Time Circle Series #2
Ørnens stemme
In VOICE OF THE EAGLE, Linda Lay Shuler continues her Time Circle Quartet as Kwani, "She Who Remembers," her mate Tolonqua and their newborn son begin their trek to Cicuye, Tolonqua's home.
Cicuye is a pueblo city, an outpost where desert canyons meet the verdant buffalo range. Danger lurks there, for marauding tribes prey on the village with savage ferocity.
Kwani and Tolonqua argue for a new city, fortified and safe, high on the ridge. But others fear leaving their ancestral home. With battle near, this split within threatens the town's survival as much as the gathering tribes without.
"Historically valid and carefully reconstructed, this story of life in America prior to its discovery by Columbus kindles the imagination." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)

5 STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OUTSTANDING!
Reading this giant 700 page masterpiece was a GIFT! It was a beautiful blessing just to get so wrapped up in this story.....and I am so excited for book # 3 in the series to arrive at my house....I ordered it online....I think this is the greatest book series that has ever been written and I will be reccommending it to people until I can no longer talk. : )
Book one is: She Who Remembers
Book 2 is: Voice of The Eagle......and it is even more outstanding and whirlwind adventure-ish than book one!
Book 3 is: : Let The Drum Speak.
So get out and buy them, honestly...if you love a great book that sweeps you away and you cannot put it down then this is for you!

The book started off slowly, and I made the mistake of comparing it to Jean Auel, who in my opinion cannot be surpassed in this genre. I think it took me a bit to get into the flow of the story, which was meandering. I'm not sure if the pace picked up, or I finally settled into it, but after about 200 pages I was immersed in the story (The books is just over 600 page). Kwani's story became the story of her mate, her children, her adopted people. It seemed to be very well researched and well written, with the exception of the dialog, which had the feel of an exchange in English between non-native-English speakers. However, once I got absorbed in the story, this didn't even catch my attention.

I really enjoyed this book by Linda Lay Shuler. I have looked for other books by her in the second hand book stores but haven't found any. If you liked Clan of the Cave Bear you'll love this book and even if you haven't read Clan of the Cave Bear you may love this book because it is a lighter story. It has some magic...the old kind, from back in the 'cave man' type days where they believed the spirits ruled their lives and prayed to all the goods. The main characters are very endearing.

I read this book with high hopes that it would fill a void after reading one of Jean Auel's books. It was a bit of fun to read, but left me a bit wanting. Too much drama for even a fantasy book. It's an easy read, perhaps too easy.

Nice enough sequel to She Who Remembers. Reading more for the recreation of the pueblo vs plain Indians lifestyles than anything else.

This is a terrific follow on from ' She Who Remembers', you can image that these ancient people and their lives in their little settlements were just how Linda Lay Shuler depicts them. Their beliefs, rituals, ceremonies and taboos are both realistic and acceptable for for this period in South America's history. The story is full of adventure, competitiveness and jealousies with characters that are well defined and having little idiosyncrasies and foibles just like modern man.

Great way to learn and have fun
This book is a great way to learn to understand ancient Anasazi culture and thinking and escape into a world of romance and adventure. I thoroughly enjoyed it ....

A book in the grand scale that I adore! I devoured this second in the Kwani series. I loved the characters and the rich characterizations of the everyday life of the Native Americans of the American southwest. There is much we could learn from them.
My only slightly negative comment I'd that, at times I found this story line tiresome and redundant. It seemed to boil down to two boys disobeying - once again - and bringing down havoc. It was just too obvious and predictable. Ms. Schuler was too good a writer to have to return to the same jumping off point over and over again. But, on the whole an a book the was enjoyable and well worth reading.

Second in a three book series that is a remarkable book. The author's research and incredible story telling abilities made this a book you couldn't put down. It has everything in it: family, religion, suspense, sex, action, scenery, possessions (jewelry,etc.). I feel I now know so much about these ancient people and look forward to visiting the ruins.

What an amazing series (three books) by a well known historian of the Anasazi - the Ancient Ones.
The book follows generations of Anasazi as their world changes around them. For those who have visited the ancient cliff dwellings and pueblos and wondered what mysteries those rocks might hold, this series gives the closest thing we will find to a look inside the lives of The Ancient Ones.

January 10, 2016The second book in the series is just as good as the first. This picks up where the first finishes and takes you on another journey full of love, sacrifice, and lessons learned. I can't wait to read the third book but I will be sad to see the stories and history end. I believe this is a must read series!

It is rewarding to imagine the ancestors who preceded a us
Native American historical fiction. What was it like for the Anasazi's and plains tribes before the European invasion....when nature was sacred and ceremonies honored the natural rhythms of the seasons and humans lived in kinship with all of the creatures on the earth

"Historically valid and carefully reconstructed, this story of life in America prior to its discovery by Columbus kindles the imagination." I love these type of books that have a historical scenario, yet a compelling fictional story telling. Read the synopsis of this book and you'll understand why I like them.

The second book in the 'She Who Remembers' series. I haven't read this for ages, but they were brilliant when you were hungry for a story similar to Clan of the Cave Bear but still unique in it's own right. I can absolutely recommend this series if you're thinking of trying it. Four stars.

This is the 2nd book of a 3 book series. LOVED this one...reminds me of what I have forgotten, of all that I am and once was. If you are interested in Native American history and/or spiritual beliefs, this series is a must! Onto the 3rd one now!

Great saga
Book 2 if the saga of Pueblo Indians was just as powerful as the first book. I can't wait to start book three. As worth the Jean Auel series, I couldn't put the books down but was sad when I read them all.
