Narration During Books The Warrior's Path (When Women Were Warriors #1)

When she was a child, the author of When Women Were Warriors happily identified with all the male heroes she read about in stories that began, "Once upon a time, a young man went out to seek his fortune." But she would have been delighted to discover even one story like that with a female protagonist. Since she never did find the story she was looking for all those years ago, she decided to write it.

In Book I of the trilogy, Tamras arrives in Merin's house to begin her apprenticeship as a warrior, but her small stature causes many, including Tamras herself, to doubt that she will ever become a competent swordswoman. To make matters worse, the Lady Merin assigns her the position of companion, little more than a personal servant, to a woman who came to Merin's house, seemingly out of nowhere, the previous winter, and this stranger wants nothing to do with Tamras.

Write Up Appertaining To Books The Warrior's Path (When Women Were Warriors #1)

Honestly I feel like I should write a long review of this, but I still can't find the words. It's beautiful and wonderful and lovely, and there's so many women loving women and being amazing and gosh, just read it. Okay, thanks, have some quotes:"I felt like a bird, caged all its life, set free by an open window and cowering upon the windowsill.""When I slept, my warrior walked in my dreams, and in my dreams, the thong that bound us was not from wrist to wrist, but from heart to heat."Every

I read this book mostly in challenge of negative reviews I saw on Amazon. Clearly, those people are not from cultures with oral traditions, because Wilson's prose is beautiful and captures those traditions wonderfully. If you have problems with women exploring their sexuality together, you are not mature enough for this trilogy. That's not the point of the story. The point is that women can be all sorts of warriors: some with swords, some with children, and some with both. Weapons are both

This book was the September's Sapphic Book Club read hosted by sapphicbookclub.My first impression was that the writing is definitely very good, but unusual. The book does a few things when it comes to writing that I wouldn't usually like that much, like first person perspective. And the way the story is told doesn't feel like I'm actually 'in' the story, but more like I'm sitting at a camp fire and someone tells me the story of their life. Which is not bad in particular, just very different

IT GAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!! :~)based on the reviews i've read for this book, it can be a bit unnerving bc the pacing is not typical or traditional and conflict within the novel is mostly internal (rather than external, ie violence/action/etc), but as the artist collective Still Eating Oranges so wisely put it in their essay on narrative structure:"The necessity of conflict is preached as a kind of dogma by contemporary writers workshops and Internet 'guides' to writing. A plot without conflict is



I'm not entirely sure how this book landed up in my shopping cart and ultimately on my stack of to-be-read books, but I am so incredibly glad that it did. Catherine M. Wilson is a true storyteller and I believe this story, and the series, will be considered a classic. The story is told through the eyes of Tamras, a young woman entering the house of the Lady of the land in order to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a warrior. She is first presented with the task of being a companion to

"In ancient days, when only women were warriors, lived a woman who had two daughters..."If you are looking for a good fantasy/adventure book full of women and nice f/f relationships, look no further. This book is definitely The Warrior's Path.It's like the writer looked into my dreams and wrote a book about almost everything I wanted and couldn't find in fantasy stories. I feel out of words to explain how good it was to read this. Sometimes I was in awe of the characterization of all of these
