Can one person stop a lifetime of warring?
Horse, Heather-the-Mother’s son (the same Heather from book I) decides he must travel the world to learn how to defeat the Doshi. An enemy of the Doshi may just be the friend of the Ehvelen.
“Travels of First Horse” is a long detailed read. I know I did not give it the justice it deserves due to time restraints; however, that doesn’t lessen the enjoyment I had reading it.
Dr. Rich has me wondering just how much is true and how much was just his imagination. Don’t miss his bio at the end of the book.
Dr. Rich incorporates a multitude of people’s history and culture. His notes throughout add dimension to the translation of the Ehvelen’s tale.
Seeing these people (some being Egyptians, Ethiopian, Danish, Jews) through Horse’s eyes was an entertaining puzzle; I couldn’t always figure out their modern counterpart. I wouldn’t mind reading more about some of the people Horse encountered.
“Travels of First Horse” is as much fun and dangerous adventure as it is fantasy. I laughed at parts and raced through others.
I’m even curious about what was happening while Horse was away. The glimpses of Heather reading Horse’s letters weren’t enough.
When Horse returns home will he be instrumental in ending the war of his lifetime? I’m not telling.
Enjoy.
