So, I am super happy to see C I N on USA Book News‘ website today under young adult fiction! [They cover what's "Hot, New and Noteworthy" ;o) in the world of books]
For those of you who haven’t had the opportunity to watch the book trailer: Here it is!
Okay, first I am in love with Jonas Armstrong. He made the perfect Robin Hood. The best ever [At least in my humble opinion]. I don’t normally gush over actors or shows [besides farscape] but the first two seasons were so fantastic I couldn’t seem to do anything but watch. How do people wait an entire week for a new episode? Pure torture. I didn’t have to wait as this is an older series that was cut after it’s 3rd season.
The 3rd season was still good but I hated the ending [season two's ending as well] and Kate, a great actress but was not the replacement for Marian. There’s nothing like the characters in this series–at least the first 2 seasons anyway.
Robin Hood begins with Robin and Much returning from the Holy Land. Much is his goofy servant turned free man [yet won't abandon Robin] pal. I loved Much’s character.
Then there’s Marian and Little John whom we all know. Little John is the leader over a band of ‘criminals’ according to the Sheriff of Nottingham they’re to be put to death on the spot. In this gang there’s Will. A quiet young man who has some pretty amazing skills.
Alan A Dale is what is known as the traitor. Robin saves him twice and Alan betrays him twice. Djaq is from the holy land and is a girl living in the forest with a band of robbers [was going to be a slave but RObin saved her ;o) ]
Even Richard Armitage is hot. He’s evil but wow look at him without his shirt on!! I’ve put some pictures below for you. I rate this series 3 out of 4 stars [only because of two disappointing endings]
