The author, as a native (although not tribal) Alaskan provides an insight that Outsiders would not be able to give. ![]() I am very attracted to the ever-present view of the various problems faced by the tribal Alaskans. I love the humor in the books, but the tragedy of life is always there. The Liam Campbell series starts out at a more mature level of character development, but I liked even the first Kate Shugak book. In both series what I really like is the maturing of the the main characters as they learn to deal with their demons and lives. I prefer the Kate Shugak books but there are themes throughout the Liam Campbell books I really enjoy, especially his relationship with the raven and the character Moses. I will basically discuss Kate Shugak’s world and Liam Campbell’s world as learned through reading these books. In these reviews I will discuss the mysteries minimally, as that would really not be fair to the author. ![]() ![]() Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery and due to various reasons, the delivery may take longer than the original estimated timeframe.
