Industry Reviews
YA Details of prehistoric society come to life in this entertaining, complex novel. An unnecessary death during a routine raid to steal horses comes close to causing deadly war between two tribes, and a truce must be arranged. Alane, the daughter of one chief, marries Nardo, the son of the other chief. Many teens will easily identify with her difficulty settling into a new life, especially with her mother-in-law, as many of them must cope with adjusting to new stepfamilies. The complex plot then centers on alliances and battle strategies as hunting grounds shift and a new enemy of both tribes must be conquered. The major characters are well developed, with attitudes and problems similar to ours today: love, hate, jealousy, desire for power. The list of all personages in the beginning is essential to keep tribal allegiances straight. The one map is helpful in sorting out distances and direction. A compelling look at a very different era.
