Falling Star

Red with Native Blood, Novella 2

De: Randal Nerhus, Marjorie Carter

Narrado por: Aubriana Harshfield

A Native American seer and shaman pens a powerful YA novel based on a vision of an 1870s Apache battle.

In Volume Two, Falling Star, listeners follow the journey of Falling Star of a Cheyenne village in present-day Wyoming. The 14-year-old girl is taught the spiritual ways of the Cheyenne by an old shaman, Raven’s Wing. Star has a vision telling her to go to Canada, and as her group makes their way north, the white-eyes attack her tribe, killing Raven’s Wing and all of the rest. The soldiers depart and, as Star lies near death from a rifle shot, Thunder finds her and nurses her back to health.

The danger and violence continue when, on the girls’ journey together, Thunder is brutally violated by a trapper whom Star kills. They decide to turn south to search for Golden Eagle who, unknown to them, has escaped the white-eyes’ reservation to look for his beloved Thunder.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Talks Like Thunder will tear at your heart and take your soul on an emotional mission.” (Dennis Banks, author of Ojibwa Warrior and co-founder of the American Indian Movement (AIM))

“A terrific read!” (Bill Thompson, editor of Stephen King’s Carrie and John Grisham’s A Time to Kill)

Loved it.

Wow, I don’t think I could eloquently write how amazing this novella is. It’s a really good series and I enjoyed getting to know Falling Star. How she was born and how a hard life she has had to endure. I was so happy to see Thunder make her appearance and to see both girls unite with each other. While their journey has been both sad and victorious they still have high hopes and spirits will not be crushed.
I cannot wait to see what happens next.

Strong Sequel, Compelling Characters

A sequel as strong as the first, Falling Star is well worth the listen. One of many great qualities of this series is the characters, they are impossible not to become invested in. The narration is great, and truly brings the characters to life. Eager to listen to the third book.

AMAZING

I thought the first book was GREAT... I finished the 2nd and it was just as great as the last one. I recommend these books to any and all readers! If you haven't listened to them yet you are missing out!!!
