As a warning, perhaps I should firstly admit that I truly love re-told fairy tales, myths, and legends, and among others I am a fan of Robin Hood. The only other retelling of it I have ever fallen in love with so far is Robin McKinley's Outlaws of Sherwood.

The twist in this one is that Robin is not a man, but a woman, and I have to say that ArceJaeger pulls it off quite brilliantly. The premise is very solid, and the progression is, at least to me, believable. The only spotty point I get in with is the mentions of the King, for I thought (and maybe it is even mentioned) that he is Crusading, and then he is mentioned to be back again, but as such things go it is a small detail and easily ignored.

On the whole, however, pacing and storytelling were excellent, and I rather liked this version of Robin and her merry band of men.
