Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Roberson follows her popular Lady of the Forest with another excellent adventure about Marian and Robin Hood that combines aspects of the romantic, fantasy and historical novel. The action begins when Robin and his men, who are living with Marian at her estate, Ravenskeep, learn of the death of King Richard the Lionhearted, who had pardoned the gang for their legendary thefts. The king's demise subjects them once again to persecution by the sheriff of Nottingham. Roberson cleverly interweaves this fictional crisis with the historical problems that surrounded the election of Richard's successor. For sheriff William deLacey and Robin's father, the Earl of Huntington, support opposite contenders in this political conflictAreviled Prince John and young Arthur of Brittany, respectively. Roberson's tightly written plot paves the way for events that might have come off as coincidences or accidents in less skillful hands, and her characters are engaging. Particularly strong is her construction of Marian, portrayed as thoroughly independent but not burdened with anachronistic feminist ways. Her incorporation of historical detail, including the handling of bows and swords, is assured and lends an unobtrusive richness to the tale, while Marian and Robin's tumultuous love should keep romance fans turning pages. Exciting and satisfying, Roberson's genre-blending novel may be her best yet. (Nov.)

From Library Journal

The death of Richard Lionheart, King of England, leaves the succession of the throne in question and bodes massive changes for Robin of Locksley and his lover, Marion. Roberson's sequel to Lady of the Forest continues the tale of the legendary noble outlaws and their quest for justice. Caught up in political intrigues and betrayals, Marion and Robin strive to hold onto their love without sacrificing their honor. Fans of historical fiction and period fantasy should enjoy this rousing story.

3.0 out of 5 stars A So-so follow up to Lady of the Forest, Nov 25 2007
By Misfit (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
First off, what on earth is the publisher thinking re-releasing this book with a cover like this? Any sex that happens in this book is left wholly to the reader's imagination - this is not a mindless bodice ripping romance. This book opens five years after the close of Lady of the Forest and Robin is still estranged from his father and living with Marian at Ravenswood (that's a bit of a stretch, openly living in sin in the 13C). Richard The Lion Heart is wounded and dying and the evil Prince John prepares to take the throne, the always over the top evil Sheriff of Nottingham is thrilled as now Richard once Richard is dead he can prosecute Robin and his not-so-merry band of men.

I have to admit this book just didn't sing for me, nor was the story enough to keep me enthralled. If you loved LOTF and are dying to read the rest of the story, you might enjoy this, but not as a stand alone book. Not great, but not bad either. Three stars

3.0 out of 5 stars A Satisfactory Sequel, Feb 11 2004
By Anna Balasi (Jersey City, New Jersey United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Lady of Sherwood continues, and finishes, the drama set in motion by Lady of the Forest. Robin, the rebellious son of the Earl of Huntington, lives with Marian in her estate. With them are the Merrie Enough Men, making ends meet, unmolested under the pardon of King Richard. It is upon King Richard's death that the trouble begins, not only for Robin and Marian's new life, but for the rest of England as well under the impeding rule of the detested Prince John.

Marian comes off stronger than ever as a character in this male-oriented power struggle, contributing far more than what a woman in the medeival ages is expected to impart, yet without overstepping the realism that is so well-embedded in this book.

This book is immersed much deeper in intrigue, and Marian's naivette in the first book had been completely irradicated in this installment. All the major players in this book push their characters to the extreme; Robin broods even more, the Earl of Huntington is more ruthless; the Sherrif of Nottingham more despicable... etc.

While I would have given this book a rating of 5, I could not help but compare it to the first book which, to me, holds more purpose in the context of why the story was told. In the first book, it was shown how Marian came to being as a woman and the lover of a famous outlaw amidst a brewing political struggle. In this book, Marian is made even tougher as the political struggles become more pronounced. It's like "Lady of the Forest: Extra Strength."

However, I would still recommend this book to satisfy the craving "Lady of the Forest" sowed in its readers. It's a fine read, well-constructed and well-developed.

Once again, Jennifer Roberson has captured my heart with her book. I thought 'Lady of the Forest' was wonderful, and this is the best sequel I have ever read. You laugh, you cry, you hate, you love.. To put it simply: 'This book rocks!' :D
