I finished Stephen R. Lawhead's Hood last night (okay, very early this morning). I loved it. Mostly it is an introduction of the characters and setting up the reason why Bran (Robin Hood) has become an outlaw. Unlike the traditional Robin Hood stories this one is set in Wales and about a century earlier than most stories. Lawhead explains why in his afterword (my tip: read that first). My only complaint was Merian (Maid Marian), she just couldn't make up her mind about how she feels about the "invaders", one moment hating them and the next enjoying a feast with them.
What I also like is that it's a finished trilogy, I think I'll read the next one soon.
