When Women Were Warriors

review 1: I can't express enough how fantastic this series is. The second book does not disappoint; every expectation was met, if not surpassed with "A Journey of the Heart". Wilson reliably instills in readers the feeling of wonder at the world around Tamras, an appreciation for the complexity and beauty of social interactions, an awareness of the individual as multi-faceted and full of potential, and much more. The world is great and mysterious, awesome and cruel, and the people in it equally so. We get to know the characters even more, seeing sides of them that surprise and soften our hearts. There are things to be feared and worry over, and there are things to marvel at. I have yet to find a character I dislike or can't relate to/admire in some way. Every moment is handled with ... moregrace and wisdom, and as Tamras learns, we learn with her.This series is more than addicting. Be ready to obsess over it, because it certainly won't let your heart or mind go. Both the first and second books have left a permanent mark in me, and I'm going to start the third ASAP. I bought the second and third as e-books (the first is FREE), but have also ordered the paperback versions and I would gladly throw more money at Wilson if the opportunity arose.
review 2: I loved this book and stayed up into the late hours reading it. Wilson does such a good job conveying emotion- both subtle and obvious. The depth of emotion in this text is probably the only reason it took me so long to read. I didn't want to miss a single description or word and carefully read every word and line so as to miss nothing.As the second book of a trilogy this book did what many 2nd of 3rd books do and leaves much unknown: forcing the reader to speculate and wonder and, of course, buy the third book. I tend to hate 2nd of 3rds (in books and movies). A Journey of the Heart however isn't just a means to an end though, like many 2nd of 3rds. While the story cannot stand alone apart from the 1st or assumedly the 3rd it was a full story with details and descriptions and more revelations (and of course many more unanswered questions).This is such a great heroine story and there are sadly still so few in this world. I wish the romantic parts (specifically the erotic romance parts) weren't present so I could hand this to my eleven year old niece or any young girl or older woman. We need heroes and role models like Tamras and Marra in the world. I view them as great role models and amazing feminine literary characters- the likes of whom I can currently think of no equal (Katniss Everdeen of the Hunger Games doesn't even reach their level). I deeply hope nothing in the 3rd book changes my opinion of them as honest, true, and loyal.A Journey of the Heart has the hallmarks of a great warrior tale and mythology. It captures the imagination and draws the reader in so he/she feels like they're a part of the story. Catherine M. Wilson's words are poetic and deep. Her descriptions are beautiful. The book is like a song. I have never been this in love with a writer's work. I wish she had more than just the three books. I'm holding off on the third (despite the curiosity that is killing me) because I want to savor the books. less
