Robin Hood?

Upon rereading Robin McKinley's Outlaws of Sherwood last month, I had the sudden urge to hunt down some more Robin Hood and have therefore managed to borrow all of Stephen Lawhead's King Raven trilogy. Sadly, the first book has left me feeling distinctly less than enthused. I wasn't bored or annoyed enough to stop reading it after I'd started, but now that I'm finished, I can't think why! Anyway. I think my strange completist tendencies are now satisfied enough to stop reading this trilogy (unless anyone is more pleased with the subsequent books than the first?), but this situation doesn't satisfy my need for DIFFERENT ROBIN HOOD BOOKS. Does anyone have recommendations? ;____; Moar Maid Marian, by preference?

I remember loving Jennifer Roberson's Lady of the Forest, and that has held true even on rereads. I will say it's horribly anachronistic—Marian's rather more feminist than I suspect she would ever have been—but it's a lovely romance, if you're looking for that kind of thing!

You're welcome! I'm just glad someone else has read it and loved it. :D
