The latest civil war in England has come and gone, King John is dead, and the nobility of England gather to see the coronation of his son, 13-year-old King Henry III.

The new king is at the center of political rivalries and power struggles, but John of Locksley - son of the legendary Robin Hood and Lady Marian - only sees a lonely boy in need of friends.

good read

Book 2 of the series is a good read but I feel like resolution was needed with the conspiracy and murder attempt. The perpetrators were just allowed to go and the instigator was given a harsh look and told that they would be having words with him later instead having all of them detained.

Great story, but problems with narration.

The narrator, while not terrible, makes every male character, regardless of age, sound like a 60-year-old smoker. Moreover, there is little variation in character voices, making it hard to tell who is speaking.
