Book Review: The Warrior Princess Submissive by Michael Makai
I have been wanting to read Michael Makai’s The Warrior Princess Submissive for a while. This is one of those books where the title totally caught my interest. I found myself thinking “Well, I’m submissive, I am definitely a princess, and who doesn’t want to be a warrior?” Not only did the title catch my attention, but another reason why I was so interested is because it’s refreshing to see a book specifically geared towards strong s-types. In my opinion, in BDSM fiction, the s-types tend to come across not so strong. We all know that being a s-type isn’t for the weak of heart, it takes a lot of strength and courage to submit, but they’re never really written as a strong, passionate, loud mouthed type who fight for what they believe in. I feel the same goes for BDSM non-fiction as well. Sometimes I do get the feeling that a lot of s-types out there get the idea that it’s not okay to be strong and able to fight your own battles and be submissive. So, to see someone who has taken the time to write a book encouraging a strong submissive type, I was all over that.
If you’ve read Makai’s first book, Domination and Submission: The BDSM Relationship Handbook, then you know that he devoted quite a bit of time and space to what he considers the nine basic types of submissives and dominants. He added a tenth type of dominant because he felt personally that he didn’t fit into the other nine, the White Knight/Ineffable Dominant. After doing this, he received a lot of emails from readers, asking him why wasn’t there a corresponding category of submissive to go along with the White Knight/Ineffable dominant. He states at first he ignored these messages, until more and more came pouring in. Not only did those emails have something to say about the missing category, but also that they didn’t feel they fit into those nine categories he had given and that is what inspired him to write The Warrior Princess Submissive.
Something you’ll notice right away in the book is that at the beginning of all the chapters, there are quotes from the TV series, Xena, Warrior Princess. In the first chapter, he talks about why. That if his role as a White Knight Dominant is to slay the dragon and save the princess, then his princess isn’t your stereotypical princess, but a princess more like Xena. This is a touch that I really like in the book because I feel it really adds something to the book and the chapters.
After explaining his inspiration for writing the book and briefly covering again the nine types of submissive he talkes about in his first book, he starts explaining the warrior princess submissive. He also includes The Warrior Princess Submissive Test(which you can take here online)to see where you fall on the warrior princess spectrum. After the first four chapters of the book, Makai goes quite in-depth talking about the traits, the motivation, and how she is the hope and salvation of the future of the D/s lifestyle. He briefly mentions this in the book’s introduction:
Finally, the Warrior Princess Submissive is-at least in my humble opinion-quite possibly destined to be the hope and salvation of the D/s lifestyle from an ever increasing wave of attacks by a small cadre of radical feminists and misandrists who seek to equate D/s with misogyny.
and explains in more detail in the last chapter of the book the how to why he considers her to fulfill this role.
After reading the book, I’m still not 100% sure whether or not if I fit into the Warrior Princess Submissive category. But that’s something I’m okay with because reading this book has inspired me to become a stronger slave. I think there will be others out there who feel the way I did after I finished reading, but I hope that they feel inspired as well by this book as I have. I also like to think that this book will inspire other submissive types, those who are new and old that they can be a strong submissive and slay their own dragons while still kneeling at the feet of their owner. This is another great book that I believe every s-type should pick up and read for themselves.
