Everybody just goes oh, ok, lets do the right thing after years of not and call it a day". But it was an ending that made sense, even if I didn't particularly care for it :-)" (  ) BookstoogeLT | Dec 10, 2016 |  ) creighley | Oct 14, 2013 | Overall, I find the whole King Raven cycle a terribly disappointment. There was clearly a ton of potential here, and it was squandered. (  ) JeremyPreacher | Mar 30, 2013 |
 ...the third volume of Stephen Lawhead's retelling of the Robin Hood legends. He has transplanted them all to Wales in the 11th century and given them Welshy names, and made them Celtic freedom fighters. The dialogue is rip-roaring mock-antique, which like the florid similes in hard-boiled fiction might be a genre requirement but also can be made to sound like Monty Python if you read it aloud in a funny voice.

HTML: "Pray God our aim is true and each arrow finds its mark." The final installment of a completely reimagined epic of the man known as Robin Hood, told in a far more eerie, earthy, and elemental way than ever before. The story of Rhi Bran y Hud-Robin Hood-concludes as Abbot Hugo and the Norman invaders attempt to wipe out King Raven and his flock once and for all. Their merciless attack, the first of many to come, heralds a dark and desperate day for the realm of Elfael. Bran and his few stalwarts desperately need encouragement and reinforcement if they are to survive. But Friar Tuck, a most unconventional priest, has a daring solution to their dilemma that will radically alter all we've known about the legendary figure known as Robin Hood. Filled with unforgettable characters, breathtaking suspense, and rousing battle scenes, Stephen R. Lawhead's masterful retelling of the Robin Hood legend reaches its stunning conclusion in Tuck. Steeped in Celtic mythology and the political intrigue of medieval Britain, Lawhead's trilogy conjures up an ancient past while holding a mirror to contemporary realities. Prepare to hear an epic tale that dares to shatter everything you thought you knew about Robin Hood. .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

And deliver he did. The final book picks up directly where 'Scarlet' left off; with the Grellon disappointed in the King's decision regarding their kingdom. In response Bran is adamant he will fight until his dying breath to have his people free and unhunted. So he and his loyal companion Friar Tuck set off to Gwenydd in north Wales to try to bring back men to aid in the fight. Again they engage in a clever ruse complete with disguises to rescue the disposed king of the realm from the dungeons of the portly Earl Hugh.
Tuck is a fair narrator, his happy and cautious but still adventurous personality balancing out the dark rage of Bran, making the book speed along at a quick pace. By the final confrontation I was loathe to put the book down for even a second.
I highly recommend the entire trilogy as it never lets up, never dragging even to the last. It's entertaining, smart and will make you believe that this truly is the real story of Robin Hood. (
