Robin Hood #9
Robin Hood 9: Fury, Fire & Frost
The ninth episode in the latest sure-fire hit series from the bestselling author of Cherub. Teen rebel and social-media star Robin Hood continues his epic struggle against a new threat to the rebellion.
Robin Hood's father may now be Sheriff of Nottingham and working hard to root out police corruption and the remains of Guy Gisborne's criminal empire, but the Sherwood rebel's problems are far from over. Former sheriff Marjorie Kovacevic has been elected national president promising to round up illegal refugees and migrants and use the army to wipe out the rebels and bandits who control Sherwood Forest. But she needs to pass a new law before she can send in the troops to recapture Robin's home, Sherwood Castle.
Meanwhile Robin's half-brother John is living the high life in the presidential palace with his mother and becoming increasingly worried about the ruthless tactics she is employing to destroy the rebels. With tensions rising, war seems inevitable.

A good continuation of the story. I think all the characters have come a long way in their development.
This book is set nine months after the last book. Things are not easy for the rebels, but they have been going well so far. However, things are looking bleak, with the new PEPPA coming into play. The public backlash to this new act is creating a mini civil war, of which the rebels might be the first casualties.
This is the book where the rebels take their biggest hits yet. They are on the backfoot for the vast majority of the book. I also like that Robin needs to figure out some demons of his own after the end of the last book. A final reckoning seems to be on the horizon.

A real disappointment. My relationship with this book series is rather subdued anyway as most of the books are alright, with a few good ones dotted here and there. So my expectation wasn't huge coming into this, but I am still feeling disappointed. Everything I genuinely dislike about the other books are especially present in this book -
1) I do not generally care for Little John's chapters. This perhaps is more of a me issue, but generally I find them so dull. So when I am forced to read these chapters I am totally disengaged from the parts of the story I actually care about.
2) I find it insane that Robin somehow forgave Rosie for cheating with Alan. So while Muchamore spent so many books building up Robin and Marion's relationship to result in that they hardly speak to each other anymore; only so that it accommodates Robin having the most awful people as friends. Right.
3) Character development is either severely lacking or increasingly stupid ( I know this is a kids book, but kids deserve better than this surely?) There is a mini character arc for Robin when he doesn't want to hurt people anymore and wants to escape it all, so he opts to leave everyone and emigrate. This is crazy. The arc could have been so much longer and deeper if explored more, but it almost seems like an epiphany that he gets over so fast only for it to mean so much at the end (somehow).
4) The constant fast pace nature of the series is fine if accompanied by emotional weight that makes each scene worth while. But it doesn't. This is something that the first three books do pretty well, but as the series goes on while stakes get higher, somehow each action scene seems to hit less and less.
Book 7 is the series at its best. Emotional weight, fantastic pacing, great payoff. Book 9 is the worst of the series. Lack of character progression, lacklustre pacing, surface level emotional weight.
