At 1st, reading this was slow-going for me. Since the style of the writing was an attempt to be as accurately as possible based on research into a people long-since gone, this writing was appropriately stunted in its ideas. But Ribeiro does a good job of evoking this world & certainly managed to engage me in the lives of the characters. Her comparison between the 2 main tribes represented was particularly fascinating - similarly effective to me as was the movie "Quest for Fire". & there was plenty of dramatic action to suck in any reader of novels looking for thrills.
