great book

As part Cherokee
I really followed the path of the warrior in this book. The author does a fantastic job of making the book realistic and a great story. Love the wave the characters are placed into the story and the Indian lore
Highly recommend this book

This seems wildly historically inaccurate. Calling god the All Father? We’re talking Cheyenne peoples here, not Norse. The writing was so stilted that it was hard to even figure out what was going on. Lots of practices and customs that also seemed wrong.

Too spotty

I really thought this was a terrible told story. The author covered to much . the descriptive parts were ok but just an awful book.
