review 1: Se acabó. Me rindo. Tenía muchas ganas de leer esta novela y realmente iba predispuesta a que me gustara, pero ha sido imposible. No pasa nada terrible que lo haga insoportable, pero ha sido como una gota que acaba erosionado una piedra, en este caso mi paciencia, por eso he aguantado tanto antes de desistir, pero su historia de amor se me hacía absurda por poco creible, y pesada por repetir, una y otra vez, lo honorables e incomprendidos que son los indios, cuando luego ellos cometen los mismos errores que la protagonista, pero en su caso se pasa por alto... Demuéstrame lo honorables que son, escribe eso que les hace especiales, no me lo digas una y otra vez para que me lo crea a base de repetirlo y lo demuestres por comparación, haciendo que todo inglés (salvo la p... morerota, su padre y algo menos una amiga) sea como una caricatura grotesca de lo peor de un ser humano.Esperaba un libro que exaltara los valores de un pueblo que casi desapareció y mostrara una historia de amor que sirviera de unión entre los dos mundos, y me encontré con un panfleto "Indios buenos, blancos malos".
review 2: Lakota Surrender was my attempt at trying Karen Kay once more to see if I had been missing something. The answer: no.This book was boring because there was no real conflict. The lead couple see each other and are instantly in LOVE, despite the fact they don't know each other. The thing that annoyed me about this story is the way it's written as almost an overview rather than from the mind of each character. I didn't really feel connected to either of the leads. I was also put off from the way the author referred to the hero as Indian, he supposedly even thought of himself as Indian. From what I have read, Native Americans thought of themselves by their tribe names certainly not as an Indian.The story kept emphasising how in LOVE the couple was, not really showing them fall in love. The story wasn't realistic and didn't give enough detail to give a real feel for the location and time period. I didn't buy the romance and was annoyed at the heroine's actions. The hero wasn't bad but I was annoyed that most of the story was at a fort so we never really got to see how he really lived. The way the hero was described felt realistic but the instant eternal love with barely any interaction with the white heroine just didn't make sense to me.So my end opinion: I am not missing anything by not reading Karen Kay, her stories are not realistic or interesting enough for me. The writing wasn't totally bad, it just is not my type of story. less
