Nancy Springer (Goodreads Author)
It has been little more than a year since Etty-once Princess Ettarde, promised to the power-hungry Lord Basil-escaped from her father and joined Rowan Hood's band of misfit teens and outlaws-in-the-making. Etty is so happy, she cannot imagine returning to her old life. That is, until her father appears to reclaim her. King Solon is determined to bring Etty back to barter h...more

I like how Springer is continuing the Rowan Hood story through the different main characters, so we get to know all of them really well and can see why they act the way they do and why they make the decisions they make. I can't say I loved Ettarde--I think Lionel might be my favorite, especially since he's more himself and less pretense now--but I liked her. Her story was interesting to follow, and I liked her loyalty to her mother and the love she had for her father despite what he'd done to he...more

After reading books 1 & 2, I'm starting to find this series a little too simple for my taste. Sometimes I really love YA books; other times they're a little too childish. This third book in the Rowan Hood series focuses on Princess Etty as her father returns to Sherwood to look for her.
I think a young reader would enjoy the strong and educated young girl who sticks up for freedom, but I found her unrealistic. (I don't remember any swearing in this book.) BTW, this author likes the adjective...more

Spoilers if you haven’t read the first two books.
I’m beginning to suspect Springer had/has daddy problems. Even Robin might as well be a casual brother, and not Rowan’s father. And this also seems like a rehash of book two, only tailored to fit the main lead of this book - the runaway princess Etty. Like Lionel from book two, Etty thinks herself a coward. Etty too has daddy issues. Etty also leaves the band/group to try and do things on her own, only to find out she needs the rest of the group t...more

For those of you who like beautiful description and lyrical writing, this is a good book. I think I liked it even more because I got to listen to the narrator do an English accent. (Everything sounds better with an English accent, which is why one day I will develop one.)
I must say though that I wanted a different ending. I wanted the band of outlaws to somehow find a way to . . . well, I won't add any spoilers here. And it is only the third book, so maybe the ending I want is in one of the next...more

This book was written for 4-7th graders. I read it thinking some of my students might like it. This is number 3 in a series (which I didn't know about). Princess Ettarde is one of the main characters-the other is Rowan who is Robin Hood's daughter. A nice little books about choices in life. Ettarde wants to stop being afraid of her mean father. A nice little book with a strong female characters.
The 3rd book in the Rowan Hood series, this one focuses on a runaway princess who is part of Rowan's outlaw band. She has run away to escape being forcibly married to a brutal older lord. But her father wants her back and to lure her close so he can capture her, he imprisons her mother in a big golden cage outdoors in the cold, clad only in her "small clothes," surrounded by guards. But of course, the plucky band of outlaws pulls off a rescue. Logan likes the adventure and the time period. I lik...more

I liked this series a lot. Simple, fun, a good read and not quite following what the other Robin Hood Continued books have done. This series is about Rowen Hood (Robin daughter) and her band of outlaws. It's cute, but double check to make sure you are reading them in order (there are 5 books). It gets a little confusing when you don't. :)
The 3rd in the Rowan Hood series, this book focuses on runaway princess Etarde, or Etty as the "band" calls her. In order to get her back to marry, her father has done a dastardly thing- he's put her mother in a cage with no blankets, etc., and very little fodd. Etty is outraged and compelled to set her mother free on her own terms.

Still enjoying this series a lot. At first this book felt very similar to Lionclaw, so I was a little disappointed, but some interesting developments in the second half of the book really caught my attention. Lionclaw is still my favorite, but I'm excited to read the rest of the series.
I was put into either fits of fury or laughter all throughout the book. To see etty be so merciful, I don't think I could have done that great read just as the previous two have been
2.5
The continuing adventures of Rowan Hood - daughter of Robin Hood - and her own little merry band, this time telling the story of Etty. A lot of similarities to Lionclaw, but I liked this one better. (Lionel annoys me more often than not, and I liked the war of logic towards the end.)
I'm still waiting for more to happen, though, in the wider world. Right now it still feels like 'getting to know you' type books, and I'm waiting for it to tie in to the larger arena with Guy of Gisborne and Princ...more

This is a series of books about Robin Hood's daughter Rowan hood.
(this is only book three.....there are a few more.)

I accidentally started this series in the middle, but I didn't even notice it until I saw "Book 3" on goodreads. Great "girl power" series and a great audio book. The narrator has a wonderful accent!

Ittard is a princess, daughter of a Lord, but when she is married off - she has had too much! S.S.
A fun spin on Robin Hood. An enjoyable, easier adventure read for the younger audience.
One of my favorites, or at least she was one of my favorite characters
this book was good. it solved a bit of the mystery of Etty's past.
Good book. But I read it before the second one...
This is one of my favorite stories in the series.
This was an okay adventure. Not entrancing.
The more of Springer I read, the better I like her work. Her girls have lots of dimensions -- they are not just strong heroines, but also gentle healers. Her young men are courageous too, but don't lose their sense of beauty or fun. These are good stories for young people. Robin Hood is there, a helpful figure in the background, but the real story is not the Outlaw King, but the band of misfit teenagers that Rowan Hood (Robin's daughter) has created. A nice quick read, perfect for the brain that...more
I enjoyed the book. I do like the time period and the adventure so that makes it more likely that I would enjoy it. I don't read to deep into all of the hidden meanings and worry to much about some one else, my granddaughters would intrepret the book. My 7th grader read it and has read the whole series. She is an excellent reader and has got me to reading again.
Etty has left her place as princess only to be tracked down by her father. She is determined not to return with him. But when her mother's life is threatened, she has to make a choice.
Very interesting book. Love the idea of Robin Hood having a long lost daughter. But Etty's dad shocked me...threatening his wifes life for the return of his daughter.

Runaway Princess Ettarde has her turn as the member of the younger band following Rowan Hood, Robin's daughter, to face her demons & discover her strengths in this third novel.
Princess Ettarde turn to be the main focus of the book. Good book.

This is a great second book to follow up Rowan's story!
It had possibilities, but then failed to deliver.
