Timothy and Linden left the Green Isles with more then a stone and a few good men of the Children of Rhys, they left with the means of protecting themselves and their fellow faeries against the all conquering Empress. Returned home to the Oak the real work is now to begin. At any time the Empress would descend on the Oak she has vowed to destroy with her many hundreds of follower, willing or otherwise. But would the faeries of the Oak be ready?

This series keeps getting better! In ARROW, we learn about Rhosmari, a young teacher and scholar from the Children of Rhys, a group of faeries. The Children of Rhys live on magical islands off the coast of Wales, and have forsworn all violence. But now their society is in turmoil. (Spoiler alert!)
On the mainland, a faery who styles herself the Empress has enslaved many, and is intent on attacking and destroying those few faeries - the Oakenfolk and the rebels - who resi More...

The Knife series has been one of my favourites for a long time now, partly due to it being one of the first YA books I read and partly due to its awesomeness. When Orchard asked me to run a giveaway for the newest book, Arrow and to review it, I jumped at the chance.
Rhosmari was a fantastic protagonist. It was nice to see her with other Children of Rhys to begin with as it made a good comparison when she finally made it to the real world. After being hidden away all of her life, Rho More...

Once again R J Anderson has allowed us to visit the wonderful world that she created in the first of this series “Knife”. (Review of previous book in this series, Rebel.) In this book we are shown the battle for the Oakenwyld through the eyes of Rhosmari, a Faerie who has lived her entire life on the Green Isles as one of The Children of Rhys. The Faerie population of these Isles are pacifist by nature and have no desire to join a fight, but after the loss of their Stone of Naming they are unset

AMAZING!!!! I love the first two books and I love this one just as much. I think the idea of the bottom of the garden faeries being not as the fairytales will make you believe is a great one.
I think that the main character Rhosmari is a strong willed young faery who not only develops in this book but forces others to develop too. She has her own clear, lous voice and retains her true nature throughout. Even though all three books are similar, in no way did I have the 'I've read More...

"Arrow" is the 3rd installment in the series about the Faeries of Great Britain and especially the ones of the Oakenwyld.
R.J. Anderson takes us back into a magical world of love and war, true or false, friendship and revenge and bewitches the reader with her wonderful way of writing.
Yet again the story is from a totally different perspective then the ones before. After Peri ("Knife") and Linden ("Rebel") the reader is introduced to the young Rhosmari. More...

Let me start by saying how extremely disappointed I am. I am extremely disappointed that the next in the series is not released until next year and I am extremely disappointed that I hear it will be the last. I say that because this series just gets better and better and I desperately want to get stuck into another one straight away. Following the trend of the first two (Knife and Rebel), the book is aesthetically irresistible. Whoever is responsible for the design has done a remarkable job

I'm not sure how I feel about the character of Rhosmari! I liked that she had a reason for being a pacifist and that she was determined to stick to her principles, but she could be so passive at times that I just wanted to shake her.
Timothy was even more awkward in this book than he was in Rebel. And not in a genuinely awkward-teenager way, but in a sentimental spouting-deep-feelings way that was awkward to read. Did we HAVE to have another human/faery romance? I refuse to believe More...

I really wish I were feeling more energetic, and more coherent, in order to say what I liked so much about this book. But I'm not, so will only point out a couple of things. 1) Rhosmari is as strong a protagonist as Knife/Peri and Linden are, and is still herself. Writing three (with one more probably already largely written) books with intersecting characters but with the POV character changing from book to book without having the protagonists start to seem either samey or obviously construct

Arrow is the third book in the Faery Rebels series, following on from Knife and Rebel. The main character in this story is 16 year old Rhosmari, who lives with her mother Lady Celyn on the Green Isles, which is sheltered away from other faeries and humans. When Rhosmari finds out that Garan, her betrothed(even though she doesn't love him) has stolen the Stone of Naming, which gives Faeries new secret names so that the Empress doesn't know them and therefore cann More...

That's what I think of this book!
Oh my goodness, at the end I seriously did the whole hugging the book to my chest and jumping up and down and squealing thing again. It was just so amazing. I've read so many awesome books lately and written so many gleeful reviews that it probably comes across as though I love everything, but seriously you should go read how infrequently scathing I can be about books I don't like.

A very sweet fairy story.
It took some time for me to get back into this story again, but the I felt at home again. Once again I liked the characters a lot, even if I had my problems with the elders of the children of Rhys at first. But they, as well as other fairies, changed and were more like-able in the end.
The lovestory was kind of obvious (more for the reader as for the lovers themselves) and this time it was really great to read more about Knife/Peri and Paul, and even Linden More...

I can't wait for the next book!
It's frustrating how it ends because it makes you want to just pick up the next book and see what happens next even though you can't. Really because the next book isn't out till next year.

I am as proud of this book as I am of anything I've ever written. I hope those who've enjoyed the first two in the series will find it a satisfying resolution!

A bit slow to start - come to think of it, I think the others might have been too, but I just noticed it more here, because I was so eager for the action to get back to the Oak and all my old friends there. A fast and entertaining read though, with plenty of twists and turns, where I really ought to have guessed some of them, and was completely thrown for a loop by others.

Ever since I grew out of rainbow fairies I have been searching for another book involving fairies. I found it last year-Knife followed up with Rebel and now that I have finished Arrow I wonder how I lived before.

An excellent and exciting book. I suggest you read the first two books (Knife and Rebel) before you read this one for a better understanding. This is no ordinary fairy tale. I'm sure most readers would enjoy this book if they really made an effort to read it. :)
