Eh. This is supposedly a description of the author's path to power, guided by a Native American woman. I guess this is the second book, her introduction was the first one (and attack by a big bad guy) and this is her learning to shield herself.

I found the writing amateurish and unconvincing. It was more like a friend describing their vacation than a skilled travel writer. Her descriptions sounded exaggerated frequently. I kept wondering what the actual story was, what actually happened, and how much she imagined afterwards. I don't disbelieve such things can happen--the book just didn't convince me they happened to her.

It also didn't offer any assistance, guidelines, etc, for someone who might want to draw from the book to their own life. Which was part of what I didn't like--it was a creative writing assignment ('what I did this summer') not a book focused on conveying something to the reader. Clearly the path is better taken with a guru, but I could not decide why she thought someone would want to read it--what was the purpose of writing the book? What was it she wanted the reader to take away?

Another great one in Ms Andrews series. This one is not as good as the 1st two but worth the read. She does fill you in just a bit on the previous books. But I think one could still enjoy the story as a stand alone. It is very mystical and wise from a novices point of view.
