Explanation Supposing Books People of the Sea (North America's Forgotten Past #5)

A spellbinding tale of life and love, death and adventure, in North America eleven thousand years ago, when mammoths roamed the continent. Award-winning archaeologists Michael and Kathleen Gear, using the best archaeological information, have created a stunning vision of our pre-history, and of the men and women who lived in this rapidly changing world. The great glaciers that cover the Sierra Nevada mountains are melting, destroying the habitats of the great elephants, lions and short-faced bears - and giving birth to the rich land that will become California. The few thousand people who have settled along the coast struggle to understand as the world around them changes. Where have the mastodons gone? And why are the mammoths disappearing? The seer Sunchaser would ordinarily visit the Spirit World and return with answers - but he has lost his way. Meanwhile his rival, Catchstraw, has discovered witchcraft as a way to Power - at the expense of his soul. And what will it mean to the people when a beautiful fugitive arrives? Kestrel, born in Arizona's marsh country, is running from her mad husband, desperately hoping for sanctuary on the coast. But if the Spirits are taking the mammoths now, what will they do should the people shelter an evil woman? Surely they should deliver her to her husband, who will kill her - and who has his own link to the Spirit World through the pitiful, mummified corpse of his little son.... Must Sunchaser choose between the woman he comes to love and the continuation of his world? He knows full well that either choice will damn him....

Assessment Appertaining To Books People of the Sea (North America's Forgotten Past #5)

I love the authors. I could not put the book downVery good story😎

I wrote my review on Amazon.

This is the third or fourth book that I've read in this series, and the stories are beginning to feel a bit too formulaic. I did not enjoy this one as much as the others. Seemed to drag on too long. Insertion of patriarchal gender roles and strict monogamy seems forced. When Wolfdreamer speaks to Sunchaser about the "civilization" that will develop in that area far in the future, it smacks of impressing colonial and Western ideals of progress on an Indigenous culture. Any of the text in Italics

These books keep going and going. Part of a series, they don't really have to be read in order. In fact, this one takes place in a period of history that was before when the fourth book took place. You may miss a few details, but really, as obscure as some of this is, it isn't going to have an impact on your reading enjoyment.People of the Sea is about racing for your life. Kestrel, having been accused by her husband of incest, is heavily pregnant and seeking to escape his wrath. He's always

This is Book 5 of the series of North America's Forgotten Past.The environment is changing, the glaciers are melting and the big animals such as the Mastodons and Mammoths are disappearing. Sunchaser has lost his way through the maze that leads him to Wolf Hunter and the land of the dead Then Kestral shows up and finds Sunchaser. She has run away from her husband because of him beating her and she is carrying a child that he thinks is someone else's. Sunchaser feels that she has something in her

I'm starting to see a pattern with these books...

Although the descriptions of plants and animals and people was intriguing, in the end its basically a downer. too much violence and hatred, the dying mammoths, the sickness of the people all contribute to this being depressing.
