"This novel has something for almost everyone, at that is a rare feat. It is essentially a historical fiction with the character of Julii in center of it. She is a Tennessee Indian dealing with the "white world" around her. It doesn't sound like much, but there is much more than that, I won't reveal the entire plot here. She is a strong character, for me that is always welcome, especially in historical fiction. The plot is exciting, fast, full of things happening all the time, but it is not exhaustive at all. The drama, relations of Julii and other characters, battles and depiction of war, everything is written very, very well and it blends together seamlessly. This is a second book in the series, but I had no problem following what is going on and I didn't even read the first one. I don't know if it has continuity or not, but it seemed to me like a stand-alone book. Anyway, really loved it, super entertaining, easy to read and just an excellent book."

"Meet Julii in the character-driven, exciting novel, Our Eternal Curse: Another Tribe by Simon Rumney. She is a beautiful Indian girl whose life becomes entangled with the world of the white man after she saves a Confederate captain in the Battle of Shiloh. She will suffer a lot of prejudice and oppression, but watch as she bounces back, using her intelligence, to punish those who have hurt her so much, but until when? Our Eternal Curse: Another Tribe is a well-crafted story that will have the reader turning the pages. The characters are very realistic and easy to relate to. I loved the heroine and her unusual courage. The reader will enjoy her thinking on her feet and being very creative in executing her revenge. The writing is excellent and it offers wonderful insightful passages. It will be interesting to see her the difference aspects of the novel are balanced. I really enjoyed this one."

"This book is just what I needed at this point in our history. The main character is not only a strong female lead, but an Indian. The book deals with her finding her way through the "white mans world." In this day and age, it's easy to relate to a suppressed woman- even more so one who deals with racism on a daily basis. For those of us fortunate enough to be born the "right" color, it gives and interesting and realistic portrayal of what people of other colors deal with on a daily basis. I am also huge on history and mysteries, which this book has plenty of. Where it really shines is it's characters, but the rest of the plot is right up my alley as well. Glad I picked this up."
