a witch because of her blue eyes...she has virtually no food and is starving when she stumbles on another man cast out of the Ute tribe because of the deformity of his foot. All of a sudden they are eating corn bread...really...corn does not grow wild...it must be cultivated where did they get the seed. I also did not buy into a viking crossbow...this was a very rare weapon used by vikings and I doubt anyone lucky enough to acquire such a weapon would trade it for a panier of dried meat and a robe.

This book has had some comparison the Jean Auel's "The Clan of the Cave Bear"...this book is not even close in detail and flow of the story. I may have issues with Ms. Auel's following books because of too frequent flashbacks but the first book was excellent.

This is just a story...it is not historical fiction in my opinion. ( )

This was one of the first Native American related books I've read. I loved it to bits and found it thoroughly enjoyable, however in my personal opinion (and to my personal taste) I found the reading to be slow as it was a little hard to get into initially, despite the interest I had in it. It sat on my shelf for months to be picked again and then sit again for months until I finally finished it.

In all, though, it was worth the read. ( )
