A review by kiwilizzi
Sherwood by Meagan Spooner
5.0
It took me awhile to finish this book, but to everyone who DNF it, go back and read it to the end! You won’t regret it!
I loved the idea of Marion taking Robin Hood’s place. And all under the nose of everyone. Slowly, her identity is revealed to more and more people, but in the beginning, I especially admired her strength to forge ahead alone and not involve others who she might end up endangering.
I understand why some people stopped reading and didn’t finish. The book does start out a bit slow and continue that way for quite some time unlike Spooner’s other fairytale retelling (“Hunter”). The book as a whole, however, was worth the read. I thoroughly admire the writing, and the story was very unique and new.
For most of the book, I kept wishing Robin Hood would return and not be dead, but as the story progressed, I really enjoyed her ending up with a completely different man. Even though Marion hated him in the beginning. It felt so realistic and not rushed or fake. Other readers might not agree with me, but I loved it.
Very worth it to read to the end!
