- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This reads like nothing so much as Robin Hood fanfiction: disenfranchised beautiful young nobles living among outlaws in the woods, overthrowing tyrants to retake their rightful thrones. The passages about living in the woods are rather lovely, but the plot is...almost non-existent.
