Review
"I think Warprize is possibly the best romantic fantasy I have ever read! I loved the sequel… I can't wait for number three! Continue please to enthrall me with your story-telling."--Anne McCaffrey on Warprize
"Warsworn is a moving continuation of the wonderful Warprize. Bravo."--bestselling author Jo Beverley on Warsworn
"Warsworn is a moving continuation of the wonderful Warprize. Bravo."--bestselling author Jo Beverley on Warsworn
"Chapter two of Vaughan's epic fantasy saga delves deeper into the growing bonds linking the warlord and his warprize, as well as the disparate cultures they come from. The dramatic tension is riveting, and the emotional stakes are high in this excellent novel. Vaughan is an exceptional new talent, and the next chapter in this series will be highly anticipated!"--Romantic Times BookReviews on Warsworn
"I loved Warprize! Keir is a hero to savor, and Elizabeth Vaughan is an author to watch."--Claire Delacroix on Warprize
"Vaughan's brawny barbarian romance re-creates the delicious feeling of adventure and the thrill of exploring mysterious cultures created by Robert E. Howard in his Conan books and makes for a satisfying escapist read with its enjoyable romance between a plucky, near-naked heroine and a truly heroic hero."--Booklist on Warprize
Product Description
Lara of Xy and her Warlord, Keir of the Cat, have been through much together. Lara abandoned her lands and people for love of him. She adopted his ways and learned of his tribe. Together they have faced plague and insurgency -- and despite these struggles, they have known happiness and joy.
Now they face their most arduous task: Keir must take Lara into the Heart of the Plains, and introduce her as the Warprize to the warrior-priests. She must be tested--questioned, examined, watched--and must find favor with the warrior-priests and the tribe's elders before they will confirm her as a true Warprize.
But in Lara's heart there are doubts--for what if she is found wanting? Will Keir give up everything he knows to be with his Warprize?

Extraordinary!!!,
By
This review is from: Warlord (Mass Market Paperback)
I love Keir, I love Lara, I love Marcus, I love Simus, I love them ALL! Including Elizabeth Vaghan. This entire series was just dreamy. I couldn't put the book down! New readers, you have to read the first two of the series, which are also great (I wouldn't be wasting my time with a third of a series if it were a waste). I would really love to read more about Lara and Keir. There are, however, some things left unresolved, which is why a forth of the series would be so great. Like the effects of the ehat musk, or Marcus' story, or if Keir becomes a warking? All in all, the books were great, and all I could say is, "More! More! And more!"

This was the third and final installment of the trilogy and well worth the wait. A fabulous book that more than satisfies both romance and fantasy fans. This was one of those stories that I never wanted to end.

Wonderful conclusion to the series,

This review is from: Warlord (Mass Market Paperback)
I absolutely adored WAR PRIZE, her next one was OK, but WARLORD is exceptional. I know it was better because I had read WAR PRIZE, so if possible read it first. If not you are still caught in a wonderful world and will want to read it the first chance you get. Elizabeth Vaughan is one very talented writer, I find it hard to believe this is her first series of books. I can't wait for the next one.Lara and Kier have finally reached the Plains, now she must prove herself to the people. She and Kier are seperated and she is taken to the heart of the plains to go before the Elders. Many are very welcomeing and many are not. There is treachery and betrayal at many points but Lara comes through as a sincere loving woman willing to give up much for her Warlord and his people. Kier is busy rounding up support and sneaking in to hold his woman in his arms. Togather they will face every trial and with the solid support of friends and admirers they surely will prevail. This book is so great, never a monent of boredom, always something happening. It is never the expected always the unexpected. I adored it. It held my attention from cover to cover. Do not miss it. 15 of 17 people found the following review helpful

Great ending to a fresh voiced series,
By Jane Litte "Jane at DearAuthor.Com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Warlord (Mass Market Paperback)
And so it ends. Warlord brings to a close the stories of Lara and Keir which began two years ago in the surprising debut of Warprize and continued in last year's Warsworn. In a genre full of vampires, werewolves, dukes and carriages, this series brings the reader back to a simpler time when all people had was the earth and each other to rely on.Warsworn brought us from the city dwellers and onto the journey of Lara and Keir to the Plains where Keir would present his Warprize to the Council, be affirmed, and begin to effectuate change that would benefit his people. The people of the plains were dying at a greater rate that the society was being repopulated. Some of it was because of internal violence. Some of it was because of disease. Keir the Cat saw an opportunity to tie himself with a city and avail his tribe of the richness and knowledge that the city had with the traditions, customs and knowledge of the Plains people. During Warsworn, however, many of Keir's people died of a plague that was brought upon them by Lara's insistence on treating a village who were plague striken. It is honorable to die in combat but not because of sickness. Keir, as Warlord, is responsible for his people and the Council will judge accordingly. The strength of these stories is the unique world that is created. There are specific customs that must be followed as Lara becomes affirmed as a Warprize. It is an honor and Lara has the opportunity to return to the land of Zy and the comforts and familiarity of home or even choose a different Warlord. During much of the book, Lara is separated from Keir due to customs of the Firelanders as Keir answers for the loss of his warriors and Lara's status as Warprize is debated. Lara's life is at risk, as well, as many within the Firelanders fear change a city dweller like her shall bring. I loved the imagery of the people, their way of life, and the beauty of the plains. This is no wall paper fantasy story and much of the magic lies within the detailed recreation of celebration of elements (earth, wind, fire, air) and the rules and customs by which the Firelanders lived. Less loved by me where the constant heroics of Lara in the field of medicine and the lengthy separation, not to mention everyone's seeming captivation with chess, a game that Lara has introduced. At the close of the book, however, I couldn't help but want more. Surely there is more story to tell as Keir the Cat and Lara of Xy attempt to merge together a better future for their people.

Wonderful Conclusion to a Masterful Series!,
By Linka "Avid Reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Warlord (Mass Market Paperback)
I LOVED Warprize and enjoyed Warsworn as well, so it's not surprising that I ate up Warlord, just as excellent as the first book of the series, in my opinion.This book takes place where Warsworn left off (if you haven't read Warprize and Warsworn yet, stop reading right now and go read, otherwise the rest of this review won't make sense) with Lara, Keir, and the others headed towards the Heart of the Plains. We end up in the Heart and meet some great new secondary characters along the way. I love the way Vaughan develops the secondary characters. They're not filler like in other books and are actually developed and engaging. Each character serves a purpose in furthering and enriching the story. Of course, there are conflicts once Lara arrives for her confirmation. She represents great change, after all, and that's never an easy thing to accept. Her presence among the People of the Plains creates great conflict and tension in the novel, as well as great tension in the romantic relationship between Lara and Keir. They are separated for a good 100 pages almost, by the rule of the Council, but you never stop feeling their yearning to get back to each other and it's very touching (especially in one scene where they're a bit naughty and break the rules). The falling action had me at the edge of my seat, I totally didn't know what was going to happen next and there were some really great emotional scenes here. I agree with what one person said about the ending being a bit unresolved, but, I guess, Elizabeth Vaughan was trying to be a bit more realistic since times are uncertain in this world (think back to Marcus's "death comes in an instant") and although the hero/heroine are happily together at the end, they still have a lot of work ahead of them in merging and improving their societies. |
