Snowbrother

This was a great story (and a repeat read after 20+ years). Yes, there is a lot of violence/pillaging in this book, some of it very graphic, yet not dissimilar to many others in this genre. Part of me thinks that the some of the more negative reviews may be due to readers unsettled and shocked that much of the carnage is led or inflicted by a female Chiefkin. That difference in perspective alone makes this early Baen publication worth reading.
