View Spoiler » I was so disappointed when he never returned. We are introduced to Robin with a series of flashbacks and his voice in her heard. And then, missing the feel of wool on her fingertips, she thought, Robin would have loved it. Marian is not morally grey–she does what she believes is right and doesn’t second guess herself.
She constantly goes out of her way to spare anyone unnecessary and pain and even when it is necessary, she feels guilty for what she has done. She is strong and unwavering in her belief in right and wrong, yet is not immune from pain and sadness for those she cares for. Along the way, a fantastic cast of side characters help her steal from the rich to help the poor.
She takes her grief and sorrow over losing Robin and channels it into doing good for the people of Sherwood. I previously enjoyed Hunted, Spooner’s take on “Beauty and the Beast.” This time it is the legend of Robin Hood, with Marian stepping up to take Robin of Locksley’s place after he is killed in battle. Sherwood was another very good book from Meagan Spooner. I don’t shatter for someone like Guy of Gisborne. I am a free woman and I am loved by Robin of Locksley. Sherwood will be released on March 19, 2019. Thank you to Edelweiss and Harper Collins for my ARC. So Marian must choose to make her own fate and become her own hero. She never intended to become a legend.īut all of Nottingham is crying out for a savior.
She never intended that the masked, cloaked figure she created should stand as a beacon of hope and justice to peasant and noble alike. When Marian dons Robin's green cloak, and takes up his sword and bow, she never intended that anyone should mistake her for Robin, returned from the Holy Land as a vigilante. Society demands that she accept her fate, and watch helplessly as her people starve. The dreadful Guy of Gisborne, the Sherriff’s right hand, wishes to step into Robin’s shoes as Lord of Locksley, and Marian’s fiancé. The people of Locksley, persecuted by the Sheriff of Nottingham, are doomed to live in poverty or else face death by hanging. Now Marian is alone, with no voice of her own. Betrothed to Robin, she was free to be herself, to flout the stifling rules of traditional society and share an equal voice with her beloved when it came to caring for the people of her land. When news comes that he's fallen in battle at the King's side in the Holy Land, Maid Marian doesn’t know how she’ll go on.
