I could not put this book down. I checked it out of the library with Lady Thief, and as soon as I finished Lady Thief I picked this up and finished it!! I'l try not to include spoilers by being vague so, the event that occurred in the tree in the King's Forest. I loved it! I needed it like I need air. However, with Prince John skulking around, not everything was idyllic. Nottingham, David, Scarlet at the beginning of the story, such horror and sadness overwhelmed me. I loved the ending though I wish we could have met a certain character, witnessed a certain marriage, and seen a little further into the future of the characters.
