About this listen

The third book in the Bonesetter series, a prehistorical account of Pell, a boy in a primitive society who learns to "set bones".

In this third story, he’s become the de facto leader of the Cold Springs tribe, though he still resists the mantle. The tale follows his invention of such things as the spear-thrower, chimney, and the beginnings of agriculture - things that will markedly improve the lives of his fellow humans. He and Gia mate, and, in hopes of finding more lost members of Gia’s former tribe, set out to travel the great river to the sea. Despite the awe his ideas engender in those around him, he remains humble and commits himself to helping those in need - even the ones he doesn’t like.

This was the last Laurence E Dahners series I read since I didn’t think I’d enjoy it, but it is now one of my favorite from his collection. The only thing I didn’t like was how when Pal (the main protagonist) took the moral “high road” it lead to more suffering and death. It seems to be a reoccurring issue in many sci-fi and fantasy novels. The protagonist takes the high road, but many suffer because of it. In the end, it felt like the moral of the story for this series was to kill before being killed or having your loved ones hurt. While on the surface it may have seemed like taking the high road was beneficial in the end, that’s only if you ignore those (background characters) who died as a result.

Great series
