Call Down the Stars (The Storyteller Trilogy Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 144 ratings

In the icy land of prehistoric Alaska, two heroic storytellers bring to life the final chapter of their ancestors: the star-crossed lovers Chakliux and Aqamdax
A handsome young tribal warrior and sage, Yikaas has traveled across the sea to hear stories of the Whale Hunter and the Sea Hunter peoples. Around the fire, Qumalix, a beguiling and beautiful storyteller, barely old enough to be a wife, catches the eye of Yikaas, and so begins their flirtation through storytelling, which brings to vivid life tales of the Near River and Cousin River tribes. The fates of lovers Chakliux and Aqamdax, and their wicked nemesis K’os, are revealed as Yikaas and Qumalix weave together tales from their ancestors’ past—and tales from their own lives. 
Call Down the Stars is the final book of the Storyteller Trilogy, which also includes Song of the River and Cry of the Wind.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

A major publishing event, and that's no clich?. This newly discovered book collects nearly 500 folktales first assembled in the 1920s.Concluding the "Storyteller Trilogy."
Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.

From Booklist

This third book in Harrison's Storyteller trilogy completes the tale begun in her two previous works, Song of the River (1997) and Cry of the Wind (1998). This installment, which, like the others, is set in prehistoric Alaska, features two storytellers: Yikaas, a young, handsome, and fiery-tempered member of the River People tribe; and Qumalix, a beautiful, clever, and high-spirited member of the Sea Hunters tribe. These two quick-witted characters spend their evenings sparring verbally and weaving tales of their historic ancestors for their gathered tribespeople. Their nightly contest to tell the most enchanting tale (and the hint of attraction between them) brings to life legends of the tribes' heroic ancestors, much to the delight of the assembled listeners, while also weaving a dramatic plot for readers to follow. Well-written and meticulously researched, Harrison's powerful yarn details the hardships and simplicity faced by prehistoric people while also emphasizing their humanity. It will appeal not only to Harrison's own fans but also to fans of Clan of the Cave Bear (1980). Kathleen Hughes

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Sue Harrison grew up in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and graduated summa cum laude from Lake Superior State University with a bachelor of arts degree in English language and literature. At age twenty-seven, inspired by the cold Upper Michigan forest that surrounded her home, and the outdoor survival skills she had learned from her father and her husband, Harrison began researching the people who understood best how to live in a harsh environment: the North American native peoples. She studied six Native American languages and completed extensive research on culture, geography, archaeology, and anthropology during the nine years she spent writing her first novel, Mother Earth Father Sky, the extraordinary story of a woman’s struggle for survival in the last Ice Age. A national and international bestseller, and selected by the American Library Association as one of the Best Books for Young Adults in 1991, Mother Earth Father Sky is the first novel in Harrison’s critically acclaimed Ivory Carver Trilogy, which includes My Sister the Moon and Brother Wind. She is also the author of Song of the River, Cry of the Wind, and Call Down the Stars, which comprise the Storyteller Trilogy, also set in prehistoric North America. Her novels have been translated into thirteen languages and published in more than twenty countries. Harrison's newest novel, The Midwife's Touch, was released February 7, 2023 by Open Road Integrated Media and Shanty Cove Books. Harrison lives with her family in Michigan’s Eastern Upper Peninsula.

If you are reading this review before reading the series from the very beginning, with the Ivory Carvers #1, then do yourself a truly big favor and go back and start there. You will get very confused trying to figure out the connections without that background.While I do believe you could enjoy the book without that base; simply because she is such an excellent, no make that stupendous writer; I think you would be denying yourself a much more satisfyingly read with the full six novels that compromise this fascinating saga. This is the best thing I have read since The Clan of the Cave Bear saga, it ates right up there with Ms Aurel's best.

The characters climb right into your heart and burrow in and are there to stay. You will never
forget them. I will not try to name them because without the written word in front of me I could not spell them and I am writing from a Kindle so I don't have that option. But I will say that whether I can spell them or pronounce them, I will NEVER forget them!!

I love stories of the prehistoric era of our world and I adore series. I always hate to come to the end of a great saga. I truly hope she has more great books to write and I garuntee I will be here to buy and read them.

The writing is fantastic.I feel like I am there in the ice and snow.I can look around and see the forest, the empty sea or the barren tundra. I can smell and hear the caribou and the bear. I can feel the saltwater, feel the fear as the whale, or walrus come out of the deep and threaten the hunters in their thin frail boats; hear the sound of the harpoon fly through the air and hit giant mammals man depends on for their very survivial.

It is the rare and brillant writer that can put these things on paper and give them to us the reader and she is one of those writers.I salute you. Don't miss this incredible saga.

Gives insight to what it was like in the centuries after the ice ages. Good stories that helped me understand a bit of the culture and interaction of early peoples of Alaska.

I love The Storyteller Trilogy! It takes me to the life of the characters during that time. I love the detail and learning how they might have lived. Sue does an excellent job with connecting the reader to the characters and feel their struggle and how they are feeling. I'm sad that I'm almost finished with the Trilogy.
Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2015
This was an excellent read and I loved how Sue wove the stories through the 3 books to culminate in this final of the tirlogy. The themes reflected the timeless righting of wrong, good and evil, while each of the characters found a place in the heart. I love learning about the variations of culture, beliefs and rituals that provide the context as well as the geology shifts of those times.

this trilogy was a GREAT vacation read!! I had 2 weeks in the mountains, and whenever I took a break from hiking and kayaking I would pick up my kindle and read. I found that having the whole set to read at once made it easier to follow the many characters and story lines. If you liked the "Clan of the Cave Bear" series then I highly recommend this series. It is set in Alaska in the Aleutian Islands. I will add Sue Harrison to my list of authors to keep track of.

My husband and I love historical fiction, in particular stories based in the anthropological/archiological genre. Sue Harrison is one of the few great authors writing in this genre. She does her "homework". Her stories are well researched and written in a vivid style that enables the reader to "see" the story.

I had read 2 of Sue Harrison's books prior to this and was fascinated by the trilogy. Had to read to the end all the untold story lines. To actually live the lives of early inhabitants of this vast empty land and their origins. Great writing!
