The sheriff strikes back
A good book, Robin is in a lot less of the book Marion and Little John take the main focus of yhe story.
This book is slightly less action packed then the other books in the series, but there are big changes and big moves that happen in this book.
After being on the back foot for a long your the Sheriff is taking the fight yo the Rebels. Helped out by the weather of tremendous rainfall the forest people are already reeling.
Marion get a taste of what it is like to be infamous with people after her. Little John must choose a side between his mother and brother. Even though this book has Robin foing less I do like that it is due to him being so young, but he us starting to be given more responsibility and included in planning sessions.
Big changes in this book, I sm definitely looking forward to seeing what happens next.

This. Book. Is. HORRIBLE.
Literally the worst book I have read in my entire life. I have no idea why I even started it; the cover, title, and description on the back of the book kinda make the quality obvious. Not to mention it's the fourth book and I'd never even heard of books 1, 2, or 3.
Still, nothing could have prepared me for the tortuous reading ahead. The character arcs were awful, the plot was the epitome of twaddle, and the crude humour, cussing, and overall abominable writing made it an absolute nightmare come true for a book lover.
So if you see it on the shelf and think, 'Oh, this looks interesting,' spare yourself the agony and pass on it. There are better books out there.

Easily one of my favourite books of all time. An incredibly exciting read that kept me on the edge of my seat, I had trouble putting this book down, sometimes half an hour after I planned on doing soon! I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in action novels, saving the day, epic battles and huge plans, and technology.

much like the previous 3 books in this series, robert muchamore has not failed to make another thrilling book, this time including romance, which is a rather interesting addition to this book. surprisingly, the romance aspect of this book did not hinder the action aspect and instead made the motives for the actions taken by the characters more clear. the character development could be slightly improved, but otherwise it is a wonderful book.

The fourth instalment in the Robin Hood series by Robert Muchamore continues in the vein of its predecessors. There is much to appeal to the tween reader; the pace is fast, there are clever plays on the original legend, there are explosions, a spot of romance and an identifiable narrator. The cyber aspect of this book adds to the intrigue and the cliff-hanger clearly signals that book number five is on its way.
