_leitmotif_ 's review for:
Shaman
by Kim Stanley Robinson
a deceptively slight coming of age story of a long ago indigenous boy on a unnamed planet. deep emotion builds over time in this story, as the resonance of loon’s life starts to reverberate and the people loon lives with and loves come more and more into focus. as he does, as he grows up and becomes more himself in the context of his pack.
i loved this book for how being moved snuck up on me. i found myself tearing up and deeply sorry to let these characters go. and, this story has one of the most impactful and personally meaningful death scenes i’ve read. loon’s mentor thorn, leaving his life and murmuring as he goes “i will be sorry not to see what comes next”.
