The Ghosts of Sherwood | Carrie Vaughn
4 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 5 to read
Carrie Vaughn's The Ghosts of Sherwood revisits the Robin Hood legend with a story of the famed archer's children. Everything about Father is stories. Robin of Locksley and his one true love, Marian, are married. It has been close on two decades since they beat the Sheriff of Nottingham with the help of a diverse band of talented friends. King John is now on the throne, and Robin has sworn fealty in order to further protect not just his family, but those of the lords and barons who look up to him – and, by extension, the villagers they protect. There is a truce. An uneasy one, to be sure, but a truce, nonetheless. But when the Locksley children are stolen away by persons unknown, Robin and Marian are going to need the help of everyone they’ve ever known, perhaps even the ghosts that are said to reside deep within Sherwood. And the Locksley children, despite appearances to the contrary, are not without tricks of their own...

Robin Hood! Who doesn't love Robin Hood? Set after the epic events in his life, Marian and him are married and have children and there is an uneasy truce between the sheriff, kings, and other houses. Then the kids are kidnapped and Robin doesn't know if it's old enemies or new. With familiar names in the Robin Hood lore, John, Marian, and now his kids, Robin Hood saves the day again! It's a short novella that was just a lot of fun to read!

A one-sitting novella that shows what happens when you mess with Robin Hood's kids. A cursory knowledge of the Robin Hood mythos is helpful, so skim Wikipedia or watch any of the movies (dramatic or comedic) first if you are completely new to the property.

I will read anything with Robin Hood so snagged these as soon as the pre-order was up. These novellas feature Robin and Marian's children, who live up to their parents' noteriety. I really enjoyed these, as Carrie put it, Robin Hood fanfiction.

ARC.

Enjoyable without really feeling like a whole story; it's like a coda to the Robin Hood legends. Surprised and a bit confused that there will actually be a sequel; the legendary characters far overshadowed their children, and yet the sequel seems to be planned to follow the children. Meh?
