Crux Untamed by Tillie Cole

4.0

At first I was going to give Crux Untamed 3 stars but in the end, I bumped it up to 4. Being a Cajun from coastal southeastern Louisiana, I initially took offense to what seemed to be an outdated stereotype of the extreme racism in the south in general portrayed in this book. I’m almost 51 y/o and have never met anyone associated with the Klan or any other white power group, nor have I ever run across an entire town run by Klansmen. This may have been a thing 60-70 yrs ago, but (thank God) I don’t think this happens in this day and age. I finally realized that I was being over sensitive and got over it because not everybody was portrayed that way. Also, Tillie Cole did a decent job of portraying Cajuns by not making us look like uneducated idiots or “cher”-ing us to death like lots of authors do, (its pronounced “sha”, btw. Rhymes with the sound a sheep makes.). I’m looking forward to Tanner’s book next, but I’m even more anxious to read what’s in store for Viking. Anyone else have a feeling that he will end up with a man? I can’t wait to find out!
