Summary: Anxiously awaiting the next book
Review: 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.

Summary: GREAT
Review: Can not begin the decribe the three books, the story that unfolds, and the clarity of reading and being able to visually see the story as if it were a movie. Keep writing - Sue Harrison - I am one person who waits for more stories to take me away to a different time and place!!!

Summary: I really love this book, I've worn out 2 copies so far!!
Review: Good things come to those who.. have the disfavor of the whale spirits. I cannot get over how much I enjoy this authors work, no mater how many times I read her first series. The descriptions of the trade goods, different foods, hardships of the characters and their simple desires to go on living "feeling the sun.. and hearing the words spoken by the sea" are so compelling that I cannot put this book away easily. My favorate character here is Kukutux, don't try to get away with anything around her, I loved what she did to Waxtal(about time) and his reaction was priceless! The way she handles people to survive, she is a born leader, and got a seal belly of oil out of Hard Rock by playing him perfectly.
The one person who did start to get on my nerves was the Raven, he was billed to us as a shaman with delusions of grandeur but what did he ever do to even get the position as a shaman in tha first place? He is a manipulator, liar, murderer, thief, and is not the least bit respected in his own village and yet he is the shaman? How did that happen? Who would go to him for anything? Why hasen't someone wised up and "removed" him?
Ah well, aside from that this is a wonderfull ending to this series. I would give it 6 stars. A must read.

Summary: Much better than Jean Auel!
Review: 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!

Summary: A Darn Good Story!
Review: I picked up these books to read while in Alaska on a first-time trip and continued to read them once back home until the end of this series. Generally it was a real basic and relaxing "female" kind of read with a lot of neat little "fact-ettes" thrown in. I saw the exhibit in the Alaska Museum in Anchorage and this was a nice "topping". I do feel like I am left at the end of what should have been a 4 or 5 book venture. What happens now to all the predictions about two of the main characters who get left as toddlers... And the villian was too excellent of a character! He couldn't really end up like he did? I will wait for a bit and one day read the next series~

Summary: In simple terms -- wonderful!!
Review: I read the My Sister The Moon first not realizing there was a first. By the end of the story it was like a show you were into and then all of a sudden it says "to be continued..." I left feeling disappointed like that couldn't be it. Then fortuantly i found the third of the trilogy. Brother Wind gave me the ending I was looking forward to. She amazed me with this story. I was completly satisfied. The book held a magical tale of a beautiful woman who had so much strength and courage that I wanted to be her. The book captured my spirit and placed all of its attention in the heart of this book. Oh i wish there was a fourth. I would love to hear how the twins grew up. I was also very intrigued with Kukutux, and wouldn't mind have Harrison's next book focus on her with some intresting twists on the twins life. I was a little unsure about moving into a different trilogy, based on knowing I would miss the same characters but I figured Sue amazed me this time why couldn't she with a different series. So I had to go out and buy the Storyteller trilogy. P.S. the person that wrote the review that said She Who Remembers was written by Harrison was wrong. That book was written by Linda Lay Shuler, who also has her own trilogy starting with She Who Remembers and that is an equally good historical book that i would recommend to any of Harrison's or Auel's readers.

Summary: A Trilogy not to be missed...
Review: I started reading Sue Harrison with her novel She who Remembers, her writing style kept me on the look out for more of her books. Mother Earth Father Sky; My Sister the Moon; Brother Wind: The trilogy does leave you wanting for more with the interest in what happens next, this makes me hope that she will continue the story with at least 2 more books. There are so many opportunities and challenges for a writer to continue in this fashion. Will Sue hear the cries of the people and continue this saga. I as an avid reader do hope so. I do suggest that the reader starts with the first book and move the trilogy in that fashion. I started with My Sister the Moon and then moved on to Mother Earth Father Sky ;Brother Wind not by choice but by accident. Regardless I really enjoyed this book, and I recommend any and all of Sue Harrison's books to those who are interested in Native American tales or who love a great story.
