The Raven's Myth: Raven Creation: I am enjoying the Raven story thus far. It bears some striking resemblance to Christian creation which is interesting.
The Raven's Myth: Raven Creates People: I like that the story has Raven explain everything to Man. I also like that Raven cares about both Man and his creations. It is interesting that people only took three days to grow up. I wonder how they will explain why that is not true anymore.
The Raven's Myth: The Skyland and Sea: This was a weirder part of the story, but not unlikable. It was just harder to follow.
The Raven's Myth: Raven-Boy and the Sun: These creation stories are quite enjoyable to read. They are fun little explanations of how everything got to the way it is today.
The Flood: This story was also rather hard to follow. It is interesting that they have a flood story though.
The Origin of the Tides: I really enjoyed the simplicity of this story. Just a hole in the ocean that is opened and closed. It makes for a scary but good story for Tael.
Raven's Feast: This was another short but to the point story. I appreciate the depth of story developed in such a short time.
Raven's Marriage: I was confused why Raven was having such trouble keeping up. Is it just that he is not used to long distances? And why did he lie about the arrowhead? This story left me with many questions.
Raven and the Seals: I was not such a fan of this story. Why was Raven so hungry? Talk about ravenous. And why did he have to kill the man? This story's shortness was annoying as it made the story not make sense.
Raven and Pitch: I do not like how cruel Raven is in this story and the last. He went from a lovable creature to a deadly nuisance.
Raven and Marmot: Okay, this story was pretty entertaining. Saved by dancing is a great way to be saved. It was great to imagine Raven dancing clumsily with his eyes closed and Marmot darting beneath him.
The Bringing of the Light by Raven: This story is not bad. I like the explanation of why the nights are sometimes so long in Alaska and sometimes so short. It is a cute story.
The Naming of the Birds: This was just a nice way of explaining why all of the birds are the way that they are. Nothing fancy or detailed story-wise, but nice nonetheless. I liked the explanation of the Eagle.
How Raven Stole the Lake: This was an interesting story in how Raven just rolled up the lake and flew away with it. I find it interesting the this story makes beavers out to be gamblers. It rather funny actually.
