I thought this book was very interesting, and I didn't even read the first book. This book's introduction brings you to where the first book really didn't have to happen, as if this were the first book. I had to read this book for an assignment at school and thought of reading it as more of a chore than a pleasure, but once the book gets going, it's pretty dang hard to put down. This book is about an escaped slave boy, Midnight Son, and his friend, Lou Boy, who is not colored. Midnight falls asleep in some snow after a cattle drive and is rescued by a few Arapaho Indians. They bring him to their run-down, make-shift camp, where he meets Winter Mary. Winter Mary's mother, Raven Woman, was also an escaped slave. Winter Mary also had a brother, Eagle Eye. Midnight refuses to go warn the main Indian village of an attack, so Eagle Eye goes to do it himself. After the attack, Midnight, Winter Mary, and Lou Boy find Eagle Eye, and then they carry out Raven Woman's wishes for Midnight to go find her family. Although Midnight does not find Raven Woman's family in this book, he does go on with Winter Mary, Lou Boy, and Eagle Eye to try to find his long lost sister, Lady, who had been sold to another family at an early age, his two sisters, Queen and Truth, and his mother. On his way to find them, he goes back to the place where they worked as slaves. The slaves remaining because their owner hadn't told them that the north had won the civil war and ended slavery told him that one day his father left and they never saw him again. He then continues on to try to find his family with his friends.

Do you like adventure books? After the one that I just read, I never will again. The book is called The Longest Ride, and it's by Denise Lewis Patrick. I think that the book is too farfetch'd. Anyway I recommend that if you like adventure/historical fiction, don't read this book.
I dislike this book for a few reasons, and here are a few. First of all, I don't think that the weather could change in a matter of minutes. I say this because there are a few parts in this book where while the main characters are riding on their journey, the weather goes from a clear sky to a raging blizzard or from a thunderstorm to a blistering, could cook an egg on the road, hot day in record time. Another reason is because I don't think that a person could go for hours after being shot without having some sort of searing pain along with it. One more reason I don't think that you should read the book in this review is because, in all, this book doesn't is a little too imaginative.
To reitterate, you should not read this book because it's confusing, hard to understand, and a little unrealistic. So, If you were thinking about reading it, don't. It's a waste of time. Go read any book except for this one.
