Catherine M. Wilson

In Book III of the trilogy, Tamras must make her own hero’s journey. She ventures into the unknown and encounters a more formidable enemy than any she has ever faced. Character is destiny, and the destiny of Tamras and all her people will depend upon choices that come less from the skills she has been taught than from the person she has become, from her own heart.

A Hero's Tale

Loved the first two books but the pivot from a women-centric community to a generic fantasy war tale took me by surprise. All the elements of the first two books (meditative, peaceful, being one with nature, a focus on women) that I loved were dialed down, and I didn't care for the new characters (an influx of men all of a sudden?) nor the world beyond Merin's borders. I don't have any issues with expanding the setting - it even felt quite natural, following Book 2 - but this unfortunately diluted the uniqueness of this universe.

Still an enjoying read overall.
