Loading... The Shaman's Game (Shaman Mysteries) (1998)by James D. Doss
None. Dark Charlie Moon mystery well leavened by his devious wacky aunt Daisy. With an interesting ending that ties the trail of Native American mysticism off nicely. (  ) jamespurcell | Jun 25, 2010 |  “And all my days are trances, And all my nightly dreams Is where thy gray eye glances? And where thy footstep gleams--- In what ethereal dances, By what eternal streams. Edgar Allen Poe – from one in paradise… “It is not known how many days the dance will last. It is like an angel comes and stands by his bed while he is sleeping and tells him he should be Sun Dance Chief, and tells him how he should run the dance, and how long it should be.” ___ Anne M. Smith, Ethnography of the Northern Utes…'thirsty Dancing'..This book was haunting but it also had laughter and was light and got darker at the end- it has unusal ending . It is one of those transformative stories that authors use to change directions with characters in a long running series. The author uses the differences in gender and age with grace and humor. He also shows the differences in perceptions that we all have of each other with the same grace and humor. It sets the stage where the focus becomes “Charlie Moon” and Daisy although Scott Paris is still the faithful friend… I still am waiting for some kind of Celtic – Druid connection between him and Daisy. (  ) ckNikka | Mar 27, 2009 | Enjoyable series. I think the whole series averages out to a four star review. Less serious than Tony Hillerman, more so than Carl Hiaasen. The locale, as with most of these Southwestern mystery novels, is a real part of the draw! If Daisy Perika's old homestead were real and being offered to me, I would be packing my bags instead of pecking away at this computer. The characters are likeable, the stories interesting (especially the first ten or so) if occasionally a liitle over the top. Mr. Doss includes just a touch of the supernatural, that I usually find attractive. All in all I find the stories wonderfully escapist.. all that I look for in fiction. While not necessary, I would recommend reading the stories in order if possible. ( ) jastbrown | Jan 13, 2009 | no reviews | add a review
