If I were to think up a phrase that would characterize my response to this book it would be: "I can't believe they managed to live through this whole thing." Kier and Lara are well and truly lovers, deeply entrenched in one another's lives and hearts, but their external circumstances are anything but easy. Add in the continued pressure from their enemies, the disappointment when old friends become detractors, and you have a book that is filled with lots of stress, tension, and worry

The final book in Vaughan’s trilogy.
‘The Chronicles of the Warlands’ reminded me a little bit of Diana Gabaldon’s ‘Outlander’ series. There’s no time travel, and Vaughan’s series is nowhere near as epic as Outlander – but on a smaller scale the two series have a few things in common. An outsider follows her warrior lover to his homeland. And both female protagonists are ‘healers’ – persecuted for their peculiar ways by their new adoptive people.

Those of you following my reviews know I had a hard time wading through Warsworn. I was frustrated with the characters, frustrated with the plot, and generally discontented with the dark direction Ms. Vaughan took the story. Warlord was a return of everything I loved in Warprize. It takes all the defeats suffered in Warsworn, and turns them into victories.

After waiting years to read this series I finally bit the bullet and caved...amd promptly kicked myself in the rear for waiting so long.
The entire "Warlord" series was one good book after another. In summary-the characters were all likable, the plot was well-written and I neglected my chores for 3 days while I consumed these novels.
The only slight gripe I would have with "Warlord" is that it dragged out the slightest bit toward the end, and there were More...

Once again this story takes off were Warsworn left off. Keir and Lara are headed to the heart of the plains, where all the tribes congregate for the summer. Lara must meet the Elders of the plains and be found acceptable before them, before she can be officially the Warprize and be Keir's bonded. This story was full of mystery, adventure, and intrigue. I love Mrs. Vaughan's world building it was so captivating to me. I love Keir and Lara's relationship and how it continues to grow. All my favori

From my blog. Please excuse the format.
My friend Kainani @ Kainanisreadz- not only recommended these books but she loaned them all to me.
Which means... I barely mingled with society for 6 days or so.
I am a woman of little patience so one major blessing of catching a series later then its publication is
that I can read them all back to back... one after the other. Suffice to say, this is another review
that will include the series as a whole.

Nothing exciting. OK read.
My ratings for all three books in the series are:
WARPRIZE (4 stars)
WARSWORN (2 stars)
WARLORD (3 stars)
This was the 3rd book in the series. It was pretty good, but not as good as the 1st one. In this book, the lovers must travel to his world, be separated, be judged by the elders and finally get the required approval to be together again. There are a few bad guys along the way.

*sigh* Oh, I love that moment when, after a wonderful story, you turn the last page happy, satisfied and filled, knowing there really is a happily ever after, even if it is in our dreams. "Warlord" finishes a trilogy that is the stuff bedtime stories are made of - a beautiful princess, a strong honorable prince (Warlord in this instance) who fight for their dreams, perils that threaten to destroy good, evil that is sure to overcome. *another sigh* Oh, that life wer More...

The final book of the Chronicles of the Warlands series was moving, entertaining and a great read. The action and intrigue kept the book moving forward and finally Lara and Kier were in sync with each other. Loved everything about it, except the end. From what I've read this was a trilogy, so was left disappointed when story lines weren't really wrapped up at the end. I was left thinking, well what about this, and what about him... Vaughan introduces sub-plots, but then leaves you wondering why

I can't believe the trilogy is finally over, I also think I may be in love with Keir? :D
I think it was a good ending to the trilogy, we finally got to meet those of the plains, and the Council. Above all though, this book wasn't just a romance, (Though it was a good one) it was also about change, change in society, change in thinking, and ultimately alternative and new ways of life. I liked that the book represented so much and still delivered such a great book without boring me.

A FANTASTIC TRILOGY!!!! 3/4 of the way through the book I wanted to throw the damn thing across the room at Starbucks Cafe! I was so freaking upset! Yet, that response is why it becomes fantastic. Had I been home, it would have been thrown. I wasn't even sure I would continue, but I wanted to be absolutely sure as to what happened. You have to read the books to know why. I would never give spoilers away! I recommend this to everyone!

Keir and Lara finally make it to the Heart of the Plains in this book, and must face opposition from the Council of the Elders and the Warrior-Priests to Lara's installation as Warprize. We find out more about Marcus, Keir's token-bearer and his bonded mate - I'm so looking forward to the (let's hope HEA for these two!). As much as I enjoyed it, I did feel there were a couple of conversations missing in the book - where, for example, was the conversation about babies with Keir? Where was the

An excellent ending to the trilogy started in Warprize. The characters continue to evolve as does the world building of the people of the Plains. While the story does wrap up many of the questions there are a few loose threads left dangling so hopefully there will be another book in the future.

The third and final of this series, and what a wonderful read all three books were. There's little I can say that won't spoil the ending, but I will say that the author stayed true to the rules of this wonderful world she's built. Very nicely done. I would highly recommend this series and I'm looking forward to reading more from this author.

With all of the build-up, I sort of felt like this ending was rushed. Not much of the unknown elements were hashed out. There is a LOT still up in the air for Keir and Lara's part of the story and some of the secondary characters as well. Starting on Warcry and hoping for more resolutions.

The main character Lara has matured and grown, in the 3 books in the series, to love the Plains people and her Warlord. I like the whole world that E.V. has created and I want to visit there again soon. I belong to 2 libraries and I will be haunting their shelves till the other books become avaialble. :)

I can't get enough of this series, love all the characters and the imaginative world. Reminds me of Native American ideals clashing with European settlers. Vaughan keeps her plot on track while still adding lots of side twists and sex. Looking forward to the 4th installment.

Fantastic series. Very quick read. Highly recommend these books.
Warning: The 2nd/3rd books were definitely more geared towards the romantic fantasy genre.
If only her other books were available on the kindle :(

I love this series!!!!
Great plot, plenty of action and I love reading about two such different cultures try to come to an understanding.
This review is for all 3 - My only suggestion is buy all three at once because you will want to consume them one after another. I read all three in a 24 hr period and I know have eye strain :(
Cheers

Keir, Lara and his warriors finally reach the Heart of the Plains. Lara is to be separated from Keir, questioned by the Elders and Warrior-Priests for her confirmation as Warprize and final word. During this time of test, there are grumblings amongst some of the tribes about bringing in outsiders and their ways. Iften, one of Keir's war leaders, has been especially difficult and can't be trusted at all. I thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy and seems like Ms. Vaughan may write further about Keir
