Summary
Summary
In Wind Rider's Oath , Bahzell became a wind rider -- the firsthradani wind rider in history. And, even if Bahzell is the War God's champion,because the wind riders are the elite of the elite among the Sothoii, Bahzell'sascension is as likely to stir resentment as respect. What's more, BaronTellian's daughter, the heir to the realm, seems to be thinking that he is theonly man -- or hradani -- for her. Now, War Maid's Choice continues the story -- and things really getcomplicated!

Publisher's Weekly Review
Weber returns to the fantasy realm of Norfressa and his barbarian hero Bahzell Bahnakson (last seen in 2004's Wind Rider's Oath) with an intricately plotted (albeit formulaic) story that sees the endearing hradani giant transition into a new stage of his life. The friendship between Bahnakson, a legendary champion of the god of war and Tellian Bowmaster, a powerful Sothoii nobleman, has gone a long way in ending the bitter hatred between the two traditional enemies. In fact, an ambitious canal project connecting the human city of Derm with the hradani city of Hurgrum is almost complete. There are factions, however, that will do anything to destroy this union. With assassins lurking and a campaign against a growing ghoul threat in full swing, Bahzell is faced with an unexpected challenge: marriage! Weber's impressive realm-building skills are in top form, but fans of his previous Bahzell novels may find the pacing a bit sluggish and the plot twists not exactly unexpected.

Booklist Review
Long time fans of Weber's light and humorous epic fantasy series will be pleased to finally see their favorite characters return for a fourth book in the War God series. In a world populated by many intelligent species, including human, dwarf, and the warrior hradani, the gods use avatars and others sworn to their service to fight out the eternal war between light and dark. Among the latter is Bahzell, the first ever hradani Wind Rider. This volume follows directly on the story lines of Wind Riders' Oath (2004), making it a difficult starting point for new series readers but satisfying for established fans.--Moyer, Jessica Copyright 2010 Booklist
