The characters are all entirely believable and the reader loves some, despises others and continues to see the older characters in more depth and despite them having their own flaws, only ever has respect for them. This is all testament to the brilliant writing skills of Mr Donald.

The rise of George Villiers from minor gentry to royal power seemed to defy gravity. Becoming gentleman of the royal bedchamber in 1615, the young gallant enraptured James, Britain's first Stuart king, royal adoration reaching such an intensity that the king declared he wanted the courtier to become his 'wife'. For a decade, Villiers was at the king's side - at court, on state occasions and in bed, right up to James's death in March 1625. As for ‘Young Alan,' he’s still an irritating, self-righteous, holier than thou, little shit. Only rescued by his ability to let his sword do the thinking and generally going against the majority of the 10 Commandments, handed down personally by the God he reveres so much. Even Robin’s legendary - in this series anyway - patience, must be sorely tested and it is, by Alan’s foolhardy, short-sighted, impatience. No sooner done, than said. No sooner said, than done. Robin doesn’t always manage to keep a lid on his irritation at pulling Alan’s arse out the fire he himself has started. Actually, it is appropriate - given the series’ premise - that it is Robin’s character has undergone perhaps the most notable change through the books so far. From a mythical-type figure in ‘Outlaw’ - to national - sometimes international - statesman, state maker and now, King-saver. He’s come in from the forest, in to the palaces.

I don't think i can give a review without spoilers. So if you want to read these series don't follow my review below XD In 1997, King's son Dexter met with Ray and asked him, "I just want to ask you, for the record, um, did you kill my father?" Ray replied, "No. No I didn't," and King told Ray that he, along with the King family, believed him. The King family urged that Ray be granted a new trial. [67] [68] [69] In 1999, the family filed a civil case against Jowers and unnamed co-conspirators for the wrongful death of King. The case, Coretta Scott King, et al. vs. Loyd Jowers et al., Case No. 97242, was tried in the circuit court of Shelby County, Tennessee from November 15 to December 8, 1999.

Woolley blends nuanced analysis with face-paced narrative.” — Publishers Weekly Angus Donald (born 1965 in China [2]) is a British writer of historical fiction. As of 2020, he has released ten novels and three novellas that loosely follow the story of Alan-a-Dale.I hope there is another book coming from this series. Deas is a crafty writer and he keeps me engaged throughout the story. The emotional Berren and him coming to terms with who is is interesting and a little annoying at times. But nothing you cannot get past. The King’s Assassin is the seventh and penultimate book in Angus Donald’s wonderfully gripping Outlaw Chronicles. The King's Assassin' is a truly gripping read from start to finish and leaves the reader very impatient to read the next episode in the dark life of Robin Hood! Rosenberg, Jennifer.
