The premise of this book sounds interesting with the idea of a female Robin Hood figure!
I don’t read many robin hood retelling but I found this one to be quite enjoyable.
It took me a while to get hooked into the story but the moment Robin met the Merry Men gang, that’s where things started to get more interesting.
I enjoy reading the time where Robin got a taste of adventure and freedom she longed for, exploring the unknown and found a family that will support and love her for who she is.
The multiple POVs is a really great touch to the story so we can know each character’s thoughts and background story through each of them.
I really enjoy my time getting to know the reason behind why each of the Merry Men gang was cast as an outlaw.
As for the romance, the spicy parts didn’t take over the whole plot, there’s some and it’s well written. However, I find the age gap trope isn’t for me I guess, when the FMC mention one of the love interests to be twice Robin’s age I felt slightly awkward while reading it.
But if you mind that, you’ll have no problem enjoying this story!
Overall, it’s a pretty good read. I really like the plot and the huge cliff-hanger at the end makes me want to continue to book 2 to know what happen to this one particular character!
I’ll definitely keep an eye out for the next one to come out.
I received an advanced review copy for free from the author, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!
