Love in the time of Wild West - between a Dutch soldier and a Native princess.

I love all things Native Americans, so I was ready to love this book.
But it was not according to my reading taste - and I know that this is a very personal point of view, so read this review with a grain of salt.
While I appreciate the equal approach to Native Indians in the novel (they are friends to white settlers), I am not sure that it was always that friendly, historically speaking.
I find the book being a bit too cozy for my Wild West tastes - I like my Native heroes and settlers fighting the rugged nature and/or savages, and I am missing this element here, instead there is a lot of female communication and friendship.
And unfortunately I do not care for the romance - too much space is dedicated to the sidekick Benjamin and I got confused to who is going to get the girl.

Having said all that - there is certain warmness and approachability in this book, which can make this novel a compelling read for another reader with different reading mindset.

I don't have time to write a review at this time. I didn't realize I need to write a review at the time I asked to read this book. I've learned since. But I don't have time to go back and review this title.

Sorry, never got around to reading. Will try again at a later date.
