Recommendation: I liked this Rowan Hood book very much, and would recommend it if you have enjoyed the series so far. In this Rowan Hood volume, along with the other ones in the series, has adventure and humor. Each one gets deeper into a certain character's mind, and I thought it was interesting to learn more about one of the more mysterious member's in Rowan's band.
