The book seems full of twists with the amazing plot. I, generally, don't read fiction books. But this book seems different. I will consider this book for reading. Thanks for this great review.

I have read the Strong Heart but haven't read Adrift yet and I want to read it before reading this book. I'm glad that the finale delivered. I agree the characters the author created are impressive. Great job with the review.

Thanks for the review, I enjoy the story when I can tell the author did the necessary research. It’s very offputting when the background research of a story is incorrect or incomplete.

The mystery around the elk killings drew my interest right away. I am always interested in reading about cultures from the past, especially about the Indigenous people. Thank you for your review.

This book has a lot of great features. It is divided into two books or parts that help with elements of the story. The characters take us through a type of pilgrimage through the history of the Pacific Northwest and its culture. The tale draws a reader to ask interesting questions about history. How did the indigenous peoples of the past deal with climate change in their time? How would one prepare for climate warming or cooling? The answers may surprise you. I was fascinated by the concepts touched upon in this story that could apply to present-day situations. This adventure is immersive, and it’s easy to lose yourself within the pages. However, with the handy maps provided at the beginning of this novel, you’re sure to navigate your way back out again!

That's incredibly interesting. I'm sure the indigenous people of the past, who were more connected to nature, must have good advice on how to address such a pressing issue.

I have always been impressed by this author’s ability to create characters that are larger than life. Each one’s characteristics become so familiar that the reader could recognize them on the street were they real. Sarah is an excellent example of a 14-yr-old with an attitude that one could take as stubborn. In truth, she shows a strength of character and a love for life.

What a big praise! Character development can make or break a book, so I'm glad it's one of the book's most outstanding characteristics.
Thank you for such an enthusiastic review!

Sounds like a great story but it's not exactly my type. Thanks for the review!

Suspense and discovery are very intriguing genres as far as I am concerned. The review literally bowled me over but my only concern is that it is third book in a series. I couldn't make out if this book is a standalone and whether reading previous two books are necessary. For this very reason I am am not too sure if I would be reading this book. However congrats on BOTD.

This story is about an indigenous people. It asks questions such as how did the indigenous peoples of the past deal with climate change in their time? How would one prepare for climate warming or cooling? This pilgrimage is well written. Thanks for the book review. Congratulations on the BOTD!

I always greatly enjoyed reading Sheldon's books. Although, so far, it was Sydney Sheldon, but thanks to that review, I think from now on it could be Charlie Sheldon as well. Congratulations on BOTD!

This is a fascinating novel filled with suspense. This series weaves tales around the past and present. I will check out the first two installments before reading this one. Great review!
