Now rid of Prince John’s henchman, William, Marian and their friends are finally free to relax a little. Their respite is short, however. A judge known for his integrity and doggedness has been dispatched to Nottingham by the regent to investigate the recent trouble, and from the town’s very bowels, drawn by the rumours about the theft of the royal treasure, another gang of brigands emerges, their hearts and intentions far less pure than those of the ‘Merry Men’ allied with the Hood …

I was far from impressed with this series as I think anyone can tell with the previous reviews but...this final volume won me over.

So many elements come out in this final part of the story and a few twists and turns -one VERY shocking-  and lots of action. Not remembering what happened in parts 1 and 2 was not a disadvantage as this story was written well enough that it did not matter (the other volumes you can buy form Cinebook of course!).

Had the series had this type of quality from the outset (it may have and I just did not pick up on it so one day I will re-read the three volumes) I don't think that I would have been such a moaner.  If you were expecting the usual "triumph of Robin Hood" then you will be sorely disappointed. The final few pages lead up to the final page and...well, that would be telling but it made me chuckle and say "Yeah!"

Really did not expect to be won over by this series. Maybe I need to check my meds? 😂😂
