This book is told in the third person point of view following Lady Marian, as she deals with the grief of Robin’s death. Robin’s view is sweet and I devour every word. I like that this story include Robin’s views because it makes up for the lack of romance from Marian’s POV, in the beginning anyway. It’s interesting to learn about what noblewoman is all about back in the days. I like how Marian weighs the pros and cons to being a man. She takes matter into her own hands when she finds out someone is in danger. She likes to carry a sword and practice archery instead of doing the duty and expectation of a lady. The main character, Marian is more of a tomboy. I started reading Sherwood on 9/3/18 and finished it on 9/15/18.
In her spare time she plays guitar, plays video games, plays with her cat, and reads. She's the author of the award-winning Starbound trilogy (These Broken Stars, This Shattered World, Their Fractured Light) and the Skylark Trilogy (Skylark, Shadowlark, Lark Ascending) as well as the upcoming Beauty and the Beast retelling Hunted. She currently lives and writes in Asheville, North Carolina, but the siren call of travel is hard to resist, and there's no telling how long she'll stay there. She's traveled with her family all over the world to places like Egypt, South Africa, the Arctic, Greece, Antarctica, and the Galapagos, and there's a bit of every trip in every story she writes. She graduated from Hamilton College in New York with a degree in playwriting, and has spent several years since then living in Australia. Ages 13 up.New York Times bestselling author Meagan Spooner grew up reading and writing every spare moment of the day, while dreaming about life as an archaeologist, a marine biologist, an astronaut. Though the romance is a sudden and late addition to the story, fans of retold classics will thoroughly enjoy Spooner's latest. But the novel's true highlight is Spooner's careful development of Marian's character as she comes to terms with her grief. Spooner writes thrilling, visceral action scenes, and her use of archaic language evokes the time period. When rumors begin to spread that Robin has been sighted, Marian must find a way to keep her identity hidden from both her allies (including Little John) and brutal enemies, all while trying to protect Nottingham as she believes that Robin would have. But after she hears that her maid's brother, Will Scarlet, is being sought as a fugitive, she sets out to save him, donning Robin's distinctive cloak as a disguise.
Marian is grief-stricken when she learns that her betrothed, Robin of Locksley, has been killed in the Crusades. Spooner (Hunted) has crafted an action-packed retelling of the Robin Hood myth in which Maid Marian assumes the role of the heroic figure to protect the people of Nottingham.
