Give Light series 4.5 stars. Highly recommend. This series deals with issues that strongly impact Native American Rights. To be honest it was eye opening and has caused me to do some research of my own.

This was a lovely end to a wonderful series. There are some elements of the book that will need willing suspension of disbelief, which at times was a little jarring a guess. But, I was happy to suspend! Out of the 4 books, this was not my favourite but I thoroughly enjoyed this glimpse into the future.

What is really wonderful about the story is seeing our protagonists all grown up, doing the daily and living. It was idyllic, lovely and had this wonderful warmth about it. Loved it. One of my favourites for this year and I highly recommend you read the series. ( )

This was the fourth book in this series and I was a bit disappointed.
After all the drama and also developments in the previous installments, this felt more like a drawn out epilogue.
Besides adopting a girl and Sky's father coming out of prison, it is more an account of every day life. With some complaining about how tedious work is, how much he still loves his Rafael etc.
It was a nice telling, but didn't touch me in the same way then the other books. It was good that I waited some time to read this - had I started it right after the third installment, my rating would have been much lower. ( )
