Publisher's summary

In Wind Rider’s Oath, Bahzell became a wind rider - the first hradani wind rider in history. And, even if Bahzell is the War God’s champion, because the wind riders are the elite of the elite among the Sothoii, Bahzell’s ascension is as likely to stir resentment as respect. What’s more, Baron Tellian’s daughter, the heir to the realm, seems to be thinking that he is the only man - or hradani - for her. Now, War Maid’s Choice continues the story - and things really get complicated.

Critic reviews

“... irresistibly entertaining....” (Publishers Weekly)

“...fun adventure full of noble steeds, fierce female fighters, dark sorcery, serious swordplay, and plenty of tongue-in-cheek banter.” (Locus)

“...when Weber gets down to action, he’s hard to beat... a rollicking adventure that kept me turning the pages.” (SF Review Central)

Awesome

Goooooood book! I love this book. I've read every book in this series, it's one of my favorite books.

Exxcellent

Would you consider the audio edition of War Maid’s Choice to be better than the print version?

Only have the audio version.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I thought it was done really well. Made me laugh a lot.

Any additional comments?

I highly recommend this series. They are great. I enjoy David Weber other works as well.

Love & Sacrifice

This series only acquires more depth with each book. This isn't just world building, but depth of the characters within. It is no longer just about Bahzell, but also about a growing and interesting cast of characters in the world. Add to the mix magic, love, & devils and you have a tale worth reading.

A Really Good Listen

Fourth book in one of my favorite series. Great story to read and great story to listen to.

Love it

Love this author and this series. wish there was more great characters and great narration.

A perfect follow-up

this book is a perfect follow-up to the prior book. it concludes several of the loose threads that have been left hanging for two books now. I am eagerly anticipating listening to the next book!

Better and Better

I am more of a contemporary sci fi reader/listener. However, a friend told me about this series. Did not want to waist my time with a Lord of the Rings wannabe. However, imagine my surprise when I "forced" myself to buy the first one. You know the rest of the story. Outside of LOR, this is a really great story with an exceptional narrator. Each book expands the story and you start to get a picture of where it is going. This brings me to my rating of book 4. Weber does a great job in developing additional characters without loosing the original characters in the story line. And WOW, the battles... I am really looking forward to book 5, 6, etc...

Faster

Where does War Maid’s Choice rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Very top of the list. outstanding plot and story lines.

What other book might you compare War Maid’s Choice to and why?

Anything David has written. Wife is blind so she listens to books. went thru Honer Harrington series, Prince series and all related books plus War God series in less than 8 weeks. Love Weber and wants to know why he can't write as fast and she reads (listens). LOL. Had read Harrington series before she lost her sight. Listening to them was just as enjoyable and will start over listen to them again.

Oh no.. At lest I can say I did not see that one

Would you consider the audio edition of War Maid’s Choice to be better than the print version?

Who cares? Print is good audio is good it really depends on who in the mood for what at what time.

What did you like best about this story?

Well I had assumed that I could predict David's next move with this book and well he threw me a good one. Guess that is I get for being full of myself.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yep there was, and I ain't going tell ya..... your going have to read it yourself but it dose involve to coursers and their riders.

Does not disappoint

This book satisfies the elevated listener who wants to be both entertained by the action and desires a deeper underlying world story. The worlds epic past and background story plays into the telling of the climatic final battle perfectly. It's another great story by Weber.
