Typical Schurfranz entry in the Sunfire series where the heroine is very beautiful (and everyone comments on it at length) and can ride and shoot as good as any man. This time it's bow & arrow instead of guns, but that doesn't make much difference in the over-the-top "grrl power" formula Schurfranz employs yet again. The heroes are also slightly drawn (no surprise), with Cassie making her choice late in the story when we all knew it was coming. The biggest disappointment was Cassie's introduction to white society after being with the Iroquois since she was four. It is no more bumpy than the usual teenager switching schools. It could have been done so much better. I ended up speed-reading this one from page 100 and don't think I missed much. I hadn't the patience to read it as thoroughly as I have the other Sunfires.
