- RznRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5This is a story about finding oneself and it of a spiritual journey told as a strong short story. The impetus for such a journey is a common one, being pushed out of one's comfort zone and into the unknown, without the watchful eye of others. The plot and the resolution were all done quite well. There are more than a few mistakes in the prose and other oddities, such as them using birch bark for writing while at the same time having modern medical terms thrown around. The time period is not clearly defined, but they use a 'three-bodies' approach and yet we have little description of other's actions to get an idea if this is modern or not. This was a good read.
- TealiciousTeaRoyal Road★★★★ 4.0What can I say? A nice story with an engaging main character. A lovely setting in the mountains with intriguing 'shamans'. A mysterious calamity threatening the people. Dive in and relax.
I'm only sorry my self-imposed review standards make this a four star. Taking the title unfairly off the top few best rated short stories search list.
