Kindle W. Michael Gear â People of the Sea MOBI å People of PDF/EPUB ² â people free, People of free, People of the Sea KindleLayered With Adventure and HeartI love how the Gears write an opener to each of the stories that is set in modern times I enjoy the way they link the past to the present I also appreciate how the issues of today are echoed in the truths of the ancientsThis tale has domestic abuse incest and strife It shows the impact of environmental change on its society and how it literally altered the landscape of the world I was so sad with the loss of the Mammoths especially as I see so many species in danger of extinction todayThe Gears hit the mark again by writing intriguing characters exciting adventures and surprising twists The struggle for Kestrel to find independence from an abusive husband withstand a birth unaided while being pursued and battling to survive in a prehistoric landscape are incredible To add the layer of emotion that allows the reader to connect to the insecurities of the Dreamer and the sense of being abandoned by the spirit wo

Michael Gear â People of the Sea MOBI å People of PDF/EPUB ² â people free, People of free, People of the Sea KindleAlthough the descriptions of plants and animals and people was intriguing in the end its basically a downer too much violence and hatred the dying mammoths the sickness of the people all contribute to this being depressing
Kindle W. Michael Gear â People of the Sea MOBI å People of PDF/EPUB ² â people free, People of free, People of the Sea KindleIn essence this is the story of a young wife who escapes her homicidal husband after suffering domestic violence and turning to another man because of loneliness Her lover is killed and she flees pursued Running parallel with this and gradually intermeshing is the tale of a spiritual leader struggling to understand the changes taking place in his world Now put this story back a few thousand years into just post glacial America and a whole new dimension opens upMy only problem with the Gears is that they always start with a scientific stance the evidence of archeological digs and research yet introduce fantasy elements such as real contact with spirits witchcraft possession etc that contradict the physical One has to be patient with this unfortunate anomaly because the stories are often uite entertaining but they would work just as well with a bit of harsh reality
Kindle W. Michael Gear â People of the Sea MOBI å People of PDF/EPUB ² â people free, People of free, People of the Sea KindleThis is the third or fourth book that I've read in this series and the stories are beginning to feel a bit too formulaic I did not enjoy this one as much as the others Seemed to drag on too long Insertion of patriarchal gender roles and strict monogamy seems forced When Wolfdreamer speaks to Sunchaser about the civilization that will develop in that area far in the future it smacks of impressing colonial and Western ideals of progress on an Indigenous culture Any of the text in Italics boredlost me I still garnered mild enjoyment from reading it hence the three stars
