A review by prcizmadia
Mammoths of the Great Plains by Eleanor Arnason

3.0

If I had any complaint, it's that I wanted more! I really liked the conceit, and how the book started, but it kind of whimpered to the conclusion and I had higher expectations. The drop off between where the narrative ended, and the later time period where the book began, really would have been an awesome piece of world-building had it been included. Otherwise, this is a world that dramatically resembles ours... plus mammoths.

However, the story-within-a-story was pretty great, and I liked the focus on the Native American oral tradition as a storytelling measure. So all in all, a good work, I just wish I had more to chew on.
