RAVEN’ PASSION, Book 2
By Mary Adair
Young Love
This is definitely a YA genre and although the author uses
Indian names like one might expect, it is simply written and has a good share
of imagination in the plot, which would make it particularly interesting for
teenagers, about whom most of the story centers. Her language, however, does not particularly
feature how Indians would speak in their language. Also when the deer was killed and the girl went
to skin it, with the boy’s help and then she takes the skin away to wash it and
he wraps up the meat, with no electricity how was he going to keep the meat
from spoiling? Also, usually when there
was a skin, it would take three Indian women to scrape the skin clean of
gristle and fat on one side and hair on the other. And then it was soaked in animal urine to make
it soft. As far as keeping the meat,
usually it would be cut in strips and dried.
But taking into consideration who would be reading this
story, I think it is a good plot with heroes and heroines and bad men, and
fantasies that make it enjoyable.
I was given a complimentary copy for an honest review.
