  An ego fest with at least one but up to FIVE italicized words in. Every. Fucking. Sentence. The author states his pride in never causing any reader's eyeballs to bleed - well maybe I should write him and let him get off his high horse. I can't read a book with every other word shouting at me, or sounding like a strangled muppet. It's UNBEARABLE. SORRY, Michael MAKAI.

  The Warrior Princess Submissive is a continuation of Domination and Submission: The BDSM Relationship Handbook. The Handbook included sections in which the author attempted to categorize submissives, dominants, and switches. This book focuses primarily on a single type of submissive not included in the Handbook. That submissive is the Warrior Princess Submissive (WPS), or the Wonder Women of the submissive world.
  
  The author describes the WPS as “an idealized archetypal submissive…a notional prototype, unblemished and perfect in all of her chimerical glory.” (I was very thankful for my Kindle’s dictionary at this point.) With that being said the author acknowledges that even though the perfect WPS does not exist there may be a few submissives out there that come close. The WPS is described as an independent, motivated, strong crusader. Most would look at the WPS and think them a dominant, and to most people they are dominant. The WPS submits to only one person, her one true master. Typically the WPS is highly successful in life, but often times fails to see why she is so special.
  
  The author theorizes that the BDSM/D/s community is on the verge of a catastrophic assault. The assault will be brought on by feminists spurred on by The Fifty Shades of Grey phenomenon. That assault will lead to the criminalization of BDSM, and those that support it will likely face financial ruin if not prosecution. In the midst of this it will be up to the WPSs to step out of the shadows in support of the D/s lifestyle, and are likely the only chance the community has of surviving the assault.
  
  My summary is a very basic overview of the book, and greatly over simplifies some complex issues. Overall, I enjoyed the book. The author offers some really good insight on the D/s lifestyle, and submissives in particular. There is a nice blend of technical information followed up with personal stories. He also does a good job of mixing in humor to keep it interesting, but not so much to take away from the subject. I think this book will make you think, and will provide an excellent opportunity for debate among members of the D/s community.
  
  As far as the predicted assault on the BDSM/D/s community, I am a little more optimistic than the author. I think Fifty Shades of Grey will continue to inspire editorials and college debates. I believe it will also lead to a tremendous number of what the author refers to as tin pot doms and pseudo-subs, but beyond that I just can’t imagine it having the effect the author describes. As far as the WPS stepping out publically in support of the lifestyle, I can’t even imagine the courage it would take for a woman in business to make such a leap.
  
  The author provided a copy of this book though the BDSM group on Goodreads.

  I was given this book as part of the r2r forum on BDSM group.
  
  This is a great read. I think enough reviews have commented on the content of the elusive warrior submissive and her traits, but what I enjoyed most about this book is the style of the writing.
  It's written in such a way that I felt the author was sat next to me chatting, teaching and telling me his experiences.
  I found the content very informative, witty at times, heart rendering on several occasions and moving. I like that I felt I wasn't being lectured at,as this is the first book I've read by the author. I realise that he has written another book which I understand is a larger read, but I liked the fact he himself refers to this read in this text, suggesting that his other book can serve as a reference guild and can be read in sections, or at your leisure( as with this book..I would suggest). He states.."Pick bits you fancy, even back to front if you like...it may read better". Great stuff!!
  
  I would hate to get into a war of words with this author, as this was one area that the book threw me, my dictionary became my best friend. Some lovely words used, but left me what?.. Then a big, ohhhhhh
  
  I did enjoy this read and the authors own experiences spattered throughout, helped to break the "teaching" aspect I felt within the book. It's something I would refer to again, and will encourage me to look at Domination and submission, his other "reference book".

  This was an interesting read for me. I'm not involved in the lifestyle but I'm fascinated by it, the customs, rituals, psychology and negotiations involved in it. I haven't read the author's first book "Domination & Submission"
  (yet) but there was enough background information in the first few chapters of this book to get me up to speed.
  
  Overall it was an informative read. I learned quite a bit about what the author perceives to be differences between D/s, Topping/bottoming, the lifestyle and BDSM activities. I love his distinctions between submissive types and his special, new category for the Warrior Princess Submissive. While reading fiction & non-fiction books that involved submissives I had always been bothered by the seemingly-stereotyped "anything for my dom," "hand over my life to my dom," "too weak to survive without a dom." Were those the only types? Didn't make sense, too narrow, until he defined the Warrior Princess Submissive.
  
  He does a fantastic job of clearly identifying & supporting why he believes there is another submissive type, and I love the Warrior Princess. The author definitely makes the book his own, adding his own "two cents" for every chapter and not being afraid to tell it like it is, with his own sense of humor.

  Having read the author's first book in this series, "Domination And Submission, The BDSM Relationship Handbook", and also wondered where was the submissive counterpart to the ineffable Dom, I was very keen to read this book and find out a) what a Warrior Princess Submissive was in terms of being the 'Ineffable' submissive, and b) What makes her so special above all the other submissive types outlined in the first book. What I didn't expect, was to find myself bursting into tears by chapter six in the book! This was not because I really didn't think I was a Warrior Princess Submissive, despite the numerous similarities that I seemed to share between the various submissives described that make up the ineffable submissive, but more because those descriptions brought some very long buried questions and answers from my own childhood that I had never quite been able to understand. This book quite literally hit me directly in the solar plexus, and laid them bare before my eyes. How this could be, I will never know, but my new understanding of events and circumstances floored me beyond belief, and all I could do was weep. I now know so much more about myself than I would have thought possible before. This book turned me inside out.
  
  Mr Makai went into the subject of the Warrior Princess Submissive so thoroughly, it was clear He has an enormous source of expertise at His disposal, despite not having included this class of submissive in His first book. The explanation for this seems to be that this submissive alone is going to be so important to the salvation of the BDSM lifestyle in months, much less years, to come, that she clearly warrants a whole book to herself to fully explain who she is, what she is, and how she is going to be called upon to do this. He also informs us as to what she is not. Mr Makai describes her as "the submissive for the 21st Century" and already this is becoming extremely apparent. He starts this book by submitting not one, not two, but three prefaces, and in one of these He admits His 'verbiage' may not be to everyone's taste, but makes no apology for this and reminds the reader that He is also an incorrigible 'word-maker-upperer' and enjoys being so. Once you get passed the unusual at times verbiage, the book does indeed draw you in, and is a very good read. The serious bits, are interspersed with His characteristic "My Two Cents" at the completion of each chapter, whereby He uses His own personal stories and anecdotes relevant to the information in that chapter. These are to me, very valuable insights aiding understanding to the chapters themselves, and make for a much more interesting and informative read, than if they weren't there at all.
  
  There is even one of His famous quizzes in the book to find out if you are a Warrior Princess Submissive. As with all His previous quizzes, this is supposed to be primarily a fun exercise and not to be taken as a definitive guide as to whether you are or aren't a WPS or one of the other types of ineffable sub. I was actually very surprised with my own results, which require further discussion and clarification before being taken as read, so to speak.
  
  The book ends with the same format of appendices as the first book. Namely, a Glossary of terms used in the book, and a section entitled, "Silly S*** Mike Makai Says". I highly recommend you read this book as a companion to the first book, and also for the very informative chapter about the future of the BDSM lifestyle and the very real danger it is is in as a result of certain popular literature giving entirely the wrong impression of the REAL LIFE BDSM lifestyle and D/s relationship dynamics in general. A very real battle is coming which will rock lifestylers to the core, and it will take these 21st Century Warrior Princess Submissives to fight on behalf of all of them in order to salvage the damage done, and to be the salvation of BDSM and the D/s lifestyle for the future.

  I couldn't sleep after I started this book last evening, so at 3 a.m. I had to - HAD TO - climb out of bed quietly, sneak into the living room, make some coffee, and finish the damn thing! It wouldn't let me go once I started reading. I've should have known it was going to do this to me when I first tripped over a workshop title "The Warrior Princess Submissive" earlier this summer. It started a fire in my belly that has smoldered patiently awaiting the release of the book.
  
  When I read the workshop synopsis I became teary eyed because it was the first time in my life that "who I was" made some kind of sense. The idea that there might be people in the world like me and people who get me was a lifeline. I have lived decades with this screaming need inside of me to surrender, to submit to my Beloved. I wanted to live with the freedom of knowing that at the end of hard fought battle, my Beloved would grab the back of my neck, kiss me roughly and tell me the fight was over now. I was HIS to protect now. I wanted, needed to let him fight for me as well as beside me. I'd never known a protector's love, not really. And I wanted it desperately.
  
  With the exception of my early life, all of my battles have been with enemies that threaten the freedom and joy of the people I love, as well as mine. I found out very young that if you stand up, most of the time the bully sits down. And it they don't? Well then you gotta "go to the mattresses."
  
  Devouring the book last night and this morning has energized me. In fact, it's as if I'd had a full night's sleep. No enemies on the horizon - but should they appear I'm more than equal to the battle. I put down the reader stunned that someone I've never met could understand the fight that plays out in my mind daily as I make my way through this world. I feel liberated this morning and for that I offer a heart-felt "thank you, Mr. Makai."

  Note: As of 2016, the author, Charles Michael Segaloff "Michael Makai" (and is now "Michael McKay") is a registered sex offender in Oklahoma and served 2 years in Federal prison. Take what he says with a grain of salt.
  
  The book is an easy read filled with Makai's thoughts and stories to develop this archetype modeled on the famous TV character, Xena. While the archetype is purposefully idolized and glorifies unhealthy mental states, this archetype fills a niche that is missed among Makai's other s-type archetypes.

  Perspective shifting- the feminist submissive
  
  Very well written. Witty and enlightening . The Warrior Princess Submissive is the anti50-shades of gray. It gives the perspective of a male Dominate who actually is involved in the lifestyle and loves strong independent women who just happen to be sudmissive. It was interest and enlightening to read about women who aren't doormats who make a conscious choice and consent to a D/s relationship.

  I enjoyed this book a lot. The author does a great job of conveying his message through humor and self-awareness. I related to the content in a lot of ways, but not all, and I think it's a great idea for all women to read this book. Men, as well, if they're of a submissive inclination, but specifically women who have been told that their personalities are "intimidating" could benefit from some of this.

  A great source of information on the submissive type, the Warrior Princess. I found it enlightening. Makai has a conversational narrative that makes the reader feel like they're having a talk with an old friend.

  I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

  Like Domination & Submissions, this book presented a very detailed and insightful look into the presented topic. From my understanding, this wasn't an already established traditional submissive category and as such, the book dedicated a lot of effort into defining and establishing her as an unique being. What made her similar and different from the other types. Her persona, her individuality, why she does what she does.
  
  The archetype describes the person as someone who not only has innate strength, but exudes it. Essentially, she is independent, successful, powerful, strong. Someone who will fight for what she believe in and protect the powerless. Actually, the whole idea of the Warrior Princess Submissive is interesting in that it is an archetype and no one in real life would fit that mould exactly. Since no one in reality is perfect and all that. A point that was brought up and addressed nicely.
  
  This was definitely an update the BDSM culture needed to keep up with the way society has changed over the years. Talking about females in particular, the woman's role has changed significantly in the last few decade and here we have an example of someone who could function in the modern world AND be a submissive. In that sense, the book does read a little like a feminist approach to broaching the topic of female submission to a male lover. Sort of like justifying and defending the two sides of her being. This becomes especially prominent near the end of the book when 50 Shades of Grey was addressed.
  
  I liked the discussion of social issues, although I do not personally agree with some of the points raised. That, however, did nothing to diminish my liking for the book. And all in all, it was very informative.

  I currently am in D/s relatonships as a sub and i bet my Dom is sure that i am that type of submissive as is described in this book. I thought the same for a long time but reading it made many things clearer for me... I did find some core distinctions between me and that type, and had to admit that i am switch, not a sub completely. Those traits i thought were from a "warrior princess submissive" in me, happened to be dominant desires which i can't supress and give up, even after years of trying.
  Unfortunately or fortunately, time will show. Something is going to change in my life, and partially thanks to this book. Thankyou, the author.
  Put three stars because the author still can't go out of the sexist view, although tries to be gentle and compassionate to sub women.

  I have to say when I was given the offer to read and review thus book I hadn't played any attention to if it was a story like fiction or an autobiography which this book it a continuation from the authors previous book about a type of submissive he forgot to add what is rendered to as the missing submissive the warrior submissive has some great quotes from episodes of XENA TO show that the submissive can be courageous and not timid she has spunk and charisma like the white knight she fights for what she believes in this book is to help better understand the different types of submissive their are 4 gold stars

  This book fell short for me. It was well worded, informative, but it felt like overkill on one type of submissive. A type I am most certainly NOT. So it seemed like useless knowledge FOR ME. For a WARRIOR SUBMISSIVE, Yeah I could imagine it is chalked FULL of info that will empower you to be an even more amazing person, and sub. Even if you THINK you MAYBE a WARRIOR SUBMISSIVE, this book could really help your life. For me, It simply made me wish I were a stronger person.
