(review in English below)
Tenho pena de não ter tido tempo para escrever algo consistente sobre todos os livros desta trilogia.
Apesar de se tornar algo repetitiva nalguns aspectos (sobretudo nas referências às construções, ferramentas, utensílios, alimentação, etc.), a história nunca perde o ritmo, havendo sempre algo a acontecer que nos prende a atenção e nos mantém preocupad@s com o destino dos personagens.
Embora possa tornar-se um pouco cansativo, recomendo ler os 3 livros de seguida, pois são muitas personagens, de várias tribos diferentes, que estabelecem relações e se movimentam entre as diferentes povoações, tornando o acompanhamento da acção por vezes desafiante.
Gostei mais dos dois primeiros volumes, provavelmente por se centrarem mais em personagens femininas e nos seus problemas e preocupações, mas também na sua força e resiliência.
Recomendo esta trilogia especialmente a quem se interesse por ficção pré-histórica, pois parece estar baseado numa pesquisa extensa e rigorosa do modo de viver dos povos do Alasca nesta época (cerca de 7000 anos a.C).
I regret not having had the time to write something consistent about all books in this trilogy.
While somewhat repetitive regarding some aspects (mostly when talking about the constructions, tools, food, etc.), the story keeps the pace; there's always something happening that draws you in and keeps you wondering about the characters' fate.
Although it may become a bit tiresome, I would recommend reading all 3 books in a row, because there's a lot of characters from several tribes, establishing relationships and moving from one settlement to another, which makes it sometimes difficult to keep up with what's going on.
I enjoyed the first two books more, probably due to the fact that they focus more on female characters, their problems and worries, but also their strength and resilience.
I recommend this trilogy especially to those who are interested in pre-historical fiction, as it seems to be based in extensive and thorough research on the way of living of Alaskan people at this time (around 7000 BC).

The last book in the trilogy and I am so sad I have finished. These characters are wonderful, her writing style is easy going and clear, the dialog between characters is believable, and her historical elements are just so as to help you create in your mind the world in which they live. Through the three books she has created several generations and stories of families and how they have interacted with one another, in addition to creating five distinct tribes of people and having them interact with one another. A must read for any age group and anyone interested in early Native American people.

So much great, but...
There is so much I have loved about this series. The authentic world she has created, her dedication to detail that is historically accurate and some really wonderful characters. By this third book though I found her antagonist archetype redundant and tiresome. Qakan and Waxtal might as well be the same character, both arrogant, ignorant and delusional men. Raven started as something more but degraded to basically the same. So by the time I got through this one, I am thoroughly tired of them. The books would have been better if not so much time was dedicated to their point of view- or gave them some semblance of self awareness. Unquestioned delusions made them shallow and uninteresting. Even so, I would recommend the series since there so many other things that make it very interesting.

I found this Trilogy (Mother Earth, Father Sky; My Sister the Moon; Brother Wind) fascinating. Sue Harrison did extensive research on the Native Americans and the Ice Age - it took her nine years to write the first novel in this series. Harrison blends the story of families with strong women, men who were seal, whale, and walrus hunters with the harsh environment in which they lived at the frozen top of the world. I especially liked the author's very detailed descriptions of the Native American's use of every bit of what they had on the islands to make their food, shelters, and clothing. Absolutely nothing was wasted from the fish, seals, walrus and whales. This would be an excellent series to use as a teaching tool for middle to high school age students.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The third and final book in the Ivory Carver Trilogy was a fitting grand finale to the best series I’ve read in a long time. It continues the story of Kiin but adds another character Kukutux who is widowed and mourns the death of her husband and son. Gray bird, now known as Waxtal, also plays a big role in the third story. Harrison managed to bring a full array of human emotion, greed, and cruelty as well as gentleness and love to her prehistoric Native Americans from 9000 years ago. I throughly enjoyed all three novels and would highly recommend them as well as suggesting that they be read in order.

I hate to say it, but this book is somewhat disappointing. As an Auel fan I was hoping this would be similar to something of hers. Sue Harrison writes a decent story, but it's not as gripping as I would like it to be. I think it might have needed a little more action. But maybe that's just the guy in me... I'll let you know more when I finish it.
Okay, finished the book. It picked up towards the end and had a good finish. Not sur if I'd read it again, but I might be willing.

Not as good as the first 2 but I think that had to do with the extreme amount of new characters introduced and the switching perspectives (which I do enjoy) but it was hard to keep it all clear as I was reading so I read slower which was fine. I am sad to have ended the series and look forward to starting the authors's next series.

The end of the trilogy! I enjoyed this series; it was full of great historical detail, even though many parts were difficult to read, and I enjoyed the characters very much, especially Kiin. It’s a story of hope and hardship, and I am happy it ended the way it did. It was beautiful and I’m grateful I was finally able to find this series and read it. 💙

I've owned this signed first edition since 1994 but I don't believe I ever finished reading it until now. My first baby was young and kept me busy back then; it was fun to find a 25-year-old coupon for baby wipes embedded a third through the book! I enjoyed the story, it kept me engaged and wanting more...I read the last 200 pages in one day because I didn't want to put it down. The sadness and tragedy continues for Kiin in this third piece of the story but throughout all of it, there is a sense of hope and endurance.

The last of the triolgy, finally all the pieces of the puzzle are in place and it is good! Although I am a bit disappointed by the predictable conclusion, it was wrapped up a little too neatly. The stories come full circle and the characters are so well developed that their spirits seem to rise up out of the pages. My thirst for more about the people, their customs and ultimate survival is satisfied. I will read more books written by this author in the future.

I love pre-historical fiction especially when someone takes the time to do the research necessary for a book of fiction to be entirely plausible. I found it interesting that new main characters emerged during the course of the trilogy as other main characters played less of a part. It was a more realistic view of how life moves through time.
June 7, 2022
even though every chapter follows a different character on their journey. they are all connected. its easy to read and get lost in their lives. just as with her other two in this series. I am enjoying this one and dont want to put the book down.

Nice to read close to the previous book in the series. Didn’t like how it followed Wajax, the man I didn’t like, instead of Kiin, but it told the complete story and how the tribes merged to find new hope and new methods of living. She mentions another trilogy - must investigate.

This book is absolutely amazing. The author’s writing style is so addictive that it is difficult to put the book down and you begin to crave her writing. I love how the book ends with Chagak, as though it was Chagak’s story all along, and I believe it was.
Everything flowed together very nicely and even though it was an unexpected ending, just like the endings of Mother Earth Father Sky and My Sister The Moon, it did not seem abrupt like the author decided to write it last minute like many books with twist or just unexpected endings.
I did not expect Kukutux to get together with Owl and to be fair my first impression of him wasn’t that great. I thought he was more like his brother and only wanted Kukutux for his bed - which was definitely what the author made it seem like. It was very unexpected but I’m happy they got together though I would like to know more about Owl’s background.
I knew all along that Kiin would make it back to Samiq, but I really thought that Raven would find her at the Ugyuun village and bring her to Dyenen along with Shuku. It kinda seemed that Shuku being taken by Lemming Tail instead of the Ugyuun baby was Kiin’s fault since she did leave him with Small Plant Woman, who obviously would not make the same choices as Kiin, rather than watch over him herself. But that may just be me since my mom often told me she trusted no one with my bro and I when we were babies because she always wanted to watch over us herself and didn’t trust the decisions other people would make. Either way it did add some spice to the story and it all flowed very well.
I feel bad for Three Fish because of how she is treated after all she has been through. It’s obvious that Samiq really doesn’t love her and everyone just sees her as a loud woman who says some stuff she’s not supposed to. Even though she isn’t the most observant or most beautiful I do believe that Samiq should treat her better but I’m happy Kiin, although gets annoyed with her at times, for the most part treats her as a sister and respects her.
I don’t exactly believe that Lemming Tail deserves the fate she received even though she really wasn’t a good person. I do have some respect for her because of her love for her son - though at times she was not the best mother. I don’t think Dyenen was right to choose to trade her and keep her son - even though the plan never followed through - and should’ve just sent her and her son away to either wander or return to the Walrus People. I’m glad Mouse at least lived and was given a chance.
I never exactly liked Small Knife. He always answered and acted “like a man” even though he was still a boy and it just seemed like his character was kinda pushed like he should’ve been shown as more boy-like rather than like a grown man. His death was unexpected but I wasn’t necessarily upset about it since I never liked him in the first place.
Despite my small complaints that I mentioned in this review, Brother Wind is worth every star. This book was amazing and probably my favorite of the series. Would definitely recommend.

A fine finale
I have found such joy in this series, and part of it is in how each one re-creates a new and different piece of the world of the Aleutian islands, and then it is clearer and clearer that these peoples lives all connected at various touch points. Watching how, in this final book, they all began to move towards each other was truly wonderful! This book is in someways is more from men’s points of view and works more with men’s struggles and demons in a way that I found very compelling. Nevertheless, the strong female figures that are so important to all of the books are made ever present and had some very important sections in this one as well. There are also some truly harrowing moments in this one that kept me up later than I wanted to see how in the world various things would be resolved. You will enjoy it! You will enjoy it even more if you’ve read the first two.

This was my favorite of the three books in this series. There was still plenty of violence, but it felt less gratuitous this time. I also really enjoyed the multiple character perspectives. I looked forward to reading each day and kept finding myself trying to jump ahead to find out what happens. I love that it isn't predictable. I also loved that the world felt very real.
My only major concern, and it is a big one, is the massive cultural appropriation. As the author even notes in the book, it is a mash-up of a variety of native tales, stories, customs, histories. Yes, they are acknowledged, not claimed as her own. But it still felt so wrong for them to be used this way by someone who has no claim to all of those heritages. I am not sure I can reconcile that.

Good storytelling. I had all three books in this series in a single ePub (1115 pages) and just completed all three, last night. I will say that it felt like the third book was a bit rushed. Also, it felt like maybe the author... did she have a stroke or something else happen? Just, the grammar took a bit of a dive. Every page or two had a cringy, "Almost, she did a thing..." (vs. "She almost did a thing..."). Is it just me, or is that awkward af? And, tons of spelling errors, missed incorrect words, etc. Maybe she had always written like this, but the editors proof-read better on the first two? -shrug-
Anyway, I dug them enough to seek out another similar pre-history series she talks about writing in her final pages. I hope that really happened.

Another enchanting book that finishes this trilogy. Sue Harrison's writing makes you really connect with these first peoples who settled around the Alaskan Peninsula. You get an insight of how life might have been, and probably was, for these hunters and gatherers fishing the sea for their food and clothes, making everything they needed to survive and believing in spirits connected to nature that would help them in their everyday struggle for survival. Their life was so hard but they were in tune with, and understood, their environment.

I really enjoyed this novel about some of the "first men" of the Aleutian Islands. The story revolved around two brothers who were born at the same time. There are multiple characters with all sorts of names and places that were a little hard to keep track of. That is one of the problems with a Kindle. There was a map and glossary in the book that would have been really helpful, but it is hard to flip to the front or back of a book on Kindle. This book was the third in a trilogy by this author. I will likely read Books 1 & 2 ... Book 3 was that engaging.
January 17, 2023
I cannot say enough about this book - it was a wonderful read. Though it is fiction, the life lessons that are dealt with here are many and are instructive: making tough decisions; respecting self and others; acting for self versus others; good versus bad; domestic violence; love; friendship and more. All this in a setting 7,000 BCE. Absolutely spellbinding, anxiety-provoking and joyous. It is not necessary, but I would highly recommend reading the trilogy in sequence.

Satisfying conclusion to the Ivory Carver Trilogy. The author did a good job tying up loose ends, giving answers to pressing questions (Why did grandmother and aunt spend all of their time making death mats?) and even a little epilogue that gave us a glimpse into the future.
If you've read the first two books, a must-read.

The third the a trilogy, the story concept is similar to clan of the cave bear. Although I read all 3 books and enjoyed some of the Native Alaskan tribal history and legends, I struggled with the contemporary concepts grasped by people of 7000 years ago - such as identifying as aunt by blood relationship.
July 5, 2019
I always enjoy historical fiction and find it to be quite a good read as long as you remember that it is someone's interpretation of the past and should not be taken as 100% true fact. The writing style of this series is quite good and I really felt invested in the characters and their personal stories. I find this series to be a perfect summer beach read.
February 4, 2022
I liked the ending and the way she summed up the fate of all of the characters. I enjoyed this trilogy very much. I did find it hard to keep all of the many characters straight in my mind and which tribes they were in - they all had so many odd names which made it harder. But overall a good read....
January 19, 2024
This is the last installment in the Ivory Carver trilogy and overall, I am pleased with the ending. Justice was served and despite the personal tragedies, most of the righteous characters had a somewhat happily ever after. However, there is a lot of sexual violence and graphic content so I wish the author had given readers a disclaimer or trigger warning at the beginning.
January 10, 2020
The thrilling conclusion to this faraway trilogy. I've read them before, but this was the first time as audio. Wonderfully done, with an awesome reader. This is full of reunions, loss, and love. Absolutely wonderful.

Brilliant Trilogy
Could not put down any of the books in this trilogy. Wonderful characters, stories, imagery. You felt like you were right there with each story within a story. Compelling.

Unique
I often think to Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean Auel as a favorite book. That is what lead me to this trilogy. It is very different, but the setting of 7000 BCE drew me in. I thoroughly enjoyed the story.

Put it down halfway through. There wasn't a whole lot pulling me forward so I simply brought it back to the library. The 3rd book in the series had potential, it didn't seem to have much of a point other than highlighting various struggles with the particular women of the tribes.
August 22, 2023
Though I loved the ongoing generational saga. This 3rd in the series was highly erratic and full of tragic drama. Poorly and quickly written without all the descriptive narrative of the first two books in this series.
