This is a really good book, definitely buy it! A perfect re-telling of the Robin Hood legend, this story concentrates on the women behind the stories, not the men. You really get to know the characters, really begin to feel for them, ther are so many characters, yet all of them appeal to you. Throughout the books, you recognise many of the familiar characters, which have been given a new identity for these books. For example, you recognise John as being Little John, Brother James as Friar Tuck, and many other characters from the legends. Definitely buy this book now!

There have been quite a few books in recent years focusing on Maid Marian. Theresa Tomlinson's portrayal is easily the best of them. She finds a new dynamic role for Marian that makes her more than a self-doubting romance novel heroine or simply a generic Merry Man. Her Marian is an interesting parallel to Robin Hood.
Marian and her friends (and family) make excellent role models for girls... and boys.
And don't let the young adult status prevent grown-ups from reading this book. It's better written than most "adult" Robin Hood books.
