Summary: Undecided
Review: As a big Fan of Mother Earth Father Sky, I eagerly looked forward to this book. However I have to admit I was somewhat disappointed. Were as the first book there actually had good and happy scenes, My sister the Moon seemed to carry a very negative side to it. There was very little happiness in it and it really left me undecided if I wanted to read the last book.
The writing was well done but again I think the book could have used more happiness to make it not seem to downwinded.

Summary: Great book, i was very surprised
Review: I actually read Auel's Earth Children's Series before reading anything from Harrison. I didn't expect to find an arthur to capture a story like Auel did, but i was wrong. At first being introduced to Kiin I wasn't impressed. I actually read this one first before reading Mother Earth Father Sky so in the beginning I was lost. Now that I've read the first one everything makes sense. Still I wasn't impressed with the amount of details and not until later did I realize but I was comparing her to Auel, which isn't right. Every writer has their own unique style, and just because Harrison's was different from what i was used to didn't make it bad. I was curious still of what was to come so I continued to read the story. Samiq and Kiin's forbidden love intrigued me and once her brother kidnapped her, i was hooked. The story captured me and brought me along to join the characters on their journey. The more the story flowed the more details were introduced (it just wasn't played out like Auel did), the characters came alive and in simple terms -- i loved it. Then at the end i felt like i was left hanging like the book wasn't finished. Then i found out a third had been published and immediatly i went to the bookstore to find it. I was compelled to have some kind of resolution. That couldn't have been the way it ended, and i was so impatient to read the next in the series, Brother Wind. All around great book. Harrison impressed me.

Summary: It stirs the heart
Review: I came across Sue Harrisons My Sister the Moon by accident, a friend had left it behind in my home. From the first page to the frantic search for the sequel I absolutely love this book. I felt such a connection with Kiin, because their customs and life are so similar to my own Heritage of being maori. It shows Mana Wahine (Womens Prestige,Power and independence) It is a book that i recommend to my friends and family. I read this book when i seek comfort, solace and relief. It is like an oasis that restores my energy and empowers me to keep doing what i do. Thankyou so much Sue Harrison

Summary: This book was wonderful....!!!!
Review: I loved this book. Unfortunately, I jumped right into the middle of the trilogy. A friend gave me this book as a gift and ,I, not knowing this was part of a trilogy began...The book was wonderful..I will definitely get both "Mother Earth, Father Sky"-Vol.1 and "Brother Wind"-Vol.3.. I can wait to be a part of Kiin and Samiq's life again.. the story draws you in. Mrs. Harrison really knows how to make you feel like you are right there among the First Men. I will also make sure to get the Storyteller Trilogy as well.. !!!!

Summary: My Sister the Moon
Review: I thought that this story was excellent! I loved Sue Harrisons descriptions of Native American life in the Alaskas and Kiin's life as a child who was not wanted. I think that the only problem was that Kiin was able to hold her wants too many times.

Summary: Well I read the first half and....
Review: It was nothing like her first book. It was an ongoing soap opera that was so....blah. I read the first 100 pages or so, and I kept WAITING AND WAITNG AND WAITING for something exciting to happen, but nothing. I couldn't take it anymore. I had to stop. It was kinda weird, the whole thing. I admit, I might finish it later and try it out again and find out what happens, but maybe in the future.

Summary: They just keep getting better!
Review: Not very often are sequels as good as originals, but this one definatly is! It was better than I could've ever hoped for. Sue Harrison once again shows how a great story is to be told! From the second I opened the book I was unable to put it down, I felt as if I were a part of it. I lost hours of sleep staying up until I fell asleep reading, but it was more than worth it! I encourage all people to read these magnificent stories!
