I think that this was a very good first novel. I felt drawn into the story from the first page.The author is very descriptive and I could easily picture each character and where they were at. The story changes perspective often, but I had no trouble figuring out which character was doing the thinking at any given moment.I really enjoyed Jenna's character. She struck me as brave, smart and caring. I did find that at time she acted in a childish and naive manner, but those instances made sense based on her age and experience. Her relationships with the various characters within the book, especially Wise Moon and Willow Plume, were fun. I loved seeing the way Jenna and so many other characters were able to overcome their own racism.There are two things that caused me to give this four stars instead of five. First, I felt that the story was a little too long. I was ready for Jenna and Running Wolf to end up together when Yellow Moon was banished. I wanted Jenna to have some peace. The second reason is the first sex scene with Jenna and Running Wolf. I felt that even a little tipsy he should have behaved a lot better.
