The Life of Tana
The greatest warrior to have ever lived was a woman called Tana, a name that means “Strong Life.” She was adored through the millennia as the vessel of redeeming love and the protector of the seeds of a civilization. Unable to have children of her own, Tana adopted those who complemented her imperfect life and built a small tribe of rangers. Together they defended the tribes of the Danu River basin through education, training, and action. When Tana meets the lonely outsider from deep within the forest, everything changes. Her small tribe is thrust into a larger world of treachery and becomes driven to build a framework for a civilization that will allow the tribes to rise above the chaos of the wild. This is an immersive journey of friendship, love, and adventure in the ancient lands of the Celts. This Is a beautiful vacation into the wilderness of France over 8000 years ago. Hides the secret of the universe within its pages Is much easier to read than ancient scripts. Is way more portable than 800 clay tablets. Has beautiful Celtic poetry that made me fall in love, cry my eyes out, and short out my keyboard.

This book is more than stories about shapechangers, adorable squirrels, goofy wolves, frightful monsters, and wicked humans. There is much more depth to this story than I first thought.
After reading the third book in the series, I realized there was another story moving across the books. At first, I read Tana as a collection of related stories in her life. On the second read, I saw more subtlety and depth. Knowing how things turned out opened my eyes to elements I missed on the first reading. The sense of impending doom and grief was doubly heightened. Also, knowing what happens to Karateni in her book, The Sileku, made me love her even more.
The main characters of this book are very likable and their relationships are believable. It does not feel forced at all. Leosin is my favorite, a perfect prince charming. Like Thulvia, I could just eat him up.
The Life of Tana is one adventure after another with enough tension and emotion to make a glass of wine and box of tissues necessary.

There are a lot of good stories in this book. Thulvia and Jak are my favorite characters. I would like to see a book about just these two characters.
