Sherwood
Sherwood | Meagan Spooner
Fans of Danielle Paige, Marissa Meyer, and Alex Flinn will devour New York Times bestselling author Meagan Spooners next fierce fairy tale-inspired story, which Illuminae author Amie Kaufman calls a kick-ass, gender-flipped feminist retelling. Robin of Locksley is dead. Maid Marian doesnt know how shell go on, but the people of Locksley town, persecuted by the Sheriff of Nottingham, need a protector. And the dreadful Guy of Gisborne, the Sheriffs right hand, wishes to step into Robins shoes as Lord of Locksley and Marians fianc. Who is there to stop them? Marian never meant to tread in Robins footstepsnever intended to stand as a beacon of hope to those awaiting his triumphant return. But with a sweep of his green cloak and the flash of her sword, Marian makes the choice to become her own hero: Robin Hood.

He walks to the sounds of steel and fire, and the distant wailing of a Saracen woman. His sword in his hand before he‘s on his feet. He‘d been dreaming of rain on leaves, of the sound and feel of a wet day in Sherwood.

Decided to create my own bingo challenge for May, featuring all the Hoopla and library books I currently have checked out. I hope this will motivate me to get through them while simultaneously combating my procrastination habit of mood reading and indecisiveness. I'll roll a D20 to decide what to read next.🤓
21-25 are books I'm currently reading, or have already read this month. If I get a bingo, I'm (naturally) rewarding myself with a new book!

Meagan Spooner as well as the narrator on this audiobook version outdid themselves! This was exciting, full of adventure and my kind of romance. “Long live Robin Hood!” #48 #BFC22 #FAIRYTALECHALLENGE RobinHood #20in4 #Pantone2022Colour QuietShade/Amazon #Hikeathonreads #TheRoyalReadathon

This was a great read. It was a very interesting retelling of the story of Robin Hood. It was very impressive to see Marian take up the mantle of Robin Hood. I would definitely read it again and again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I know the story of Robin Hood - I think many of us do, in some form or another - so to have retold by this author, I knew I was going to be hooked.

What I didn't expect was to be crying in my bed at almost 2 am because of how much I came to care for Marian and her story.

When Robin of Locksley is killed at war his betrothed, Maiden Marian, is left floundering. Unsure of how to continue without him she throws herself into the affairs of the people and before long she finds herself becoming a figure of hope, a vigilante, and a criminal to the crown, Robin O'the Hood. A great twist on a familiar tale.

It was okay. I would have liked it better if there had been more romance throughout instead of all at the end, as is it was just tedious.

I am so utterly disappointed with this book. I was so excited to read a story about Marian taking up the mantle of Robin Hood that this displeasure is just sour. From the start Marian is so frustrating & makes stupid decision through out the entire book. Then that ending are you kidding me, Really Gisborne?! You have got to be joking. Also annoying having Marian be better at EVERYTHING over Robin, I have read bad retelling but this takes the cake.

I wanted to love this book -- the premise is promising & I like Spooner's co-writes -- but by chapter 3 I was skimming just for dialogue. It's overly wordy and easily could be half the length. Then there's the last 100 pages that take an unexpected turn, which I somewhat respect for the surprise factor alone but not at all for the content. It just felt icky. Definitely disappointed with this one. #ya #bookclub

So I started this two weeks ago and then put it down, I finally got back to it.. I‘m just not feeling this retelling. I don‘t like the type of personality written for Marian, and I hate all the “oh woe is me, my love is dead” and all the remarks about how being a lady can be so tragic with no man to tend her. and all the stupid decisions Marian keeps making, like...gahhh this isn‘t the Marian I know and I love. This is just frustrating to read.

Shley9225 I do believe she undergoes a dramatic character change and becomes quite a powerful and confident woman very shortly. I don‘t think she stays like this 5y
Sweetkokoro @Shley9225 have you read this one? if that does happen that would be nice but I‘m already 30% into this book and I‘m just so annoyed with it. The story is taking forever to pick up and Marian‘s personality is bothering me, I also don‘t like the whole “what would Robin do” aspect. She has a brain not every decision needs to be based on what Robin would do. 5y
ninergrl6 I couldn't get into it either. I "finished" it but by chapter 3 I was just reading the dialogue. 5y
Sweetkokoro @ninergrl6 I was reading reviews on goodreads and the complaints I have are similar to others. And it seems a lot of people DNF it, which is sad as I was really looking forward to this retelling but so far it‘s just bad. 5y
ninergrl6 @Sweetkokoro yeah I wanted to like it but it was hugely disappointing 5y

I'm enjoying this so far! It's YA, I believe, but it has a bit more description than I'm used to from YA. Nowhere near STRANGE THE DREAMER by Laini Taylor (my favorite read of the year) but it's good.

I loved this book. Robin Hood is dead. Maid Marian doesn't know how she is going to go on but she knows she doesn't like the way the people of Locksley are being treated by the Sheriff of Notthingham. So she decides she is going to take the matter into her own hands and protect the towns people on her own. She was a kick ass hero! Can't wait to read what Spooner comes up with next!

hermyknee I really want to read this one! 5y
