The Warrior’s Path by Catherine M. Wilson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
(above the asterisk is my review from April 2012 of the Kindle version.)
In ancient days, when womyn* were warriors…
Why would womyn be warriors? Who but the life bringers would care? Who but womyn would be cautious about taking the life of a family member of another home.
Yes, there are men in the book. They have redeeming ways. But this story is about womyn. In particular, a young teen and her strange warrior.
Many subplot lines kept this book moving. There are questions to ponder, such as the difference between a secure upbringing and an orphaned life.
The most interesting thought is about anger and its purpose. Then there is jealousy and love versus friendship.
I can’t wait till payday so I can get the next book in the series. For those who don’t care for series, the first book does a nice stand-alone. Nice settling ending. But I love to watch the characters mature and learn as they do.
* my spelling, not the author’s.

I just finished listening to the audible version of this book. I stick with the above critic of the Kindle version. I think having Janis Ian’s narration made this a more enjoyable experience. Now I need to find the next in the series to listen to.
