It was good, the story is interesting. I think it needs a little more imagination so all the books don't fall into the same boring thing.

Pyles does some interesting things marrying widely different legends. In lesser hands, setting a novel in the 1800s, throwing the mythology of the Texas Rangers plus a Romanian folklore's monster in to vat and mixing them up would lead to an unpalatable mess. In this novel, however, the end result is a sweet and savory treat. There are lots of meaty bits to sink your teeth into, with fantastic protagonists and a charming, delusional, deadly villain hunting them down. Since this is listed as "Book 1", I'm hopeful for more of Tom Wall and Veronique the future!

Hurago is a story of love sought, love discovered, love redeemed, love cherished and love protected.  Several couples find their soulmates on Hurago, but not without trial and error, and tests of their deepest emotions.
But those who would defy the paranormal elements of the island will pay the price....and that's all I'll say!
There are generous servings of suspense, love and the paranormal in Hurago.  Curl up and enjoy a great read!

I liked the native legend angle and that it was set in Alaska. Good use of the landscape. A love triangle and friends having to unite to fight the enemy.  It is a very action packed paranormal story. Lots of the unexpected.

For those who are interested in Amerindians it is very interesting and shows the tragic treatment of the native people. It gives an interesting perspective not usual in Amerindian literature. Believable however.

The story reminds me of a native legend from long ago where there are wonders and supernatural beings living amongst the peoples. It takes place in the far north tundra where the wild deer run along with the trangl who are daimons that can change from men to golden reindeer. Caribou is only 12 years old, an orphan living by herself away from the tribe who are scared of her because of her ability to foresee by her dreams and reading things in her surroundings. She raises a trangl infant given to her by her sister-in-law and calls him Reindeer.  This is a story of the love between a mortal human and a daimon trangl who being a daimon does not understand human emotions like love, sorrow, but being raised by a human, he experiences feelings foreign to a trangl when it comes to Caribou.

I love this book! I think the Hades/Persephone myth was beautifully recreated here with a different approach. I like the idea that Persephone ran off with Hades, and staged the abduction to get away from her mother. I always felt that if Persephone wanted to get away. or leave the underworld she was capable of it! According to my readings about Ancient Greece grooms often carried off their brides in a chariot after the ceremony.

I really enjoyed this book.  For one thing, while the author used a subject we all have at least heard of (bigfoot), everything about this story is unique.  I found it so refreshing, and the book is anything but predictable.  I loved the characters and found I got more invested in the story the more I got to know them.  For me, the book wasn't a fast read, but I don't mean that as a bad thing.  The story is an adventure, but it also makes you ponder and goes deep. I recommend this book if you're interested in these legends, but also if you're looking for something that is different and refreshing.  I look forward to reading more books from this author.

Huatay Curi, the son of the mountain spirit Paria Caca, has a name that means both Potato Eater and orphan.  The latter is because although Paria Caca, the spirit of the Andean highlands could make a baby appear on the mountaintops and name him Huatya Curi he could not embrace the son he had made because he was imprisoned inside five enormous eggs balanced on the twin peaks of Condor Coto Mountain.  Paria Caca was imprisoned because his people were divided and until the people of the valley and the wilds of the highland become one family, the great spirit would remain trapped.  Of course it falls to Huatya Curi to bring this about and the young man known as Potato Eater faces a series of challenges that he must pass to win a worthy bride, unite his people and free his father.
As retold by Melind Lilly this Peruvian myth is not just an adventure story but an argument for the political unity of a people.  Before the story begins young readers are told of Paria Caca's Law: "Tucoy hinantin huc yuric canchic" ("We are all one family").  Young readers expecting the five condors of the title to be an important part of the plot will probably be surprised to see the role they actually play.  Huatya Curi has to deal with the obstacle of Kama Chiq, the greedy chief of the great Vauyo village in the valley, who keeps coming up with challenges for our hero to face in his quest to wed the lovely Chaupi Naca.  The story is illustrated by Charles Reasoner, who makes use of rich colors throughout the book.  Reds, browns, oranges, and purples are all just gorgeous to look at.  I especially like the way Reasoner colors all of the different stones that make up a house or each distinctive part of the clothing worn by the characters with different colors and shades.  If you were to think of an artist using every color in a giant box of crayons on virtually every page, then you have an idea of what you will find in the artwork of this volume.
"Huatya Curi and the Five Condors" is based on an unnamed myth from the "Tratado of Huarochirf" manuscript that was written for Francisco de Avila in 1608, and if one of the myths of the Huarochiri (or Quechua Indians) of Peru.  This volume is part of the Latin American Tales and Myth series which also includes "Aletin and the Falling Sky," "Mira and the Stone Tortoise," "The Moon People," "Song of the Sun," and "The Snake's Toothache."  A companion series looks at African Tales and Myths and as far as I know all of the volumes in both series are retold by Lilly and illustrated by Reasoner.

A unique way to write about an obsession, unreturned love, and the impact it has on many lives.  The setting is a small town in NH in the 1900's.  This book intrigued me because of many angles.  The physical obsession that  Nicholas Van Tassel has on Etna.  Etna is an intelligent and unique women for her era.  In Nicholas's words the story is written during the course of his train ride to Florida to see his daughter that he hasn't seen in over twenty years.  The story is told exclusively from Nicholas point of view, with the exception of the letters exchanged between Etna and her would be lover, creates gaps in what really happened.  The gaps are ok, it adds to the sense of Nicholas and his obsession.  He even makes up what happens in the gaps at times.  Not a book I thought I would enjoy, but I did!  I love Anita Shreve's writing style.  It allows you to see the multiple dimensions of character (even if the character can be unlikeable at times), the era, and get a feeling for what it might be like, in a way that is part of the excellent storytelling.

This is a good story of The People of the southwest. A legend, true or not but good lore. Well written and presented.
