Knight of Sherwood is the follow-on to Heir of Locksley and it follows about four years from the events of this book. Robin Hood returns back from fighting and finds his family home overtaken by Guy of Gisborne, the current Sheriff of Nottingham. Robin spends his days the way people typically think of when it comes to Robin Hood - hiding out in Sherwood Forest with his band of merry men, robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. Readers are also given a glimpse into Guy's continued jealousy of Robin and royalty manipulating the system and doing the people wrong. All this brings the perfect recipe for some great action scenes. Parts of the book are told from points of view of the other characters who played a more minor role in the other book, to include John Little and Lady Marian. I really enjoyed the character of Marian. Robin and Will's relationship does evolve, which brings in a whole new set of complications. As a reader, I found this part of the book a bit unbelievable. At times, I was questioning what the point was. If you enjoyed the first book, I highly recommend picking up this one. The author stays true to the characters from the original. Great follow-up to the first book and looking forward to reading more.

This was a great continuation of this series based on the legend of Robin Hood. The characters from the first part are all developed further, the plot grows more complex, and the better known parts of the legend are reworked into the narrative.

I thought that it was a really enjoyable read and that the antagonists had some good development as well. As in the first part, I thought that there should have been a little more time spend on the relationships between the characters, especially between Will and Robin, but this is just a minor critique.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this series to people interested in a reimagining of the Robin Hood legend.

Knight of Sherwood is the worthy sequel of Heir of Locksley.

After fighting for years in the Crusade, Robin comes back home to Locksley to discover that his sworn enemy, Guy of Gisborne has been made Sheriff of Nottingham. Everything Robin has ever known before then seems to fall apart, and he is forced to flee into Sherwood: here, he will finally find a new purpose as champion of the poor.

In Knight of Sherwood, Dixon did an amazing job in shaping even more his characters, and making them grow significantly. I really loved the way the author has created a sort of "new" version of the much-loved legend of Robin Hood, mixing traditional with fresh elements like the feelings Robin has towards his more-than-a-friend Will.
As a fan of everything related to Robin Hood, I can totally say that The Outlaw's Legacy is one of the best series that I have ever read dedicate to this character.
I would recommend Dixon's books to all those who are looking for a beautifully written novel, where History, legend, political intrigues and fiction are entangled in a unique and unforgivable adventure.
