Tanya Landman vividly describes the apache society using terms such as moons and summers instead of years. Although the story didn't involve many cliffhangers, it was quite motivational and very empowering. She did a superb job in covering the three basics of any good story about a culture: war, society, and religion. The formal, and somewhat informal, language makes it seem as though the reader is merely a stranger being told Siki's life story. Landman excellently describes Siki's mental development after her brother's death and the manner in which she chose to deal with his dealt. I would recommend this novel to anyone who enjoys reading about Native American or tribal cultures, subtle action stories, and anyone who likes to read about inner struggles.
