Rating: Summary: Fantastic Escapism Review: This was my first foray into Marsha Canham's writing. She absolutely hit the target on this novel. I havn't read the first two books to this trilogy, and it didn't hamper my understanding. The heroine is not all threats and huffy ineptitude as many historical romance ladies are. When she threatens, she has more than enough pluck to back it up. The cast of characters Ms Canham built and animated was remarkable. Each had a depth, each had a story. The myth of Robin Hood was brought brilliantly to life in a believable and sophisticated way. She has managed to avoid all the legend's stereotypical pitfalls. Definately a worthwhile read..I plan on seeking out the rest of the author's works.
Rating: Summary: Fabulous book. Review: This was so enjoyable to read -- a passionate love story, wonderful historical legends and a sequel to THROUGH A DARK MIST (also excellent). All in all, a fabulous book.
Rating: Summary: Makes you laugh and cry while reading it!!! Review: This was the first of the Black Wolf series that I read- not realizing that there were two just before, but it is still my favorite!! It helped to read the other two because you have character's that continue in each book. I absolutely love Brenna, and how she is one of the best archers. She is not one of those medival ladies that don't know how to do anything but sow, she has spunk and a great temper to match!! Griffyn is also amazing except that Ms. Canham could have given him one extra flaw, and that is not to be the best in all the weapons that he handles. It would have been great that Brenna was the better archer!! The story flows together very well, with the love scenes, the intrigue, and the secondary charather's (I love Sparrow, he is too funny). This book made me laugh and cry and I learnt a few things about the history of England, even is most of it was embellished. My only regret is that we won't have any more Black Wolf series!! Or will we Ms. Canham??!!! READ THE BOOK it is fabulous!!
Rating: Summary: One of my favorite stories of all time Review: When she captures a trespasser on her father's lands, Lady Brenna Wardieu knows that Griffyn Renaud cannot be trusted despite the fact that he turns out to be an acquaintance of her brother, Robin. And she is right. Griffyn has been hired to challenge Robin in an upcoming tournament and kill him. His only obstacle is Brenna who is determined to find out the truth about him. He is also very attracted to the Lady Brenna and it's becoming harder and harder to go about destroying her brother. There is a lot more to this story, but it's too complicated to go into without ruining the story.The Last Arrow is an engrossing read that keeps you guessing until the end. Not only is there a great romantic conflict, but there is also a lot of action, a truly evil villain and some great secondary characters. While The Last Arrow can stand on it's own, I really recommend that you read it in context with the series: Through A Dark Mist, In The Shadow Of Midnight, and The Last Arrow. If you like Medeival Romance, I can't recommend these stories enough.
