A review by yapha
The Legend of Sam Miracle by N.D. Wilson
3.0
The writing in this book is spectacular and the action is non-stop! Although the concept of non-linear time is fairly confusing, Wilson makes it work. My only problem with this book (and what brought it down from 4 stars to 3) is the overused stereotype of the magical Native American. Perhaps this choice will be better explained as the trilogy progresses.
ETA: Wilson does have an explanation on his blog about the historical basis to his Native American imagery. I hope that this is included in the finished book as well. I am still uncomfortable with the portrayal of the Native American characters, particularly since the hero of the story is white & blond. http://www.ndwilson.com/blog/from-me/hello-old-readers-i-have-a-new-book/
