A View to the rider has a very good storyline. The characters are well developed.

Birch Trueblood, Obijwe Shaman and Rochelle LeClair come together even their differences. Have this book in paper back and enjoyed the well written book with story line and characters.

Ebook from netgalley and publishers with thanks.Opinions are entirely my own.

I read this story years ago but had forgotten that A View of the River is not your typical Kathleen Eagle story. The Native American struggle is still a part of the story but it has a ghostly element to it, blending past and present together in a way that Kathleen Eagle does best. Just not usually real spirits involved in her books.

The injustices and greed from the past come to light which parallel the one among the members of Rochelle’s family. However, it seems the spirits have had enough of that. As the Ojibwe shaman Birch Trueblood works with Rochelle LeClair a bond is formed between them. Besides these two, I especially liked the part the children played in the story as well as Rochelle’s aging aunt. The sister and her entourage not at all.

I preferred for the story to dwell on the romance, more than the harsh family drama that takes place in the story. However, just like the weather, the family served a purpose to make this story complete.
