The complete saga of prehistoric Aleut tribal life in one volume “Under Harrison’s hand, ancient Alaska comes beautifully alive” (The Denver Post).
In Song of the River, eighty centuries ago, in the frozen land that is now Alaska, a clubfooted male child had been left to die, when a woman named K’os rescued him. Twenty years later and no longer a child, Chakliux occupies the revered role as his tribe’s storyteller. In the neighboring village of the Near River people, where Chakliux will attempt to make peace by wedding the shaman’s daughter, a double murder occurs that sends him on a harsh, enthralling journey in search of the truth about the tragic losses his people have suffered, and into the arms of a woman he was never meant to love.
In Cry of the Wind, Chakliux has one weakness the beautiful Aqamdax, who has been promised to a cruel tribesman she does not love. But there can be no future for Chakliux and Aqamdax until a curse upon their peoples has been lifted. As they travel a dangerous path, they encounter greater challenges than the harsh terrain and the long season of ice. K’os, the woman who saved Chakliux’s life when he was an infant, is now enslaved by the leader of the enemy tribe against whom she has sworn vengeance. To carry out her justice she will destroy anyone who gets in her way, even the storyteller she raised as her own son.
And in Call Down the Stars, a handsome young tribal warrior and sage, Yikaas has traveled across the sea to hear stories of the Whale Hunter and the Sea Hunter peoples. Around the fire, Qumalix, a beguiling and beautiful storyteller, barely old enough to be a wife, catches the eye of Yikaas, and so begins their flirtation through storytelling, which brings to vivid life tales of the Near River and Cousin River tribes. The fates of lovers Chakliux and Aqamdax, and their wicked nemesis K’os, are revealed as Yikaas and Qumalix weave together tales from their ancestors’ past—and tales from their own lives.

I love the era in which this was written (6 to 7000 years B.C.). I enjoy learning about how the early Alaskan natives differed from one group to another based on which island they were on, what their chief source of food was, and the natural resources available to them. I thought all six books in the two trilogies were extremely interesting. The only reason I didn't rate the author's writing as great is that I wished she would use spacing more effectively to show that she was switching from one location to another, from one time period to another, or from one character in one location to another character in another location. Other than that, the two trilogies are ones that I have told many people about because I find them so interesting. I also enjoyed learning about their superstitions, their religious beliefs, and their view of the afterworld.Product details

The Storyteller Trilogy Song of the River Cry of the Wind and Call Down the Stars edition by Sue Harrison Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
While the trilogy seemed like a soap opera, I was engaged in the storyline. I found the detail of life in prehistoric times interesting and believable. Also, the books had complex and human characters. Getting through the entire trilogy was a bit of a commitment, but if you would be interested in an imagining of prehistoric times near the arctic, it is worthwhile.
This is one of the best series I have read, and I have read so many books. This was so interesting, the story of people, the insight into ancient ways and taboos, the evil indwelling in one person - maybe two, and he plants mentioned as healing and poison. A must read.
A well researched novel about ancient Alaska, what they ate and how they lived weaved into a novel of note! It is a hefty read but I appreciate and enjoyed the work that have gone into this Trilogy, thank you to the author Sue Harrison, I look forward reading more from this author! Well worth reading and at the end even explaining the different types of plants used for medicine and explaining the words used by the Ancient people we know so little about!
I loved this. Many years ago I read all the Jean M. Auel "Clan of the Cave Bear" series, and some reviewers suggested that if you liked those, you'd like this. But this is So Much BETTER! Well-researched details, and excellent characterizations make for a binge-worthy read. I was sad to finish it, but it's a trilogy I will definitely re-visit.
I enjoy Sue Harrison's work. I would have to say I probably enjoyed her previous trilogy (mother earth father sky) a little better but i'm only halfway thru the second installment of this one so who knows. I enjoy the colorful characters and how effortlessly she brings them to life. The thing I'm most impressed with I think is the realism of said carachters and more importantly how"similar" their lives are to modern man's in terms of emotions and all that's made up of being human if that makes any sense. The plotting the backstabbing the secret love the family above all else attitude that makes us all so human is translated so well thru her writing it is truly a pleasure getting lost for a few hours a nite in Sues novels. In this story K'os is a truly horrible and easy to dislike villain. Overall I recommend these books.
A very enjoyable read. Fictional accounts of human survival under severe primitive conditions. Stories are plausible; characters realistic. Jack London's short stories of survival in Alaska at the turn of the 20th century would also be interesting to the readers of this book. A more modern take of survival in an unforgiving climate that also includes clashes between modern man and indigenous cultures.
I am not an author or a person who is very good at being expressive without hand gestures..this series has given me an even bigger desire to learn more about Inuit life.To live in North America ...or just Alaska ,Northwest Territories,Yukon,any of the far north and survive is difficult in these days ...We have technology ,and new ways of heating and yet these people prospered and have skills we could use in many situations..they survived in small communities..and lives were recorded by the Storytellers who made long winters pass pleasantly and even taught each other new ways...I am so invested in these stories and the work it took to write them ..I am so happy they were reintroduced as I had missed one ..so thrilled to know the story as it continued ..wish there were even more ...to know how these women gave themselves status ..and purpose that made them an asset ....wow! Being different can be a good thing ...
