A very unique and fascinating take on Robin Hood. Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2020
As historical fiction goes, one of my favorite genres, The Archer's Diary is one of the more unique additions to the genre. What if Robin Hood was a real person? What if there is evidence that this is true? All the characters need to do is find the rest of the evidence. Easy peasy right? Not so fast. Logan Daggett inherits an unusual collection of artifacts from his mother after her untimely, and questionable, death in an auto accident in Wales. The artifacts point to a shocking fact - that logan and his previously unknown sister are the direct descendants of a Welsh lord who may be the actual Robin Hood. Along with following the clues left behind by his mother, Logan and his friends try to make sense out of the death of his mother and father as well as being chased by some very determined people who really want to possess the artifacts. It's all jolly good fun. There is a lot of historical information scattered throughout the book that adds plenty of interest to the story. There are plenty of twists and turns and "didn't see that comings" in the book. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
