Family and friends forever
Good story telling the story of a warrior, his family and friends. Easy reading, except some time movement gaps. I missed the link between several events and had to back up for clarity. Still, this story was very enjoyable and hard to put the tablet down. Looking forward to the next chapter of his work.

I absolutely loved the book and can't wait to read another. The man is a wonderful story teller. The words he uses are so discriptive and evoke such strong feelings. There is a lot in nature that I will look at differently. Using more of my soul then my eyes.

What an amazing author!
I loved the first book but actually found this one even harder to find a stopping place! These books are so well written you can smell the campfires and feel the breeze on your cheek and you’re there. Thank you for these well written books.

A story of love..
This is a lovely story of love, perseverance and a glimpse into history of The People. The author brought to life some very wonderful characters and made the reader feel they were part of the story. I am thrilled the story continues!
