This is the second book in the Nottingham series, and there had better be a third book!! This continuation of the re-imagining of the Robin Hood myth is better than the first book, which by the way, was amazing! The writing is sharper, the human and humane aspects of the characters are more focused and the action is stunning. The sociological points interwoven into the narrative are wonderfully and subtly done. Pay particular attention to the writing in Chapter 61-it is the most brilliant, haunting and harrowingly beautiful depiction of what it's like to be in the midst of a war from the viewpoints of the people in the field. AMAZING!!!
