This book had so much promise at the beginning. Culainn is in exile from his homeland, somewhere to the North of where he lives now. He is an outcast because of his looks - his people are known for their vicious raids into other lands. A wealthy merchant hires Culainn to attempt to rescue his daughter who was kidnapped while in the mountains. Culainn agrees, and sets out to attempt to at least head to the mountains to see if there is a sign of the daughter. He stops in a small town, saves aPaul Freeman is from Dublin, Ireland, where he now works, plays and writes.

There are a lot of things I enjoyed about this novel and first of all Id like to say I enormously loved the main characters, Culainn and Persha (a woman
Tribesman has the makings to be an excellent novel. However, it fell short for me on several levels. Overall, the story was intriguing and well-paced, and kept me reading until the very end. That being said, there were numerous moments where I contemplated putting it down altogether. I am glad that I gave it the benefit of the doubt and kept reading.The strengths of this book lie in the two main characters, Culainn and Persha. From the beginning, you get a glimpse of the somewhat stereotypical
