Well, I saw this character as being quite more helpless (and solitary) than Robin Hood was. :) But the attitude is certainly similar. |

An excellent rogue-ish novel in my opinion. I loved this novel! Whoever said it before was right; Sefris is a badass, despicable, but a great villian... The thief in the book is one of my favorite Realms rogues (why can I not remember his name?) The Realms needs a good thief story focusing on a halfling thief!
His name is 'Aeron'.  |

Robin Hood was motivated to steal from the reach and give to the poor. He was out to 'right a wrong' and did this with all means neccisary. However, IMO Kehrsyn (the Char) is not at all like that. I cannot see any similarities between the two, really. Just my thoughts |

I meant that she has the same sense of compassion for those who have little...but like I said, that attitude isn't too good for her considering that she also has nothing. |

| And I was using Robinhood-ish , in a very broad sense of the term. with the hopes that it was appropriate to the discussion at the time. As far as continuing on topic, thief characters within the realms, do not get as much attention as I would think. My favorite will always be Torm of the Knights of Myth Drannor. Cale, Riven,& Artimus are close seconds. |

| Why do Americans sometimes say 'Robin Hood' as 'Robinhood', with last syllable unstressed, as if it's a quality? |

As Scererar mentioned - off topic discussion. However, one last thing since the two of you, Rino and Scer, further explained your meaning I do understand and in that point can only agree with that. She is a good-person and shares that trait with Robin Hood, indeed.
On with the true topic of the thread: thief realms what book is good |

To be fair I don't see this as an "American thing". It's an error, yes, but I don't see it as a matter of nationality (it's not like I was taught to write "Robinhood" in my U.S. schooling or anything). |
