IN LOVE AND WAR, SOME OATHS ARE MEANT TO BE BROKEN... Riding into the arena under the furling blazon of the blue falcon, Sir Conan de Corbney accepts a token from the young beauty, Lady Chandra,... This description may be from another edition of this product.
What struck me most about The Blue Falcon is that I expected a typical historical romance. Believe me, this is not your typical, funny historical romance. The plot is far more complex than others. Characters, such as Lady Chandra, Sir Conan, and Lady Udele, are well described and developed, both heroes and villains. Subplots are also very entertaining, such as the one between Lady Edythe and her lover. Other likable characters are Lady Edwina, Giselle, and Sir Medwin. The way medieval life (tournaments, balls, customs, etc.) is portrayed is excellent. The story also takes us through the pain,loss, and change of warfare (the Crusades). But most of all, what I most liked is how a stronger bond of love and feeling between the main characters (Chandra and Conan) is shown in this book than in any other historical romance I've read, and I've read a lot.
