excellent story, characters and info into other cultures

liked all of it. Interesting plot, great settings and characters, plausible plot and good details about Navajo and Hopi and Anazazi and Ute history and culture although I am not really in a position to know how accurate the history is. Best book so far of his. I have read three in order.

Interesting, if a little melodramatic......

What did you love best about Ancient Blood?

It isn't Hillerman, but I enjoyed some of the explanations as to which tribes are invested in which part of Native history. I found some of the characters a lttle old fashioned, but it kept my interest.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Not exactly on the edge of my seat, but it interested me enough to finish the book! I felt slightly confused by much of the action. The plot was far less interesting than the interpretation and theory of what was discovered.

What about Kaipo Schwab’s performance did you like?

I liked the rather peaceful pace and humor of the narration. I found it relaxing and engaging.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I didn't listen to it all at once, but had I been driving perhaps. I liked the different ideas as to how the dead and history should be treated, found it something to reflect upon rather than to rush through.

pronunciation of local words

pronunciation of some of local things should have been corrected. Monticello. and Jiakarillo. for example. Navajo words well done

Hooked on a New Series

Love the characters and the story. The narrator is great! wait to hear the next book in the series. Love the Whispersync option so that you can read or listen.

Love It

OMG, listening about the adventures boys reminds me of home. The detail description of the houses, the people, the food just takes me back. I'm so happy Thomas was re-connected with his children. Say what you will but the strong belief in witches is true.
