Summary: Another great book in this series!
Review: After reading the first book in this series, I immediately purchased the next three. The books are so good that I've been pacing my reading...I'll read one, then read something by another author or two and then read another. Why? Because I hate for the story to come to an end.

This book, like the previous two I've read, is very good. This author has an incredible ability to "paint" a picture of the characters and scenery that almost makes you believe you're there. You can almost feel the biting winter winds, as the characters trudge through the snow in search of food and shelter. You feel their pain and despair as they find themselves faced with cruelty from other people and danger from the elements and animals they hunt to live.

By the time you finish with the first of these books, you'll feel as if Torka and Lonit and the host of other characters are old friends.

And to make things even better, the author leaves you no time to get bored because there's always something going on...both good and bad.

Even though this type of novel (historical) is not the typical type of book I read, this series has left me hungering for more books covering this time period, or at a minimum, other authors with the writing talent that Sarabande has.

Summary: Ok but not great
Review: The First Americas Series is a great series, however the bookForbidden Land is the only book out of the whole series that I didn'tenjoy immensely. In fact I found myself getting annoyed with the way that the book was written. Especially when it came to Karana and to Torka. The conflict between them was awful. Karana is protrayed as childish and Torka as this bull headed idiot. But if you can get past the way the author protrays these two main characters, it is a pretty good book.

Summary: THE BEST IN STONE AGE STORYTELLING!
Review: William Sarabande's series in this saga of the stone age man is far superior than others I have read. Her insight and storytelling of how it used to be back then seems well researched and exciting, filled with action and adventure as well. The characters are very strong and very enjoyable to read. There is alot of intrigue and things happen that you dont expect - which I like in a book. This is a must read!
