There’s a running gag in this second instalment about Mary never getting to meet her now five-years-ago betrothed. The family gets to meet the young King Henry III, and when what should be harmless night of fun for the king and middle son of Marion and Robin, John, turns into a dangerous, possibly treasonous, situation. Mary and youngest sib Eleanor quickly get involved to protect John and the King.
This and the previous instalment are wonderful continuations of the Robin Hood legend, and I wish Carrie Vaughn would write more of these stories.
