Ancient Tahiti #2
Sister of the Sun
From Jean M. Auel's THE CLAN OF THE CAVE BEAR to Linda Lay Shuler's SHE WHO REMEMBERS, novels set among pre-historic cultures have shown a very strong appeal to readers of all types from fans of genre fantasy to historical to romance. E-Reads is pleased to offer a three-volume series--An Epic of Ancient Tahiti. In the first volume, DAUGHTER OF THE REEF, Tepua, the daughter of an atoll chief is stranded on an unknown island called Tahiti. Despite adversity and peril, she has made a life and found passion. In the second volume, SISTER OF THE SUN, years after she first landed on Tahiti, she returns to her home island to care for her dying father--and discovers that home can change. She faces challenges both brutal and overwhelming as a band of foreigners ruins the mystical beauty of her island and unleashes the savagery at the heart of her homeland. But Tepua is possessed of a passion all her own--one that could lead her people to war and destruction, one over which only she can possibly hold control, as the fate of all her people rests in her hands. Look for the third volume in the series, CHILD OF THE DAWN.

A wonderful story worth every penny! Hard to put down, this book is responsible for my lack of sleep recently. A definite must!
Sister of the sun is a beautiful novel and a wonderful sequel to the book, Daughter of the Reef. The main character is a strong female protagonist with a brave demeanor and a strong will. She defies the common female stereotypes and inspires the reader. The story is action packed and full of plot twists. The islands are brought to life with rich detail and an existential touch. You will likely end up with a strange urge to eat coconuts by the end of the book.
I have purchased the final book in the series and look forward to reading it!
The only problem with the book is the odd misspellings which inhabit the later portions of the book. The word “that”, often becomes, “mat”, as an example. I almost wonder if it was a formatting issue as they mistakes are not likely (m replacing th is strange, as are the differences in keyboard positons of the letters). The novel is very well laid out and written, further suggesting a formatting issue and not a genuine mistake. Either way, the errors are minor and easy to ignore. The book would be top on my list even if the errors were doubled.
