In the Season of the Sun by Kerry Newcomb

lisadee's review against another edition

3.0

Many historically based novels are set during the years of westward expansion; Indian's fighting for tribal lands, and pioneers striking their claims. This book is multi-dimensional in that you get both side's viewpoints due to the background plot of a tale of two brothers separated as children. One brother being adopted into a Blackfoot family, the other raised by some of the outlaws who had a hand in the slaughter of the caravan carrying the boys, as well as many other families heading west. It is a test of blood being thicker than water as the brothers meet as adults and their ways of life clash. I enjoyed this book maybe a little more than 3 stars, but started to tire of the story near the end, thinking that the outcome was pretty clear by the last 100 pages.

At first I didn't like this book but it became more interesting as the story progressed. It's the story of two brothers whose parents were killed in a supposed ambush by Native Americans. One brother is raised by a man that was there the day of the ambush. The other brother is adopted and raised by a Blackfoot Indian man. Years later the two brothers encounter each other. There is a bit of romance in it. Each brother has a love interest. The ending is not a happy ending but expected. Overall, it's a good book.
