It went girl, it gave us nothing! Sherwood is so flat it's embarrassing. The characters are one dimensional, the plot is just meandering around sad that Robin Hood is dead and occasionally vigilante-ing, and the setting might as well be an empty void.
I think this was going for a character exploration into Marian's grief over Robin Hood, but it doesn't work because Marian is such a nothing character and we only ever know Robin through little snippets. It was okay at the beginning, but the plot nor characters were dynamic enough to carry nearly five hundred pages.
