Product Description
Rhosmari trembled as the Empress walked over to her. 'Oh, do not struggle. There is nowhere for you to escape,' the Empress said, her voice silken and sweet. Then she unsheathed a small dagger from her waist. 'This will only hurt a little...'
Rhosmari has lived her whole life on a sheltered chain of faery islands. But with the Empress's power growing, and her desire to enslave the entire faery race becoming a reality, Rhosmari knows she must fight back...

About the Author
Rebecca Anderson was born in Uganda, raised in Ontario, went to school in New Jersey, and has spent much of her life dreaming of other worlds entirely.
As a child she immersed herself in fairy tales, mythology, and the works of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien and E. Nesbit; later she discovered more contemporary authors like Ursula LeGuin, Patricia A. McKillip and Robin McKinley, and learned to take as much pleasure from their language as the stories they told.
Now married and the mother of three young sons, Rebecca reads to her children the classic works of fantasy and science fiction that enlivened her own childhood, and tries to bring a similar sense of humour, adventure, and timeless wonder to the novels she writes for children and young adults.

Format:Kindle Edition
This book is a continuation of the story that began in 'Knife' and continued in 'Rebel'. I like the fact that each book is told from a different viewpoint but that we still get to hear lots about the protagonists from the previous book. 'Arrow' begins soon after the rebel uprising in 'Rebel'. The main character is Rhosmari, one of the Children of Rhys, having lived all her life on the sheltered human free islands she gets quite a culture shock when she sets out alone to try and bring the Stone of Naming back to her people to avoid any confrontations between her people and the rebels they didn't wish to help. Sadly Rhosmari's plan doesn't work out exactly as she had hoped and she is thrust right into the path of the evil Empress herself.
Almost all of the characters from the previous books are present i this one, with most of the Oakenfolk and their humans, Paul, Peri and Timothy making a re-appearance. We also learn more about some of the Empress's followers, particularly Martin (the faery who stabbed Timothy in 'Rebel'. This book is interesting as we follow Rhosmari's struggles, not only with the Empress but her inner struggles over her own beliefs regarding violence and fighting.
I don't want to spoil the book and reveal the story or the ending but if you've read 'Knife' and 'Rebel' this is a good continuation and the story seems to finish in a way that could suitably end a trilogy. Definitely worth a read if you've read the other books, probably a bit too confusing as a stand alone.

My daughters and I have been reading the faery series together and loving it. What I particularly love about this one (and yes, you should probably read the other two before this to get the complete back story on why they're fighting this war) is twofold: Timothy, and the culture shock aspect. We already saw Timothy's own struggle in Wayfarer, and now he's emerged on the other side. I love his loyalty and slightly hyper admiration of certain faeries in particular and determination to do the right thing, "nothing wavering" in this one--he's very endearing! The culture shock aspect of the book that Rhosmari deals with is spot on as well. That feeling of exhaustion from trying to figure out what people really mean when they use words you understand but have a whole different set of rules underneath felt so, so accurate to me. And it's really two different culture clashes--the Green Isles faeries vs. the ones of the Oak and the ones from the Empress's realm, and the clash between different moral codes. Rhosmari struggles with the question of how to support the rebels in a war when she's committed to nonviolence, and how to keep her integrity in a situation she was never raised to face. Good stuff!
