Hood by Stephen R. Lawhead

3.0

I'm having a really hard time figuring out why I did not connect with this book. It was an imaginative retelling on Robin Hood that recasts him as a Welsh freedom fighter. There's even a cute little explanation at the end of the book where the author explains his reasoning for relocating the story in time and space. I usually love that stuff! But the pacing of this book was kinda weird and the characters were kinda flat. I don't know. It's not awful... I just didn't really enjoy reading it.
