founddrama 's review for:

Shaman by Kim Stanley Robinson

3.0

---

The story is interesting, and has some moments that are gripping. But it's also tedious and over-long. Ultimately it's a coming-of-age story with the whole prehistoric-humans conceit. And while it captures nicely a sense of what that may have been like, I had a hard time feeling swept up in it.
