Reading: Daybreak 2250 A.D. by Andre Norton, Part Two


 
At most I'd say he was about 16. At least Lura looks right.
Fors is not this old.
For some reason, I am still surprised by how well this book has aged. There have been several books I have read as a kid that I cannot really enjoy now because issues I didn’t find problematic then or even notice when I was younger became glaringly obvious when I re-read as an adult. (As an example, the Dragonriders of Pern books or anything I have read (and liked) by David Eddings. I tried to read Nor Crystal Tears by Alan Dean Foster a few years back and I couldn’t get more than a chapter in because my tastes and perceptions had changed.) With Daybreak/Star Man’s Son however, I am just as enthused by the book and the character as I was when I was a kid, though as an adult I tend to engage in a lot more “meta” than I had as a kid.



Fors continues northward. While travelling, he comes across a hunter from another tribe.
