After reading this one, I'm now waiting for Amanda's next book. I have all three of the Horse Catchers Trilogy and enjoyed each one.

I enjoy all Native American Historical novels, especially the survival ones, as long as there is not too much "romance" drama on the side. Great book (s)!

I discovered Amanda Cockrell several years ago with the first Deer Hunters trilogy and I couldn't wait to read more of her books--waited impatiently for the next book to come out. She does not disappoint in this trilogy. Her characters are fleshed out and her plots keep me turning the pages. I only hope my success is near hers with my first book, "Forever Retro Blues," and I hope there are many more of her books to read in the future.
Rain Child's adventures and misadventures remind us of of our own childhood and coming-of-age. I think everyone has the experience of not fitting in and then somehow, we end up making it anyway.

Although I usually get caught up in the relationships between the characters, the descriptions of the surroundings, and the story, (I really like the historical value), I find with Amanda Cokrell's writing a very unique style. I feel like I have just spent the day with an old grandmother telling me some of the old stories. Just the way they were told back then. I'm not always sure whether I am reading a story or poetry.

I really enjoy the different perspective of the Coyote who creates his own story inside the story. How very imaginative!
It definitely warrants a read just to experience this unique journey. In all the books I've read nothing has come close to her style of writing.
