Cry of the Wind: Book Two of the Storyteller Trilogy

Sue Harrison is one of the best respectful writers of Native American lure that I have read and I have read countless books on the subject. This book is part of trilogy about Alaskan Natives who are story tellers. You will leave your world and find yourself caught up in their drama, loves, and happiness of a world abandoned in the past. I don't want to spoil the plot but this novel is beautifully written and I suggest you read all three beginning with book one.

This book is a great sequel to "Song of the River". It is very well written and so engrossing that I finished it in just 2 days! Her characters have depth and reality- you can relate with them and their joys and sorrows. One of the reasons I like to read Sue Harrison's books is for her true potrayals of human behaviors with their strenghs and their weaknesses. Too many times authors write their characters as being "perfect" with nothing but positive things happening to them. Sue's stories are beautiful and believable. You will feel like you know her characters and will miss them when you have to put the book down! I am anxiously awaitng to read the third book in her trillogy! Thank you Sue!

I have read all of Sue Harrison's Ivory Carver Trilogy, and the first two books in her Storyteller Trilogy and I have loved every one of them. For the past month I have lived through her books, reading one right after the other, not stopping long enough to get a whole night of sleep. Her characters come alive and live through my imagination. She is never monotonous in her writing, always changing in a way that makes me yearn for more, making each book an adventure in itself. Thank you Sue for your amazing talent and dedication to your readers.

I could not put this book down! I thought it was great from the first page to the last. Ms. Harrison is a great writer, she left me in suspense all the way to the end without giving a clue away. When I finished the book (in three days!) I immediately went on line to find what book came next and what had came before it! I would recommend any of her books to others who enjoy the same stories. Keep up the great work, Ms. Harrison! Can't wait to read the next one!

This book picks up where Song of the River left off. Chakliux and his brother Sok have decided to live in the Cousin River Village after it lost the battle with the Near River Village. Aqamdax, whose heart belongs to Chakliux, is married to the one-armed Night Man. This book is action-packed with so many deaths and near-misses you get dizzy, and a great surprise "murderer" at the end. This book is for the thinker though. There are so many characters and story lines--which is exactly what I like in a good story--that make this book a fun challenge. Only one "foreshadowing" seemed a bit contrived--the doubt raised about whether Red Leaf was Day Woman's killer. Thanks to Sue Harrison for another great book!
