This fourth book of the the Knights of Arrethtrae was outstanding and definitely worth reading. It is about an experienced and dedicated Knight of the Prince, Lady Carliss. After having just helped a friend with an adventure, she embarks on one of her own. It starts when her friend's family is kidnapped and taken to the city of Moorue. On her way there, Lady Carliss meets Sir Dalton again but before long, he is bitten by a poisonous lizard. As it happens, the cure is in Moorue in Lord Malco deadly swamp. Her feelings for Sir Dalton also arise again during her journey even though he is already taken by Lady Brynn. Can she master her feelings and defeat the spreading evil in Moorue before it's too late? Will she choose to save Dalton's life or the lives of some of the Moorue citizens? That's because all of their lives are running out of time but only one or the other may be reached in time.This was my favorite book in the knights of Arrethtrae series not only because it's the only one mainly about a girl, but because the theme made me analyze my life the most. The struggle, in the story, to not think about "love" was also encouraging. As always, the Christian allegories found in the story were amazing and thought provoking. I recommend this to other teens and kids, especially girls :), who want to be encouraged in the faith of Jesus Christ. The King reigns...and His Son.
The first time Chuck Black has written one of his books that had the main character a lady - and he did an outstanding job! Lady Carliss is full of action, adventure, suspense, betrayal, harrowing rescues, lovers in danger, and angels in disguise.This book, in some respects, is a continuation of the book before this, Sir Dalton. If you can, I would suggest reading Sir Dalton first before reading Lady Carliss - so you can understand were their growing attractions came from, but I don't think it's entirely a necessity. But if you finish the book and wonder when and where their growing attraction for each other came from, get Sir Dalton and the Shadow Heart and it'll clear things up!! ;-)Besides this little forewarning, the book is great! When Lady Carliss' dear friend Sir Dalton is bitten by a strange animal, she immediately goes in search of the antidote that is in the heart of the marshes of Moorue. While she is bravely trying to find the plant that will save his life, she gets mixed up in the dark schemes of a Shadow Warrior and she finds that either she abandon's a large group of the King's followers and hurry back to Dalton, or stay and save the King's people.From the very first pages of this book, you are instantly caught up in an exciting adventure that doesn't stop its rollercoaster ride until you arrive at the last pages of the book! While this book is recommended for teen readers, it is great for readers of all ages - old and young alike! I have all of Chuck Black's books and am constantly picking them up to read them over again!
The "Knight Series" and the "Kingdom Series" are both FABULOUS book series and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for all ages of readers. Some of the words the writer chooses to use do require a certain level of knowledge and understanding. The stories are absolutely wonderful and hard to put down. Mr. Black is a wonderful writer with a gift for story telling. There is never a dull moment in his books. It is amazing the character lessons he is able to portray in the Knight series. A truly wonderful set.
ALL of the Knights of Arrethtrea series are great. BUT THIS ONE is OUTSTANDING.Lot's of peril, suspense, and heartfelt drama. One that I'm sure those who arealready fans of Mr. Black's material will surely thoroughly enjoy!
My youngest son, Thomas, loved Chuck Black's Kingdom series. So when I was offered another of Black's books to review, I jumped at the chance. Lady Carliss And The Waters of Moorue is the fourth book in the Knights of Arrethtrae series. These books expand on the earlier Kingdom series. Though written for teens, this book caught my attention immediately. There is plenty of action for any fantasy lover -- dangerous creatures, sword fights, mysterious castles. The book also has a definite christian worldview, but it is subtle, unless you are looking for it. I know boys generally read books with knights and dragons, but this book should appeal to girls as well. The main character, Lady Carliss, is a valiant knight yet someone girls can easily relate to. All in all I would highly recommend this book. (I received this book from the publisher for free in return for a review. My opinions are mine and mine alone.)
I originally purchased the books in this series for my teenage son. He was so moved by them that he asked me to read them with him. We read through each book and found ourselves in tears at times. The morality and character in each book in powerful. A reminder that the road is narrow and few choose it - but the characters in this book did no matter what the cost. I can't think of a better series to remind my son that while he may feel alone in his Christian walk sometimes, we must always remember we are not of this world and have a higher calling on our lives. I loved that they included women knights as well! Loved everything about this story!
Lady Carliss, veteran knight of the Prince, is on a quest to save the lives of a family kidnapped by the evil Vincero knights. But when a close friend is seriously wounded and Lord Malco's nefarious schemes begin to unfold, she finds herself seriously lacking in the saving-the-world department.Unlike the previous books in the Knights of Arrethtrae series, this fourth title will appeal mostly to girls. But there's still plenty going on to keep any action-loving guy reading, like the ferocious esca lizards, the evil Lord Malco and his strange Waters of Moorue and a strange man named Oafy. Not to mention the hilarious so-called alchemist Petolemew.A blatant message and an ending I saw coming from a mile away somehow combine to make this book worth the read.
