Editor's Notes and Comments:

Product Description:
Deep in a forest of Regency England dwells The Forest Lord-and there he dwells alone. A living legend, the powerful Green Man of yore has but one chance to escape his forest prison and one hope for love-the very woman he has vowed to destroy.

User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - Not Great
I found that this book was somewhat flat. It was ok but it was hard to hop straight into the story.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - A God Brought To Life
I understood the hero, Hern, within the matrix of Pagan religion. He is the God of the fibre and protector of all its creatures. Since humans have been so destructive toward Hern's domain, he is in conflict with them. So it is in The Forest Lord. In this book, there is a Faerie mythos overlay in conflict with Hern as I know him. At very first I found this difficult to deal with, but I eventually came to enjoy the novel on its own terms. Bits and pieces of the Hern I love coaelesced very nicely in certain scenes. Krinard also made very good use of the traditional Pagan religious festivals.



Rated by buyers 2 out of 5 stars - A bit below average for the genra
This is a typical fairy tale plot told in a pedestrian manner. The characters are rather flat. I found it disappointing having read and been impressed with one of the author's short stories.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - Interesting Approach!
A lot of people say after reading one romance, you've read them all. Well, that isn't the case here. I haven't decided whether I'm going to read more books by Susan Krinard, but I was impressed with Krinard's imagination, and her rather novel storyline. She combines regency romance with fantasy, which makes for a very interesting read. More interesting than vampire human love stories, which start on a slightly deranged premise. Krinard also gets to the spirit of love, perhaps more than many other authors. The typical romance has characters whose appearances are stationary. In contrast, Krinard's hero, Hartley Shaw/Cornelius Fleming/Lord Hern transforms his physical appearances throughout. Eden, however, is able to recognize his form no matter his physical transformation. *Sigh.* Overall, a very interesting story.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - THIS IS HOW I GOT HOOKED ON SUSAN!
ok get this, in all honesty this was an amazing book just because it was soo different. ok it has romance, but its not like your everyday, hum-drum ok they fall in love kind of book, it has more of a story behind it than most books. even though it has a half-god and half-human character in it, it draws from the reality and history of that time, it honestly transports you to that time, and place. she makes you believe that there was an actual event!!! ok sorry about my ranting but i do have to promote her were-wolf series!!!!!! ive read 4 and starting on my 5th, not to mention one thats in the mail!!!
