Description To Books A Journey of the Heart (When Women Were Warriors #2)
A Journey of the Heart Book II] shows the same strong storytelling ability of the first book. The language is still almost musical and wraps its sweet spell around you. Storylines that were just starting to grow in the first book are also very well developed here. Intrigue and conflict are fleshed out and take some surprising twists. All that I had hoped for, reading the first book, begins to bloom. "--from a review by Kate Genet on the website, Kissed By Venus
"Catherine Wilson creates a magical sense of place, and of belonging to that place. Within that, she also tells how it feels to not belong. Ms. Wilson 's is a tale of bone wisdom. It whispers of what we remember when we sleep at night and dream. It calls us to remember that women had, and still have, a wise and powerful place in the world."--from a review on the blog, The Rainbow Reader, by Baxter Clare Trautman, author of The River Within
"In this book we see Tamras world open from the House of Merin and its immediate environs into the lands beyond its borders. She meets other peoples, whose ways are different from those she knows. Similarly Tamras inner life expands as well: the feelings within her blossom into the romantic love that will be the linchpin her life will hinge on "--from a review by Charles Ferguson on the Goodreads website
In Book II of the trilogy, Tamras 's apprenticeship as a warrior isn t turning out quite the way she expected. Her unconventional choices lead to her crossing swords, almost literally, with Vintel, the war leader of Merin 's house. She finds herself embroiled in a power struggle she is doomed to lose, but the loss sends her on a journey that will change her destiny and decide the fate of her people.

The 2nd book in this series, and I loved every page! I'm already starting the 3rd book and I fully encourage anyone who loves a good fantasy series to give this one a try, but of course start with the 1st book.Got more of a background on Maara in this book, love her character!invented feminism, made me gay and saved the fantasy genre
Another beautiful story. (view spoiler)[ I'm so glad that Tamras and Maara really discover their love for each other; it's powerful. I love Maara - she seems so innocent, yet there's hidden power inside her, and I believe I would be awed by her skill on the battlefield. (hide spoiler)] These books, and the stories within, are really something special. Thank you so much for writing. I will be sad to read the last book in the trilogy, and I'm almost scared to start reading as I know it'll have to
It is hard for me to write a review on a book I hold very close to my heart. I cant explain why, but this book brought tears to my eyes the second I read its last word at its last page. It is so beautifully written, and the way the characters speak its almost like poetry or like a song that they sang to my own heart. I cant wait to read the last book of the series and if anyone asks me, I will never think twice before recommending it.
Just like the first book in this series I loved this one just as much. On to the third one now and looking forward to the next part of Maara and Tamra's journey.
Honestly, this is one of the best love stories I have ever read. Definitely the best WLW love story I have ever read, and the fact that it is set within a fantasy world of women warriors only makes it that much better. Seriously, why haven't you read it already? Go! Right now! Also, some quotes:"She had held out to me the hope that, by letting something go, I might be able to take hold of something better.""My heart knew how much others cared for me, but my body needed to be told, in a language
