good for people who are into Harry Potter & those type of books.

I was a little apprehensive about this series because I know the story of Robin Hood so well, and thought I would be bored with it, but once I started reading Hood I was hooked. The story took place and over the years the names have evolved into what we know them because they were passed down through the ages by word of mouth. That is the way the King Raven series is written. I felt this was a very believable story. I blew through both Hood and Scarlet too fast and had to wait about a year for Tuck to be published but the wait was worth it. Tuck summed up the story very nicely in my opinion. ( )

I thought the beginning was a little slow and confusing for me, but that could be attributed to the fact that I had not read its 2 predecessors. The Welsh names used for the outlaws threw me off, as did the different names for villians and locations (no mention of Sherwood or Sheriff of Nottingham). The story did not pick up momentum for me until Bran, Tuck, and company set out to free a captive king - and when it started to get more exciting, I definitely became more engrossed in the story and how it played out. Even though Tuck was more of a serious version of Robin Hood, I quite enjoyed it and plan to go back to Hood and Scarlet to see how it all started! ( )

This was a very, VERY satisfying end to what I've decided is to be my favourite "new" series of books. I loved the concept, the setting and the characters. The plot was twisted and beautiful in its imaginings...And you can actually believe this version of the classic Robin Hood tale.

Definitely worth reading, especially now that the whole series is out and completed. ( )

...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.
