review 1: A heartwarming heroic journey filled with love and the beginnings of an understanding of different people.There are always two sides to a story. Young Kaylee was raised believing the Indians were savage and killed for the pleasure of it, but soon she learns it is not so. After saving Blue Hawk, she lives with his people and shares their pain and joy. Their people are accepting of her where her people shoot first and ask questions later. But the love these two share soon makes all the difference for their growing family.
review 2: I don't know if I can describe in how many ways this story went wrong. To start, I didn't begin the book with the expectation that it was going to be a work of art and one of the greatest literature of all time. I did expect a cute s... moretory with interesting and lovable characters with a heavy romantic theme. What I received was...less than stellar.The character's were very flat, not much to them. However, that wasn't the main crux of the story. The plot went way too fast. She found the injured Indian on like page 5, couple pages later nursed him back to health, a chapter later he escaped with her as his captive, and then 1/4 way through the book they made love (in a paragraph and in the woods, what a great place for their first time!) I wanted to learn more about the characters, what made them tick, their backgrounds before they met. Her caring for Blue Hawk could have gone on for awhile, giving the characters time to overcome any hostilities toward one another. Then, the best moment was when they were out on their own between worlds, this is the moment where they can connect with each other, so who they really are outside of responsibilities and culture. But they were on their own for one night! And all of a sudden she's thrust into his world and having to cope and then they fall madly in love. I couldn't even finish the book, I threw it down in disgust and contemplated re-writing the story to fit my own perception of how the book should have read. I would not recommend this book to anyone who has the faintest grip on reality. less
