Talks Like Thunder (Red With Native Blood Book 1) by Randal Nerhus & Marjorie Carter – Review by Brandy Vaughn

Talks Like Thunder by Randal Nerhus
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This novella is written from the viewpoint of a young Native American girl named Desert Flower on her coming-of-age journey to become Talks-Like-Thunder. There is plenty of fictionalized historical facts in this story that aid in keeping the reader turning the pages. However, I am unsure on the actual authoring of the story due to this novella coming together posthumous from a non-native writer. While this novella is inspired from Marjorie Carter’s writings, Randal Nerhus does a good job of creating a character the reader can fall in love with and empathize with the horrific things that happened to Talks-Like-Thunder.
