Customer Reviews

Much better than Jean Auel!

I applaud the Ivory Carver Trilogy, it was fascinating until the very last page of Brother Wind. Ending with a bang, this story was wonderfully written! My heart as well as my eyes raced through every page. I started reading Sunday night and finished Monday morning. Sue Harrison's books are not only beautifully written, they are also believable making her a FANTASTIC story teller, far better than the hard to believe stories by Jean Auel. In this trilogy no detail is left unexplained, and nothing is left unfinished. I recomend this to all readers who are prepared to travel back in time and embark on a great adventure!

Anxiously awaiting the next book

A couple of years ago, I bought a book called Mother Earth, Father Sky by Sue Harrison. Ever since then, I've found myself searching for the next book to come from Sue Harrison. Each book of hers that I've read so far has been so good I never wanted to put it down! Brother Wind is such an awesome story. I certainly hope Sue isn't going to leave it a trilogy. I want to know what happens next! What happens to the Whale Hunter village, the twins- how do they grow together-, the Seal Hunters-how do they find a new way to provide food for themselves? I loved this book. It was full of suspense and love. I would recommend any and all of Sue Harrison's books to those who are interested in Native Amercan tales or who love a great story.

A Darn Good Story!

Sue Harrison knows how to write a story with suspense and keep the reader hooked. I had trouble putting this book down. She has done a good job in her research but more than that, she has really honed her skills as a writer. Congratulations, Sue!

I couldn't put the books down!

For about a week, these books were my life. Sue Harrison makes one feel as if they are part of the story. I would even go so far as to say that her books, emotionally wrenching as they are, have been life-altering for me. I would recommend her books to anyone who can spare a couple of days to read this AMAZING trilogy.

It changed the way I look at the world.

I just finished reading the last word of this last book of the trilogy: Mother Earth Father Sky; My Sister the Moon; and Brother Wind. These books literally sucked me into another time when spirits and nature were feared, respected, and treated as family. Now I find myself thinking differently, finding more joy in the world around me and in my own family. As a conclusion to the trilogy, the story line of Brother Wind was much more complex and thrilling than the first two books. The build-up to the climax kept me engrossed to the end - wonderful! If I have any quarrel with Brother Wind at all, it is that it focused largely on a very negative character, Waxtal. Although his actions were vital to the story, I missed hearing more about the strong, positive characters . A small complaint for such a compelling story. Now I must clean my ulaq and prepare food for my hunter. Good bye
