    This is the second book I’ve read in this series, and I’m totally hooked. Robin Hood has long been a favourite of mine, and I think this series does him justice.

    Knight of Sherwood picks up at the tail end of the Crusades, which Robin and Will left for at the end of book one. I thought the imagery of the post battle ravaged land, and the comparison with the jackal was very powerful. I liked that the author didn’t shy away from the horror of the Crusades, and that it wasn’t romanticized.

    Back in England, and the story catches up with what happened while Robin has been away. Robin and Will’s relationship has shifted too, but Robin wrestles with his demons, which I thought were realistic given the time period. He has been raised a noble, so it makes more sense that he’d struggle with his sexuality and the expectations of his position more than Will would. He’s also haunted from his experiences in the Crusades, and I thought the way the author wrote them felt very authentic. I also appreciated the way the author wrote King Richard—although he’s not very likeable in places his actions are realistic for the time, and for a man in his position.

    Guy shows no signs of the boy he once was in the first book, and he more than deserves his fate. Sadly several other characters do not deserve theirs, and I liked that the author didn’t pull any punches as Guy’s part of Robin’s story plays out.

    As the story progresses more familiar faces from the Robin Hood stories make their first appearance, as do some other original characters. I liked the women in the story, and the way they took their place among the bandits of Sherwood. Although Marian wasn’t very likeable, she acts as she does because of the impossible situation she is in. I didn’t agree with her choices, but it’s very clear why she chooses the path she does. I liked that way the author showed took the time through her POV to show her motivations. I also thought her reaction to her discovery about Robin was realistic. Unfortunately that is one of the harsh realities about historical fiction, and having all the characters react with modern day sensibilities would have felt like an anachronism. In saying that, though, I really hope fate deals her the hand she deserves as the series continues.

    While I enjoyed the first book in this series—<i>Heir of Locksley</i>—I thought the author did a fabulous job with this story, and lifted the bar still further. I sat up late reading several times as I had to find out what happened next. Although Robin’s story is a well known, the twists in this series meant that I couldn’t predict the plot. Although this part of Robin’s story has finished, the author hasn’t left him—or Will—in a good place, so now I’m holding out for book three, although I suspect they still have a rough road ahead.

    I’d recommend Knight of Sherwood to readers who enjoy well researched historical fiction. An interest in the stories of Robin Hood isn’t necessary though I did enjoy the easter egg references throughout the book. This story is action-packed, easy to get caught up in, and has interesting three dimensional characters. More please, and soon. Highly recommended.

    My absolute favorite movie as a kid was Disney's Robin Hood (you know the one with the Foxes and Prince John's side kick was a snake - because he was evil). Before there were videos (yes, I am old and yes I saw this movie in the theater), there were records with the story, the songs, and the book. I played that record over and over again and because I had a turntable that had a repeat (and I was lazy), to my mother's chagrin, I only played one side. So when I was offered the two Robin Hood based books, Heir of Locksley and Knight of Sherwood, I was pretty excited.

    N.B. Dixon does a masterful job of weaving the details of the story of Robin Hood we all know with details of the time, thus giving the book a very historical feel. Additionally, the characters are a little different and multi-dimensional. Robin Hood is not pining after the Lady Marian in this version; instead, she has a mind of her own, situations beyond her control due to her gender and her circumstances, and her own agenda. This is not to say she is bad or evil - no, those are very clearly defined in the traditional characters of Prince John and Sheriff of Nottingham. It is the characters who in traditional Robin Hood tales are the good guys. These characters are very complex, and through Dixon's skillful writing, the reader understands their motives, while they may not agree with their decisions.

    As far as a Behind Closed Doors Book Review book - it is very light on the spicy action (only a half-star), but the themes are mature. Will (the traditional Will Scarlet) is in love with Robin. And true to the times, this is not an easy nor accepted relationship among the villagers or nobles in England in the 12th century. The idea of loyalty, religion, king and country are also a major theme as this second novel begins while Robin and Will are on the Crusades in what is now Israel.

    I read both Heir of Locksley and Knight of Sherwood in succession and I know there will be a third. Could you read Knight of Sherwood without having read the Heir of Locksley, yes, but it wouldn't be as deep and wonderful of an experience as the first book really informs the characters. I am looking forward to the third book in the series!
