I felt like I was tending the elephants with Ivariel, singing the songs with the family, the torrential rain we had last night also felt very much like the rainy season in Nyamura, water everywhere and your clothes are vaguely damp all the time!

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review. Bumped for release. Oct 19, Timitra rated it really liked it.

At its very core this story is about healing, soul searching, preparing for things to come, awakening the warrior within and embracing new possibilities, new ways of life and thinking.

I readily admit that the story didn't go the way I thought it would which makes me happy in that it wasn't predictable but part of me wishes that some of the things I wanted to happen happened.

I still found it enjoyable and I'm excited to see what, if anything comes next. I recommend this series to those who like fantasy with darker themes.

Review originally posted at BooksOfMyHeart. She finally gets her happy ending in this story, but I dont see this as the last of her story.

I dont know how she will have more to her story, but I feel like this is not the last we will see with her. So, Warrior of the World picks up where Exile of the Seas leaves off.

Ivariel is recovering from the events at the end of the previous book. He introduced her as basically a fiancee without explaining that to her.

She is a tough woman and really does everything to protect her family, not just making sure they are safe, but also happy. Yes, she is a little over eager in trying to push Ochieng and Ivariel together, but that is what a lot of mothers do, so it fit.

Zalaika waved a hand, dripping with water droplets. We are not canceling the festival of kuachamvua, I can tell you that. For all the ways, obvious and subtle, that she was unlike my mother, she shared the ability to assert herself with the smallest gesture.

Are my daughters, for that matter? Another vast difference: I never, ever would have dared laugh at my mother. And while I yet breathe, we live our lives to enjoy and celebrate what we have—not to fear what we might lose.

I really feel the different personalities of the different elephants. I love seeing Efe come into her own.

She is a young elephant the family rescued. She has scars around her ankles where the previous person chained her.

There is nothing to stop them from walking away and not working for them. There is also Violet, who is the matriarch of the herd. She was the rock of the herd, especially Efe.

I really enjoyed watching Ivariel grow. This review is my opinion and was not requested or provoked in anyway by the author.

Nov 14, Visionary Druid rated it really liked it. She stays with the Dtiembo family to allow her body and mind to heal. She also feels she is not the right woman for Ochieng, who has voiced his feelings for her.

She is learning to adapt to the new circumstances in her life. I wish her relationship with Ochieng progressed a little more, but I also understand her reluctance.

They are helping her heal from her years of abuse and cold disregard. They are also helping her realize that not all families are like hers.

Ochieng may lose his patience with her, but he demonstrates that not all males are like her abusive husband and cold male family members. Mar 03, David rated it really liked it.

The tale of a princess who had received training as a warrior and who rescued herself from an abusive marriage and now finds herself in a quiet village in a faraway land in the company of charming elephant herder and storyteller who loves her.

As the story progresses, we see how the Princess Ivariel learns to let herself be loved and how she learns to return the love of the family who has taken her in.

Although I managed to dive into book three, I was able to follow the storyline with minimal The tale of a princess who had received training as a warrior and who rescued herself from an abusive marriage and now finds herself in a quiet village in a faraway land in the company of charming elephant herder and storyteller who loves her.

Although I managed to dive into book three, I was able to follow the storyline with minimal difficulty. Great character work in this short novel.

Jul 08, Mei rated it it was amazing Shelves: fantasy. Review to come Jan 22, Stacy rated it really liked it Shelves: netgalley. I really enjoyed the story and the growth of the characters.

In fact, I love the relationship everyone had with the elephants. They are such magical creatures and they really shine in Kennedy's world. I have mixed feelings about the ending.

I loved the fast forward look, but I would have really enjoyed seeing the years leading up to it. I loved their story and wanted more.

I still felt like their story isn't over and I hope I'm right. When bad things happen to good people, they can go one of two directions.

They become victims and spiral down or they become survivors who fight back. It is pleasing to see a pampered princess become a Warrior Woman.

With a life changing event like this, it is only appropriate to choose a new name. Jenna grows into her new persona as Ivariel.

Still with this new name and new fighting skills, Jenna is not fully recovered from her ordeal. She does not share her past pains with her new adopted people.

She does her best to integrate into the Nyambura lifestyle.
