Princesses of Myth #2
Warrior
Magio-Earth, #2
To love and protect...across worlds.
Eighteen-year-old Hope Wincrest calls the Outback of Australia her home away from home. She is a princess of Dralion from the planet Magio, where the two leading nations are at war. While in the Outback, Hope is warned by her warrior father--who holds the prophetic ability of forethought--that she is about to meet an enemy protector. She doesn't expect him to be her soul-bound mate, a man she must now work with to piece together her unknown mother's lost heritage.
Peacio's Silas Carver follows the calling of his soul to Australia, only not all goes as planned. Discovering Hope is his mate has him demanding his release from their bond. She agrees, but only if he first helps her learn about her mother.
Hope must lay her life in Silas's hands during a journey which takes them deep into foreign lands. Waging a battle of the heart, and of the land, can the young mated pair find their place with each other?

Warrior is the second book in the Magio-Earth series, and I found this story as exciting, if not more so than the first book, Protector. It took me a chapter or two to reacquaint myself, but once I figured out who everyone was, I couldn’t stop reading.
Hope is the daughter of Alexo. . .and sister to Faith. The shock of this immediately glued me to the story. I really had to learn more! Unlike in Faith’s story, Hope was raised knowing her heritage, aware of the war between her people and the Peacians. So when her father has a premonition of her needing aid from a born enemy, she has her doubts.
Enter Silas Carver! Not only is he from Peacio, but one of their Protectors and a close cousin to Prince Davio. Hope’s attraction to him is undeniable, and him to her as well. Sadly, happily-ever-after won’t work for these two. Silas demands Hope to set him free from their mated-bond. Of course she agrees, however, unexpectedly with a heavy heart. I couldn’t believe she released him, and so early in the story! UGH! Frustration ran high, but I continued reading more. Surely the author wouldn’t end their relationship before it even had a chance to begin, right?
Right I was! Hope’s father had a vision. She would need Silas to seek out her mother’s ancestors, in order to find answers to the deadly mind-merge her sister and her mate share. Oh, boy!
The bond between Hope and Silas held strong from the very beginning and as soon as Silas returns to her, Hope mind-merges with him, just as her sister had done with her mate.
The journey to set Silas and Hope free from the deadly curse pushes them to find Hope and Faith’s grandmother even quicker. . .and each day spent with the other, only increases their need and desire to be together. . .
Warrior held my attention from start to finish. Each obstacle Hope and Silas encountered had me jumping with joy, but often screaming in frustration. What made me fall in love with Warrior, is the heart thudding romance between the two main characters.
However, Warrior isn’t just a love story, it’s so much. . .more.

This is the second book in the series. When I started out reading it I did not realize this. The book seemed to start out in the middle of a story and I kept getting confused on some of the characters and what was going on. Once I figured out that it was the second book in the series it made a little more sense to me that it was in the middle of a story. I would recommend reading the first book in the series before reading this one.
It took me a while to get warmed up to this story but once I got involved in it I enjoyed it very much. The book focuses on Hope and her soul-bound mate. I like the snarkiness between the characters and attitudes that they have in this story. The romance is a destined from birth type romance so if you do not like that then this may not be for you. Both girls Faith and Hope have soul-bound mates. They are also the enemy of their father’s people. I liked how the author set this up so that the first two books are leading up to trying to bring peace to the two warring kingdoms.
I can’t wait to read the next one to see if the girls and their mates are able to bring peace to both kingdoms and if they will track down Hope and Faith’s grandmother. Their grandmother would be able to bring a lot more answers to the table for them.
All in all this is a good series but I would recommend reading the first book before this one. I can’t wait to see the next book and I will go back and read the first book.

Warrior takes place several weeks after the end of Protector, and what's good for the goose is good for the gander. After hints in Protector that Silas is going to get his karmic retribution in the love game, voila, he got smacked with the same predicament as his cousin did. I'm glad Hope isn't the stereotypical introverted twin personality as most are likely to be when the other is so extroverted. This gives Silas and Faith a balanced and equal relationship. The story is a fast read and well paced.

We meet Hope, a sister to Faith, which we read her story in "Protector", and Hope's bonding with another enemy Protector.
I won't expand on this story, as there are so many intricate twists, that giving part of the story away, would ruin the rest.
It is a very interesting saga, different to a lot of "Other Realms" type books.

Great read
What is it with these overbearing men. First t don't want the bond, then they do, and go all alpha and jealous. Glad they are finding strong, stick up for themselves mates.

Story of Hope, twin sister of Faith.
Faith told him he 'll have a bond soul with the enemy too. She was so close to the truth. Now, he just deal with it.

*Real Rating : 4.75
*Received copy of this book from the author for review only.
This book is absolutely a very nice read. Highly recommended to people who love the young adult genre (especially those who love men on horseback, swords, monarchy, royal bloodlines and land feuds), and those of fantasy type ( see magical abilities and skills that show up at maturation and soul mate bonds). I seriously suggest that you put this on your to-be-read collection.
Let me just say that the introduction (chapter 1 UGH) might be a bit boring but please bear with me and believe that when I say that it all comes together in chapter two. Later I realized that this and the sentences following were all because I skipped the first book, silly me *face-palm. The preamble of introducing a new setting, type of people who are way different than us earthlings and ever present dilemma may be a bit of a boring history lecture but please oh please do not skip this part, MOST ESPECIALLY if you had skipped the first book because this is very important in understanding the story, and did I mention that the classifications of people are a bit confusing? Yeah that's why I told you not to skip the boring part.
The whole story revolves about Hope, the twin who was hidden away from the knowledge of her mother and sister by their father who has the prophetic ability all for the betterment of everyone (he sees the bigger picture, LITERALLY). Her father also prophesied a vision, including a meeting with a protector ( one of the terms you need to familiarize, I' ll leave the others for you to discover *wink wink) but left out one very important fact. The said protector is her mate! Now trouble toils as an agreement is accidentally screwed, attitudes turned around 180 degrees (well not really but close enough!) and a sweet-but-not-sappy love story with a side dish of adventure is formed as this pair tackle everything that comes their way and witness the complete rising of their growing romance.
Let me just emphasize that I truly LOVE this book! Bravo to Miss Author Joanne Wadsworth you have made my back teeth ache with the gushing romance of this developing lovers without being too much on the silly romantic cliches. Uh huh let me say that again that there are no silly romantic cliches here but this is sure to make your heart go boom boom with all the love feelings people! And to put down this book (what book?! Kindle on phone please!) is a battle of wills. I truly spent time trying to weigh the decision of going to the loo with or without my phone just to continue reading (sorry, there's just some sacrifices meant to be done for the sake of reading a good book! Only few will understand!). And the characters are so super real, and the personality each and everyone of them possess are maintained consistent throughout the book! And please do pet me appreciate the story progress, One would never forget the feeling of the elusive thing, that the very important clue, the prime ingredient to unravel the whole thing, is at the edge of every paragraph. A different refreshing kind of read guys I truly really madly and deeply encourage everyone to read this stuff. This one's a true book for keeps. Happy reading and hope to share sentiments with other readers on this book. :)

Actual rating: 4.5 stars
I really loved the first book, Protector, and I was excited to have this one on hand so I could immediately start reading it. At first, I thought that it would continue Faith’s story, but that obviously wasn't the case. Instead, the main character is the twin sister she never knew she had. Hope.
Hope grew up in Dralion with their father, Prince Alexo, but now lives on her country’s station in Australia. She’s different from Faith because she has no strength skills. That they know of.... It isn't until Silas Carver shows up at the station and they find out that they're soul-bound that she finds out she also has the power of mind-merge. The two realize that they won't be able to just walk away from each other, so they go in search of the girls’ ancestors to find a way around the three-day death sentence. Without Faith or their mother knowing who Hope really is.
When Hope finds her great-aunt in the desert of No Man’s Land, she learns about her past and her powers start to show themselves. She has the skill of water manipulation, just like Elizara. And it’s at full strength, unlike with one of her good friends, Maslin. Soon, she'll have her rising and she'll need the people who care the most about her by her side. Goldie, Elizara, Maslin, Alexo. And thanks to a chance meeting with her sister, Hope will have Faith to help her through this time.
And she also has Silas. Because although Silas accepted the bond because she would die without merging her mind with his, he’s fallen in love with the enemy. And it doesn't matter that they now have a way around that, he’s not letting her out of his life. No matter how many times she pushes him to move on. Her grandfather, the ruthless leader of Dralion, still has no idea that his granddaughters are soul-bound with two Peacians. But Alexo will never make his girls give up their men, and he’s been keeping his father in the dark ever since he took Faith and her mother back to their country.
Like soul-bonds, blood-bonds are just as special and powerful. When Hope meets her great-aunt, her sister, and her mother, she instantly develops a strong familial love for them. Besides the soul-bonds, the family aspect to this series is my favorite part of the books. They take care of their own, and they are stronger together. It was beautiful when the family of four was reunited with each other. <3
I loved Silas in Protector, even when he was being a jerk. I was excited to see this hot-tempered, hard-headed protector fall in love, especially with the stubborn and argumentative Hope. Now he knows exactly what his cousin, Davio, was going through with being soul-bound to Faith. The girls aren't just regular Dralions, they are Wincrests, heirs to the throne and sworn enemies of their men’s family. These characters have a bumpy road ahead of them, and I'm sure more obstacles will be thrown their way. But I have hope that we will see the two countries of Magio, Dralion and Peacio, unite in the future. That they will no longer be enemies. And the power to do that will come from the youngest in the families and the soul-bonds that they have with each other.

I received an ARC from the author and have chosen to review it. This is the second book in the Magio-Earth series and it picks up not long after the ending in the first book. I really enjoyed this book because it is a continuation of the series with different main characters so you get to see what takes place within the story with different characters point of views. It’s really interesting to see how each character differ from each other. I absolutely loved this book and I loved getting to see how Hope wouldn’t put up with Silas crap. It was just a wonderful story and I can’t wait to read the next one in the series.

Ohhhh Magio/Drallion/Earth how I've missed this story.
It seems to of been a lifetime away since I read "Protector" I fell in love with the storyline straight away and couldn't wait to get my hands on the next piece of action from Joanne :)
And I was right.....this totally is my favourite in this series so far! Oh Holy hotness, HELLO Silas, you can be my mate if you want ;)
Yes in Protector he was the hot-headed jerk that we all came to love....*sigh* who knew he could be so lovey dovey in the end......
WAIT he's not :)
This is the story of Hope, she lives in the outback, Australia. Joanne has such a vivid imagination her writing is beautiful and she casts such a picture for the reader when were this story. She doesn't over do it with the detail and again the characters are loveable.
Hope is coming to terms with a few things in her life:
1) She's not alone any more
2) She is mated to the enemy
3) She's finally coming into her magical powers
Were taken on a magical journey of Hope and her friends in her finding out her heritage and about the curse of a power Mind-Merge
I love the witty banter that Hope and Silas have, there like two peas in a pod.
Yeah things get heavy, but who is it bes to turn to when things comes to a head.....family, and finally Silas, Hope, Davio & Faith have found them :)
So I do believe Joanne is going to be releasing a little novella in December 2013? Huh Huh? Interested....
Keep your eyes open for "Hunter" this is the of Lieska Alura a warrior in Dralion and Cole Cyrano a proctor from Peacio.
It seems to of been a lifetime away since I read "Protector" I fell in love with the storyline straight away and couldn't wait to get my hands on the next piece of action from Joanne :)
And I was right.....this totally is my favourite in this series so far! Oh Holy hotness, HELLO Silas, you can be my mate if you want ;)
Yes in Protector he was the hot-headed jerk that we all came to love....*sigh* who knew he could be so lovey dovey in the end......
WAIT he's not :)
This is the story of Hope, she lives in the outback, Australia. Joanne has such a vivid imagination her writing is beautiful and she casts such a picture for the reader when were this story. She doesn't over do it with the detail and again the characters are loveable.
Hope is coming to terms with a few things in her life:
1) She's not alone any more
2) She is mated to the enemy
3) She's finally coming into her magical powers
Were taken on a magical journey of Hope and her friends in her finding out her heritage and about the curse of a power Mind-Merge
I love the witty banter that Hope and Silas have, there like two peas in a pod.
Yeah things get heavy, but who is it bes to turn to when things comes to a head.....family, and finally Silas, Hope, Davio & Faith have found them :)

I got this book from the author, free of cost, in exchange of an honest review from my side.
Firstly I would like to thank Joanne Wadsworth, author of Warrior for giving me this book for reading and reviewing.
This book is quite like the tales of prince and princesses with magical powers and having kingdoms. I liked the book very much and the fantasy that we get to enjoy is top class. Here we meet Hope and Faith who have their soul bound mates but tragically and should I as predictably their mates are from the rival kingdom and the story revolves around them and how they fight against all odds to get each other forever.
I didn't read book 1 and so at first it was a bit confusing for me but as soon as I got the idea of the whole story that already happened in book 1, I started enjoying this book because I started putting the different pieces together solving this story’ s puzzle. So I would highly recommend you guys to go through book 1 before you begin with it. This is a romance based story but has lot of action and mystery as well. The small unexpected surprises that the author added here and there really spiced up the read and I quite enjoyed all those magical powers and the fighting between kingdoms.
All in all a good read and I would recommend it to ya all because it has some uniqueness in it and it was really entertaining. So, go on guys and grab your own copy as soon as you can. Enjoy, folks!

Imaginative world-building, stunning setting & a love fated to be.
Destined mates Hope and Silas come from warring countries. Their union is made possible through a creative magical system allowing them (and many others in Joanne Wadsworth's imaginative world) to teleport at will. Spending part of their time together on Earth and part on their own planet, Magio, these two work together to discover the secrets of their dangerous bond and to learn how to accept the fact they are fated mates.
The second in a series, Warrior follows Hope's story as she comes into her magical gifts and faces an unexpected mating to an enemy protector from a nation hers is at war with. Warrior is filled with as much angst and witty banter as the first in the series, Protector, and is just as delightful. More is revealed about the world Joanne Wadsworth has created.
This sweet, destiny-driven romance is sure to please YA and Fantasy fans.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the story of Hope and Silas so much better than Faith and Davio from the first book. It seemed more realistic. These characters are mated which means their soul is bound to another person. They don't get to choose this person. The way Faith and Davio accepted this in the first book seemed unrealistic and I didn't enjoy their love story. However, I loved the way it worked for Silas and Hope. They refused it at first, but they slowly fell for each other as the story progressed. Plus I just really liked these two characters more. I hope there will be another book focusing on them.

This was a fun fantasy book with a side of sci-fi. I enjoyed the idea of soul-bound mates, but the relationship with Silas and Hope felt really shallow and rushed. There was too much fast falling in love that their relationship felt hollow. Maybe I would have felt differently if I had read the first book in the series. However, I didn't feel like I was confused for not having read it. Overall a fun read, but I felt like I was wasting my time while reading.
