Still stuck in my memory!

I read this book, People of the River, almost two years ago... but its still stuck in my memory. This book was so vivid and realistic that I felt like I was there with the characters. The little dreamer Lichen was so young and innocent, and I could feel how strong she wanted to help her people out of their troubles. I think one of the best scenes of the book was the opening scene, it was realistic and full of hard meaning. After reading this book, I let my sister read it, and she has never returned it to me. I still wonder what happened to it, it must have been really good, since I haven't got it back from her. I've read People of the Earth, People of the Fire, People of the Mist and People of the Lightning, and they were all excellently written. But, I feel that the only one that comes as close to People of the River in quality is People of the Mist. I have just placed my orders with Amazon.com for People of the Lakes, People of the Sea, and People of the Silence, and should be recieving them soon. I look forward to staying up till 2 in the morning, glued to the pages and characters in each book!!

It was a powerful story... It totally stunned me

This is one of the best books I've ever read (along with all the other books of the people series). It was a tale of love, and dispute, and surprising turns. What can I say... it can capture any reader with it's plot. Everything in this book ties into the end. I would DEFINATELY recommend this book.

The History is wonderful.

I though this book was pretty good. I liked the way the child Lichen was potrayed. In some books children are portayed as innocent or stupid, but in this one Lichen was pretty wise for her age. I can't wait to read People of the Lake. I have read the three before Poeple of the River but that is all. I would recamend it to anyone who loves history.

To set you straight....

The long review referring to the Mask of Many Colored Crow is not actually about People of the River. It's about People of the Lakes, my favorite book. However, People of the River is extremely excellent as well. This story especially touched me, a young reader, because of its heroine Lichen, who is only ten. I was twelve when I first read this book. It DOES contain mature subject matter probably unsuitable for kids, but if you appreciate excellent writing, you have to read this

An epic story that tantilized the imagination

Another great book by Gear. This novel ties into the other series in a great way. The epic formalities and occurences are tantilizing to the era that this novel occured in. No loose ends and the ending leaves you to wonder how the next novel will tie into the others. One troubled area is at the end of the novel with the final battle scene with Bagertail and Patega. Throughout the book we are filled with fine details of occurences and when we get to this scence we are suddenly transported ahead in time to the end of the battle and the surrender of Bagertail. Kind of disappointed.
