Commentary As Books Taming the Blowing Wind (Dragon Shaman #1)
Every girl yearns for adventure, romance and magic in their lives. BlowingWind MountainChild had all of these and lost them, just as she was starting on what she thought would be the greatest adventure of her life. Now, she is being called out by the forces of life and undertaking the journey into adulthood alone. However, journeys always seem to entail healing, and a quest to find her lost love turns into something even greater. Take Ryu is a boisterous magma ryugami trapped for five years beneath Mt. Fuji for the crime of becoming too engrossed in human affairs. Upon the end of his imprisonment he emerges to find a strange and undefended shaman woman within his territory. Falling prey once more to his kind heart he too is swept up in the threads of a destiny that neither human nor dragon could have ever believed. This is the first book of the Dragon Shaman series, which will follow BlowingWind and her family in a saga of such depth and breadth, that some greater being, or beings must surely be behind the scenes. But for what purpose? More than supernatural romance, more than fantasy, this multi-genre series will have a very different end than what the author usually finds to read...which is just how she wants it.Itemize Based On Books Taming the Blowing Wind (Dragon Shaman #1)

From the outset Dragon Shaman : Taming The Blowing Wind, by Teresa Garcia, plants one foot firmly and confidently in the realms of the spirit world. But this is no preachy evangelical sermon, or airy fairy new age nonsense, this is the spirit world of the Native Americans. As I read on, I was reminded that this spiritual perception of nature, and the world at large, is shared by many other cultures in many other parts of the world.Our heroine, the wonderfully named, BlowingWind MountainChild, isI would recommend this to anyone that likes long plots, multiple plots, world building stories, fantasy, Japanese culture, dragons (ryu/ryuu), youkai/yokai, kami, Native American culture, Irish/Celtic culture, mythology, spirits, ghosts, time travel, the possibility of multiple timelines, exploration of the spirit, exploration of the possibility of and manners of reincarnation, as well as environmentalism.I thought long and hard about whether or not to review my own book.

I am not sure how to describe it but the style of the book reminded me of The Last Unicorn by Beagle. It had that dreamy/mythology/wisdom vibe to it. There was also some beautiful descriptive prose to enjoy, and it tells this love story nicely. This is not an action pact adventure with mysteries to solve; it's the poemy words that keep you reading. I liked the main character and I wished to see more of her life lessons and interactions with different types of people. I
