5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent followup to and better than Song of the River., January 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Cry of the Wind (Storyteller Trilogy, Book 2) (Hardcover)

This book picks up where Song of the River left off. Chakliux and his brother Sok have decided to live in the Cousin River Village after it lost the battle with the Near River Village. Aqamdax, whose heart belongs to Chakliux, is married to the one-armed Night Man. This book is action-packed with so many deaths and near-misses you get dizzy, and a great surprise "murderer" at the end. This book is for the thinker though. There are so many characters and story lines--which is exactly what I like in a good story--that make this book a fun challenge. Only one "foreshadowing" seemed a bit contrived--the doubt raised about whether Red Leaf was Day Woman's killer. Thanks to Sue Harrison for another great book!

This review is from: Cry of the Wind (Storyteller Trilogy, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

I didn't realize that this was the second book in a trilogy when I started it (My fault. It was clearly stated on the front of the book). That may be why I found the numerous characters a bit confusing at first. But there is a list of characters and the villages they come from at the back of the book and that was a big help. I also appreciated the glossary of plants and herbs that were mentioned in the story. Despite the fact that I was unfamiliar with these characters and their past history with each other, the story was easy to follow. I found the details of life in primitive times, in the wilds of Alaska, mesmerizing. The suspense of what was going to happen to these characters kept me turning pages well into the wee hours. It isn't often that I find a book that so involves me, that the rest of the world just disappears for awhile. This is one of those books.

This review is from: Cry of the Wind (Storyteller Trilogy, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is a great sequel to "Song of the River". It is very well written and so engrossing that I finished it in just 2 days! Her characters have depth and reality- you can relate with them and their joys and sorrows. One of the reasons I like to read Sue Harrison's books is for her true potrayals of human behaviors with their strenghs and their weaknesses. Too many times authors write their characters as being "perfect" with nothing but positive things happening to them. Sue's stories are beautiful and believable. You will feel like you know her characters and will miss them when you have to put the book down! I am anxiously awaitng to read the third book in her trillogy! Thank you Sue!
