Tuck

Rating: 5/5

Summary:

King Raven has brought hope to the oppressed people of Wales--and fear to their Norman overlords. Deceived by the self-serving King William and hunted by the treacherous Abbot Hugo and Sheriff de Glanville, Rhi Bran is forced again to take matters into his own hands as King Raven.

Along the way Friar Tuck has been the stalwart supporter of the man behind the legend--bringing Rhi Bran much-needed guidance, wit, and faithful companionship.

Aided by Tuck and his small but determined band of forest-dwelling outlaws, Rhi Bran ignites a rebellion that spreads through the Welsh valleys, forcing the wily monarch to marshal his army and march against little Elfael.

Review:

In a spectacular ride from page one to the end of the book “Tuck” is the perfect ending to the King Raven trilogy. It has daring do-s, deception, romance, and great battles. Not to mention no shortage of beautifully inspiring speeches from Bran, which are almost reminiscent of Shakespeare’s “Once more onto the Breach,” and the St. Crispin Day speech. The new tale of Robin Hood could not have ended on a better note.
