Narration Concering Books Robin: Lady of Legend (The Classic Adventures of the Girl Who Became Robin Hood)
What if Robin Hood wasn't the man you thought him to be—what if he wasn't a man at all? Robin of Locksley is young, headstrong, and about to receive the worst birthday present of her life. Still struggling to define herself in a society that believes women are fit for little more than governing a household and bearing children, she balks at her father's plans for her future, but the consequences of her rebellion prove deadly. Hunted by both her father and the Sheriff, Robin is forced to hide her identity and seek refuge as an outlaw in Sherwood Forest. Disguised as a lad for protection, Robin maintains a careful isolation from the world around her...until she chances upon a young boy being beaten to death by the Sheriff's soldiers. Her rescue of the youth marks the beginning of her leadership in Sherwood forest and of the unfortunates who seek refuge therein. Robin's endeavors to provide a life of honor and purpose for her people while aiding the land's downtrodden win her high esteem, but enrage the Sheriff of Nottingham, who plots a deadly fate for her and her band. As the Sheriff's traps close in around her and assassins seek to bring her down, Robin must risk losing love, leadership, and life if she is to save her people and fulfill her destiny as one of history's greatest heroes. Alive with adventure and danger, sword fights and heists, hatred and love, Robin: Lady of Legend is the never-before-told tale of the girl who became Robin Hood.Present Books In Favor Of Robin: Lady of Legend (The Classic Adventures of the Girl Who Became Robin Hood)

This book started off well enough. It slowly started getting better, but then of course we got to some shit that started pissing me off.Problem #1. Our main character Robin has some self conscious issues that were never cleared up or anything. Robin constantly compares herself to her 14 year old petite(short) sister and while Robin was comparing her "manly" height I felt like Robin was saying "fuck all tall girls, short petite girls are way more attractive." Which really pissed me off. I'm notThis has really good ratings but I got a quarter of the way through and just had no interest in it.
I'm a fan of Robin Hood stories, in addition to King Arthur stories. I appreciate when someone does something fresh with it, which is a tough thing to do. Make it too similar and it's boring. Make it too different and then it loses what drew people to the legend in the first place.The basic premise of this one is that Robin Hood is actually a girl, Marian's sister in fact (so, um, yeah, they're no longer lovers). She manages to successfully keep her gender secret once she makes Sherwood Forest

A really sweet retelling of Robin Hood. This was defiantly a unique spin on a classic fairytale. I loved that Robin Hood was a girl. I also enjoyed the fast moving plot and characters. It was a sweet young adult (easily PG rating) read. No profanity, sex, etc. A charming but fast paced read to be adored by readers of all ages. It was also offered as a kindleunlimited. This was the first time I have read any of this writers work but I will be checking out more in the future.
Popcorn book. Clever re-telling of the Robin Hood story. But can you really read any Robin Hood story without still thinking of foxes, a bear, a rooster, a tiger?
The historical world-building here is incredible. I felt as if I really were in King Richard IIIs England while reading this novel. The original legend of Robin Hood is also closely held to, and even the question of how the legend formed is briefly answered.The representation of the difficulties a woman would face in this time period, disguised as a man, even, felt realistic, and strengthened the book.Robin is likable, if grumpy at times, and seeing how she forms relationships and eventually
This was a GREAT read.I will be honest. I did not have much hope for it. It is one of those dirt cheap kindle books that no one has ever heard of which was, incidentally, written by an author no one has ever heard of, that you buy just BECAUSE they are free or dirt cheap, but go into it knowing that at best, it will be mildly entertaining and at worst, completely unreadable.I buy those types of books all of the time, usually because they are listed as 'FREE!' in my BookBub daily email of free
