The Warrior by Elin Peer
5.0
In every book series there is a character who's story you are desperate for. Since first meeting Magni in The Protector, I have been eager for his book but also worried that it wouldn't live up to my expectations. Pah - how foolish of me to have worried so needlessly. If I hadn't literally fallen asleep whilst reading this, I would have read it in one sitting.
I laughed, I cried and I fell totally and utterly in love, again, with the complex and wonderful man that is Magni Aurelius. Small wonder Laura found him so hard to resist, even when he was being a pig-headed fool there is still something special about him. We find some amazing things out about Magni in this book, some of them will break your heart. They all work to build a picture of the amazing man underneath the hard, gruff and controlling shell.
Laura is simply amazing, and in many ways she is the character most similar to a woman of our time. I loved that she realised she had made mistakes too and that changes were needed from both her and Magni if they were ever to find the HEA.
As with all the books in this series, there are two stories running at the same time. Along side Laura and Magni's story of discovering their love is the ongoing story of integration between the Northlands and Motherlands. Although you could read this as a stand alone, it would work so much better if you have read at least The Protector and better still all four previous books.
Every single book is extremely well written, thought provoking and has made me both laugh and cry. The stories within them are powerful, captivating and lasting. I can't wait to read the next book, The Genius, to see both what the future holds for Shelley and for the Nmen and Motlanders too.
PS - almost forgot to mention that writing talent obviously runs in this family. There are two amazing poems quoted in the book, that were written by the author's daughter. Well done, you make an awesome writing pair!
