My Review
Shadow Horses of the Rocky Mountains is an Emotional Family Drama--and More. While the novel's central story focuses on Willow Ranch and rebuilding the family and support surrounding it, many other pieces and stories are at play. Readers move through Western-style adventures and mysterious family secrets to romance and the bonds between nature, animals, humans, and cultures.
The Author's Storytelling Pulls Readers In and Doesn't Let Go. I have never been to the Canadian Rockies--and I had never heard of the Shadow Horses--but I belonged in the story and setting from the first few pages. The author does a beautiful job developing her characters and their stories while creating a setting that feels very visual and real. It's a page-turner that ties many pieces together for the perfect ending.
Would I Recommend Shadow Horses of the Rocky Mountains by Natascha Birovljev? I loved the author's storytelling style and the connections between nature, life, love, and family. I love novels that blend culturally significant elements and beliefs, and Shadow Horses of the Rocky Mountains does that wonderfully. If you enjoy emotional and hope-filled family sagas and dramas, this novel is one for your reading list. This novel is the first book I have read from the author, but I look forward to the other books in this series.
