BENEATH THE SHINING MOUNTAINS-BY LINDA ACASTERBeneath the Shining Mountains should be listed withthe Classics. The story mesmerized me, with its rich detail and strongemotions--from both the heroine, and the hero and his friends, theApsaroke. It's a romance, yes, but the rules and hierarchy of thewarriors, and how they treasured honor above all else could be aprototype for any society who was ruled by a high official, and but alsoby the warriors and their code, as well. I felt as though I was in theNorthern Plains with Moon Hawk and Winter Man, and while I loved MoonHawk and her strength and courage, I did want to throw something atWinter Man just like Moon Hawk did. Linda showed us the truth of allsocieties, especially the early ones, in which the female had to followa much stricker set of rules than the men. You'll have to read this finestory to find out how they settled their differences! Yes, I say, too,this novel is a jewel, and I give it five stars. Loved it.CY-Romance Author, Reviewer
