A well imagined world with a Robin Hood-esque main character sets off the start of a promising epic fantasy.  When reading this book I found difficulty, at first, with the many locations and side characters to keep track of.  Certain characters I couldn't bond with either.  A sequel is desperately needed to hand, as, by the end of the book, all opinions will be shifted entirely.  Recommend to anyone looking for a Medieval fantasy revolving around disease, high politics, minor romantic tensions and a small flavour of found family.
