Review by Brandy<\/p>\n

Hi everyone, I\u2019m back with a new review and this time it is a little different than my usual book genre,<\/div>\n
but I like to mix things up here and there. I would recommend this book for older teens and up. There is<\/div>\n
no explicit content but there are some hunting related scenes that might upset younger readers.<\/div>\n
I think this book is interesting and I did enjoy thinking about what it was like for early people to try to<\/div>\n
tame wild horses. Before this book I didn\u2019t really think about people using horses for food as a regular<\/div>\n
occurrence as in my thoughts it was only something that would happen as a last result due to horses<\/div>\n
now being considered valuable. So, I did have to stop and think about that for a moment, and it does<\/div>\n
make sense as the wild horses would have been more abundant than they are now.<\/div>\n
This story follows Naya, a teen girl who is the daughter of the chief of her clan. She is a bit of a tom boy<\/div>\n
and other people in the clan look down on her a bit for it. She comes up with the idea of trying to tame a<\/div>\n
horse and while she is with a herd of horses there is an accident that changes everything. As she is<\/div>\n
dealing with the aftermath, she becomes friends with a boy who tries to help her with the horses.<\/div>\n
Unfortunately, her actions change the lives of her mother and father, possibly for the worse as the chief<\/div>\n
has enemies waiting for any chance to take away his influence and power.<\/div>\n
While I liked the book, I think the pace was a bit slow here and there and it kept me from being really on<\/div>\n
the edge of my seat in some of the tenser situations. The ending has a bit of a cliff hanger, but you can<\/div>\n
kind of see where the story is heading. The book was smaller than what I thought it was as there is a<\/div>\n
section in the back where the author talks about what methods she used to research for this book as<\/div>\n
well as translations and descriptions of uncommon terms.<\/div>\n
