Summary: Warrior's Song...the best of Chandra made better
Review: Catherine Coulter has achieved what few writers ever seem to...actually improving on an already remarkable book. Warrior's Song is the "prequel" to the Song trilogy, now the Song quadriligy. Catherine has taken the best parts of Chandra, meeting Jerval, marrying him, learning to be a woman and added only more. Now instead of her lying to Jerval about why she won't come to his bed on their wedding night, she does go to his bed and discovers all the pleasures that await. But it is not enough to make her give herself to him in the most important way that matters. To give him her heart. Jerval is the most patient of husbands without being soft because he loves Chandra and wants to teach her to love him. There are many twists and turns to their relationship, but Warrior's Song is a wonderful book, much better than Chandra was, and I loved Chandra as well.

Summary: To find love where you least expect it...
Review: Chandra de Avenell is all woman. That is, physically she is all woman. Personality wise: she thinks like a man, fights like a man, acts like a man, dresses like a man, talks like a man, has the freedom of a man, dreams like a man, and... need I say more? She would never get married, never learn the ways of a woman, the life of a woman. She would always think of herself as a man.... until her father, Richard, demands that she marries Jerval de Vernon when he (Jerval) saves her from Graelam, who is tried to take over the castle and force Chandra to be his wife. She thought that Jerval was her friend... her comrade. They had shared friendly competitions, laughter and jokes. But now she finds that he thought of her differently all along.... Situations arise that make her realize she must fulfill the role of Jerval's wife but keep her independence and her freedom... however, is it possible to achieve both? Love comes in many forms, she soon discovers. She starts depending on him more but doesn't even realize it and when she finally does, it might be too late to save either of them. This is a great book, a true romance!

Summary: Warrior's Song = 5 Stars
Review: Exciting plots. Many thrilling events and richly written story. The characters are great. Chandra's bravery and Jerval's patience impress me. Graelam introduces himself so evilly that I can't wait to read his own story in Fire Song.

Summary: Irritating
Review: I enjoy Catherine Coulter's books, but Warrior's Song, just didn't do it for me. Chandra is so annoying! I am a feminist myself but somebody really had to knock some sense into her! I think it's wonderful she fights like a warrior and all, but puhleeze! All Chandra had to do was find a middle ground!

Summary: I was please with this book with a few excptions
Review: I found the book interesting and I loved it except for the fact that a rape occured in the beginning of the book. Personally I found this disturbing. The book has good plot and will keep you reading til the end. I agree that it wasn't one of Coulters best but it was good.

Summary: Not bad
Review: I guess it was a good book because I finished it BUT it is a bit confusing at times. Not really great but good light reading if you want a light easy book for the plane or train or whatever.

Summary: since when are rapists heroes?
Review: I had a very hard time actually reading this book through after the first chapter in which a character who becomes a hero at the end of the book and in fact stars in his own in a future book rapes one of the characters. I think that the attempt to make him seem less hated was that he was "nice" about it. Right there, that is a huge strike against the book. I don't care if this was the times, that is why it is fiction. Rape is not a part of romance and a rapist should not be the hero of a romance...at least not by an author who I ever plan to read again. The other problem I had was with the main characters and the changes that she goes through. She becomes the nice docile wife she is meant to become and he becomes a little more tolerant after "taming" her with sex. That is supposed to be romantic? My "favorite" line to hate was when she told him she was pregnant, shut him up and then it went on to say that it was probably the last time she ever got the best of him. Sounds like a match made in sexism 101.

Summary: Catherine Coulter did it again
Review: I have been a big fan of Ms Coulter for 5 years. Warrior Song was most recent book of Ms Coulter I read. She really did it again. I liked it very much. Today I came here to buy other books in Song Series. Ms Coulter is gifted in storytelling. I love the way she writes intimate scenes explicitly. Jerval and Chandra were truely hero and heroine. There were many excitements from time to time in the story. In addition to pleasure, reading Warrior Song (and other historical romance novels by Ms Coulter) gave me insight of history because her creation of historical novels usually based on real events of the past.

Summary: Disturbing Book
Review: I just read Warrior's Song. It was not as great as her other books. Yes, it kept you wanting to know what happened next but, there were too many events happening. Catherine Coulter rewrote this book and changed the title. She said that this is better than the original story. I don't think it is. Also, there is a disturbing rape scene in the first few chapters. This gives you a bad feeling about the book already.

Summary: A Bad Plot is Still a Bad Plot
Review: I like Catherine Coulter novels. True, they're not always historically accurate, but romance readers are used to some lack of fact in most works of this genre. However, the plot line itself is so inane that most readers will have difficulty in suspending belief. This book is a rewrite of a much earlier work. I think Ms. Coulter should have abandoned ship on this project. Our heroine is raised as a squire--a nice touch if you like the feminist, athletic bit. However, she has difficulty in grasping the most basic concepts, so protraying her as remotely intelligent or faintly likable is an exercise in futility. I liked the character of Mary, since she is the only person in the novel that displays a lick of common sense. The lead female is so obsessively male about everything she does that this plot line is stale long before the reader has reached the halfway point in the novel. You simply want to scream "Enough already." And so the reader moves from what was at least a coherent plot to the Crusades in the blink of an eye. The husband, who started the novel as a likable character, becomes increasingly authoritarian as the plot (which should thicken and doesn't), proceeds. A rapist, introduced earlier in the novel, is portrayed sypathetically, an error in judgement on the author's part, as well as a display of a complete lack of taste and sense. I found it offensive. The rape scene itself, which is not necessary, is too wooden and phony. I do hope Ms. Coulter gives up on the idea of revitalizing these weak earlier novels and writes fresh material with stronger plot lines, adding more depth and some intelligence to both the characters and the plot.
