Publisher's summary

Chandra de Avenell might look like a golden princess, but she fights like a warrior, dreams a warrior’s dreams, and wears a warrior’s pride like a suit of armor. She wants to be strong, independent, and free. She has no use at all for a husband. Enter the man her father has selected for her. Jerval de Vernon takes one look at Chandra, and he wants her. After he saves her from a very bad situation, he sets himself to wooing her—not an easy task.

How does a man convince a woman he coerces into marriage to become a wife? To give him her loyalty and trust? Love is something he would like her to consider as well. But what if the wife has no intention of cooperating? Does he break her or finally give up to her?

NOPE

I can move beyond much misogyny in a historical book with the expectation that it is overcome in the end. Regardless of time period, there is no salvaging a romance if the opening scene involves the man raping the woman’s friend in front of her. Why bother continuing.

Skip This Book & Move On To The Next In The Series

I started this book because I read one further in the series & really liked it so I decided to start the series from the beginning. If I'd started w/ this book I'd have never read another! The heroine was a prideful, immature, selfish girl; & the hero went from admiring her "warrior" skills to trying to smother them out of her! That said at least he was overall likable. I'll never understand why so called "strong" women have to be stubborn & prideful to the point of stupidity! Added to that is that the overall story line was awful! The emphasis the author places on the worthlessness of women in the period almost makes one wonder if she believes that herself! The complete focus of the story is the strife between the characters and the various settings and troubles they must overcome are pointless shadows there only to drag the story out. As I said, if you want to read this series skip this book and start with different one.

Warrior's Song

Originally published as Chandra this book is the first of a four boo set. I like the fact that a woman can be a hero.

Disappointed with the narrator!

The story was interesting but very difficult to follow due to the narrator. The narrator ran the sentences, and different characters within the story, together.

Great narrator

The narrator helps me choose the book. Anne Flosnik is an excellent narrator. I was not disappointed with her performance with this book at all. The author was trying to portray an independent woman who could hold her own as a fighter. Unfortunately she did not give this heroin a brain. I have a problem with stupid acting, self serving female characters in books who put many people in jeopardy because of their childish acts. If you want to portray an independent woman, then also give her a brain. Plus the second half of the book made it feel disconnected from the first half. I only gave 3 stars.

History and romance

If you could sum up Warrior's Song in three words, what would they be?

History and romance in one story.

What other book might you compare Warrior's Song to and why?

Any of Catherine's other historical romance novels and I plan to read the next one in the series.

A classic Historical romance

This was fine. The narration was pretty good, not my favorite but I didn't want to rip the earbuds out of my ears.

TW/CW: Rape (not of the heroine), rape commited by the hero of the next book in the series, threat of rape to the heroine from various men, miscarriage, thoughts/threats of suicide, and assault.

This book and series was always on my radar, I think I even read book 2 years and years ago. So I wanted to read this first book. And it was fine, not great, not horrible, just fine.

This was also kind of weird, especially in the first half. I was wondering if there was something between Chandra and her father, with all the talk of his "rutting" and no one was better than her father, it was weird.

I didn't love that every time Chandra is trying to show her skill, she ends up not really showing off. There were many moments where she would go off and get into trouble instead of actually helping. It got old.

Also I didn't love how a difficulty between the hero and heroine would occur and then 4 months later would pass and their issue was resolved but we never saw how it was resolved.

Oh and I hated how Chandra is calling the guy who raped her friend/maid a friend by the end of this. Yea he saved you but he also raped your friend...what?!

Overall this was just fine. I'm curious where i will fall on book 2 when I read it.

Don't Read

Left me feeling horrible inside. Made the rapist a hero!

Sweet suitor becomes dominating husband (pretty much like the rapist she was rescued from) but apparently that is great.

She ends up losing her identity and the things that made her unique:(

And that's supposed to be a happy ending????

So depressing and made me feel sick to my stomach

Apparently some of her other books are better skip this one!!!!!

Rape warning

Could not even finish it. Starts out with main male character raping a girl. Unforgivable in a main character.
