I wanted to like this book but I couldn't. The characters fall in love after about a minute. The constant internal debate of the main character was maddening and, honestly, I didn't like anyone in the book.

The chase and fighting scenes were the only thing that I enjoyed. This may have been able to be a pretty good short story with a lot of editing but, for me, it didn't work on any level.

When I was in second grade I read Howard Pyle's Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, and it became a life long love of fantasy and most especially the legend of Robin Hood, this was an interesting retelling that made that old legend fresh again. Everything from archery tournament, fighting Little John on fallen tree trunk, to the bath they both take, is recreated with a little spin. I really can't wait to read the next book in the series.

Good follow up to the opening book of the series, I sure hope the author plans on writing more of these in the future.

Very fun and enjoyable! Both leads have interesting lives and circumstances, and they play off of each other beautifully. Cat in particular is a very engaging character. After reading this I'm very excited to read Murphy's other work.
