Sep. 13th, 2009 10:26 pmI just finished reading Outlaw by Angus Donald. The tagline, "Meet the Godfather of Sherwood Forest", could have been enough to put me off, as could the little silver sticker declaring "as good as Bernard Cornwell or your money back", but being a fan of all things Robin Hood, I bought and read and, actually, enjoyed.
I'm not sure why, it kinda spits on a lot of the mythology, plays with other aspects - Robin loves Marie-Anne for example. It has a lot of bloodshed and gore and some rather horrible parts, but I enjoyed it, read it in a couple of days and recommend it. It's bloody and gruesome, but I liked.
