Song of the River

De: Sue Harrison

Narrado por: Stephen Bel Davies

Two ancient tribes on the verge of making peace become foes once more when a double murder jeopardizes a storyteller’s mission

Eighty centuries ago, in the frozen land that is now Alaska, a clubfooted male child had been left to die, when a woman named K’os rescued him. Twenty years later and no longer a child, Chakliux occupies the revered role as his tribe’s storyteller. In the neighboring village of the Near River people, where Chakliux will attempt to make peace by wedding the shaman’s daughter, a double murder occurs that sends him on a harsh, enthralling journey in search of the truth about the tragic losses his people have suffered, and into the arms of a woman he was never meant to love.

Song of the River is the first book of the Storyteller Trilogy, which also includes Cry of the Wind and Call Down the Stars.

I enjoyed the book

narrator was very good. I did not know who did it until it was told in the story. Kept me guessing and I still very was surprised.

Awesome

I loved these books so much. It hooked me right away I have already started re listening to it.

good one

Great book read a long time ago.cvA bit complicated at times, figuring out characters. Good. MN

rough beginning but stuck with it

I read the review about how horrible the story is because it was based on a rape. it is true that this is how it began but there is so much more to the story.

I enjoyed this book and can't wait to hear the next.

I like the narrator. he tries to add depth to the voices of the characters unlike the first trilogy narrator that drove me nuts.

Horrible narrator

Story lacked everything. Put me to sleep. Narrator's voice irritating. His story telling (his tone) made me feel like I was listening to story time in kindergarten. I will not listen to other books. He brought no life to the characters or story line.

Beach Book

The narrator was fine. The beginning of the book is dramatic and the mystery element was good. However, overall, this book was humdrum and oddly boring. I found myself losing interest in the characters and wishing the story would come to an end. I will not be reading the rest of the trilogy. I am so disappointed! But this would be fine for a beach read. Even if you nod off- you can still follow the story and not miss much.

Rape Revenge

Why villianize a woman getting a woman for getting revenge for rape and yet allow men in the same story revenge for lessor crimes. Rape ruins entire lives and happiness. Young trauma is nearly impossible to reverse.

NOT like Ivory Carver Trilogy

I just listened to all 3 books in the Ivory Carver Trilogy and I LOVED THEM. The narrator was great, the story line was great. I really enjoyed it. So I jumped right in to Song of the River and it SUCKKKKS. The narrator is terrible. I hate when men try to speak for a women. He sounds like Mrs. Doubtfire. And the story starts with rape, then the girl does some things afterwards that make me question the fact that the author is a woman because I couldnt never see shoving moss and leafs where the girl claims she did. Things got worse from there. I turned it off and came here to review and return! Its like someone else started writing under Sue's name. Weird.
