A robber and a princess.
A girl disguised as a boy.
A medieval re-imagining of the legend of Robin Hood packed with adventure, sacrifice and romance.
Robin Hood, hidden deep in the Sherwood Forest, is fighting to restore the crown to its rightful king, surrounded by faithful friends, green leaves and clear skies. Burdened with secrets, betrayal and an incredible responsibility, he struggles to stay alive and keep the starving people fed. One day, a boy saves him from the Sheriff’s poisoned arrows. Robin, impressed by the slender youth’s courage and skill, takes the boy with him to the forest.
Only, the boy is not a boy.
In the castle of Nottingham, a maiden who used to be a princess is forced to obey the wishes of a tyrannical Sheriff. She dons on male clothes and trains to become a fierce assassin, vowing to catch the greatest criminal in the kingdom. But when she saves Robin Hood’s life nearly losing her own, she is rescued by the outlaws.
When Robin and the “boy” meet, two worlds collide, resulting in unimaginable danger and intense romance. Who will survive when they learn each other’s secrets? What happens when the assassin falls in love with her victim?
*My Review*
M.C. Frank does it again! This author has a way to make you not only "see" the book, but feel like you're actually there. I've never read the original Robin Hood (gasp, I know) so I can't compare the two, but this version was amazing.
So there's Robin Hood, the guy who everyone knows...the whole steal from the rich and give to the poor. Then of course the rest of the outlaws that all live in the forest. But who is this young boy that finds himself saving Robin's life? It's not a young boy at all, but an a young girl who has been sent to kill Robin Hood. She has trained for so long to assassinate Robin and get the revenge that she seeks, yet she keeps letting each opportunity pass by. Why? She can't love him, he's the enemy, right?

Meh...doesn't look like a book I'd want to read. Thanks for the review. Reviews help more than the blurb on the back of a book :)
ReplyDeleteProbably not, as I know your usual taste in books, but it was a pretty good book and I enjoyed being able to read an ARC.
