Wow, how did I not find this series sooner! These books are amazing! The story is so well thought out, and really grips you from the beginning. I really loved the history that was woven into the story. I have always loved Native American culture, so naturally I just soaked up the stories, legends, and history told. Then there's Skylar and Rafael, oh lord, they have made themselves right at home at the top of my favorite list! Their relationship and how it evolves is so precious. I loved how Skylar would catch Rafael staring at him, and through the writing, you just knew how Rafael felt about him. Not to mention his love for books, and his drawing... loved when Skylar would look over at him, and his nose would be in a book, or he would be drawing... obvious to the world, around him. But always knew what Skylar was doing, or thinking. Skylar is just adorable, there is no other word I can describe him as. Having no voice, he is always smiling, always concerned about everyone else. So sweet, and innocent. Their relationship is a slow process, but so enjoyable to read. The story involves everyone on the Reservation, and you can't help but love everyone.This series is really a amazing read, the writing is fabulous, Rose Christo is an amazing story teller, and advocate. She really sheds light on the many issues plaguing her people, and after learning about these (more then horrifying) issues, I was very eager to go off and read more, and sign the petitions she offered.Highly recommend this series, and anything by Rose Christo! And $0.99 for over 5,000 locations is ridiculously awesome!
