I was pleasantly surprised about this book. I read the jacket of the book and thought, "Oh no! Another Robin Hood ripoff!" Kuddos to the author for addressing this issue within the first couple of pages! She acknowledged that and tied it neatly to the story she was going to tell. Awesome!
The main characters of the book are all kids who have been orphaned because of the evil King John. The refreshing part of it was that the author kept reminding the readers that they were kids. They had a different view of the world and people around them and that was okay. They were kids thrust into an adult role but they still had their frailties.
The history behind the story was intriguing and well thought out.
The action and romance and intrigue were great! Love triangles, murder plots, mercy, humor, and revenge all had tendrils snaked throughout the book tying the characters all to each other.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone!
