Sovereign's War: Robin Hood: Demon Bane 3

What an amazing ending to a dark and chilling retelling of Robin Hood! Since "Sovereign's War" is the third of the series, it really needs to be read following the other two. I even went back and reread some of book two, just to get back in the flow of of events.Tuck and Viguié have once again combined to write a gritty, chilling tome full of magic, fey, and destruction. Yet, this, more than any of the others, is also a book of hope seeping into the darkness, and the darkness not being able to withstand it.I found this terrifying tale to remind me of not only the struggle between Light and Dark, but also many phrases and situations seemed to have Biblical allusions, if one wants to see them.The good, the bad, the ugly: it's all here in Sovereign's War. Who wins will determine not only the fate of England, but possibly the world.

Robin Hood is one of the mythological heroes I love to read. Debbie Viguie and James R. Tuck have found a way to retell the fabled hero of England. They somewhat used the old story of him but with a tinge of dark supernatural power and lots of twists and turns. This final installment has definitely given me anxiety for anticipating death is inevitable but not knowing who. When it comes, it hits you straight to your heart. Another good read!

So much beautiful story to tie up in a satisfactory way, and it's done incredibly well, even with a couple surprises thrown in. This iteration of the classic Robin Hood legend is entirely worth checking out.

A great end to the series.

great action
