I am glad Robin Hobb has written under her maiden name, or . . . began writing under her maiden name. I have found, however, that these titles are hard to find. No public library in my home state held either The Reindeer People or Wolf's Brother, but thanks to my ILL service, I've enjoyed the entire story from beginning to end. Again, the ecological and environmental reality of an Ice Age people are well described, as is a northern culture. Carp, like so many of our religious leaders today was m...more
The concluding second book of the 'Reindeer People' story.
I was surprised that this book was shorter than the first one, but then I read somewhere that originally she wrote both of these as one book - and that her publisher said it was too long.
Anyway I enjoyed it - perhaps marginally less than the first one.
The only adverse thing I have to say, is that I thought the ending happened all too quickly. But maybe I just think that because I would have loved the book to have been a bit longer!

A great book. I read it in the two book set called "A Saga of the Reindeer People" by Megan Lindholm. Originally she wrote them together in one book but her publishers said it was too long.
It's no secret, I'm a fan. I finished the book last night then spent the whole night dreaming about it again. So brilliant. The back of the book doesn't really explain what it's about, they allude to Tillu's running but the books are really about her integration with the Reindeer people.
Not bad. She's no Robin Hobb.
Not special, but still fun for a few hours.
Really good - kept my interest and a very good book - if you like pre history people books, like I do.
Bought as it matched the other book I was buying at the time along with the mention of wolves (my favourite animals). I found I didn't enjoy this as much as the other Megan Lindholm book I read. I know this is the 2nd book in a series so I wonder if that impacted on my appreciation of the story.
Well, I read this book and the other, called Reindeer People I believe. I read them because I love Robin Hobb's (pen name) books, and I've been trying to read all of the older writings of Megan Lindholm.
I don't remember much about this book, but I didn't think it matched up in quality with her later writing as Robin Lindholm. I remember finding it much harder to read.
