"All the women of my family had gone to war... Now my turn had come... So, it is the custom that a free woman leave her mother's house to bind herself and those of her blood to a neighboring clan, either by the sword or by the cradle."

So begins the story of young Tamras, as she embarks on her journey to become a warrior's apprentice. This epic story is not about battles and armor, but rather about relationships, coming of age and wisdom, and deep insights into the human experience.

Loved the narration. I also really liked how women centric the story was throhought the whole time. It ended a bit too abruptly and I would have been disappointed if I didn't know that there were more books. The whole experience was really relaxing and made for an easy listening experience.

What did you like most about When Women Were Warriors Book I?

I love how you learn about each of the main characters, and hear their stories. I love that it celebrates women being strong and venerable, fighting hard but loving harder. And of course I love the actual stories within the When Women were warriors. It's cleverly written, with so much imagination. I absolutely love this audio book.

What was one of the most memorable moments of When Women Were Warriors Book I?

The relationship between the women. So many wonderful and powerful memorable moments. But they would spoil the read or listen.

Have you listened to any of Janis Ian’s other performances? How does this one compare?

I haven't but I do love her voice. And believed it was perfect for this book.

Any additional comments?

Loved listening to this book. I really hope the other two are recorded at some point too. Highly recommended.

I can't stop listening! Beautiful & so much more.

I'm not going to review this as others have already done a better job than I can. However, if you want bloody battle scenes, rape and pillage you'll be disappointed. All I can say, is do yourself a favour and listen to this - Janis Ian is fabulous and reads this beautiful book with a slow calm rhythmic voice of the Scandinavian people. Now I want more but see that Audible hasn't obliged, so I'm off to Buy the Book, oh and hunt out some Janis Ian records on Spoty.

Delicious

The story was gripping, they situations described in glorious detail hit homeband I cared about the characters.

I was a bit sad that book 2 is not on audiobooks - I might have to get the actual book!
