			        		Gr 7 Up&#x2014;In Marian&apos;s time, women (especially noblewomen) don&apos;t have much freedom. Yet with her betrothed, Robin of Locksley, she knows she will have more freedom than most. So when Robin dies during the Crusades, Marian is all the more devastated. And now the Sheriff&apos;s charge, Sir Guy of Gisemore, has been given the Locksley estate and has asked for her hand. Meanwhile, all of Nottingham is suffering under the Sheriff and Prince John. Fed up with the way her people are being treated, she dons Robin&apos;s hooded cape to seek justice. Spooner&apos;s novel is well written and engaging from open to close; readers won&apos;t mind the length of this hefty page-turner. It is primarily told from Marian&apos;s perspective with an occasional flashback to Robin before the Crusades. There is action, adventure, and just the right amount of romance. VERDICT Perfect for public and school libraries seeking more female-driven adventure stories and retellings of classic tales.&#x2014;Kristin Joy Anderson, Lewis University, Romeoville, IL

    A Unique Retelling With a Far-Reaching, Character-Driven Tale
  

*by S***C on March 25, 2019*









  
  
    Sherwood was a unique retelling with a far-reaching, character-driven tale at its heart. Spooner’s version of the Robin Hood origin story held real soul and conflict as it centered around a young woman grappling with grief and fighting the class of gender in a world that was inept at seeing their worth. And as the pages unfolded, more and more I admired Marian’s pure ambition to take hold of a hierarchy that no longer suited its people and to rise against it in the only way she knew how.Even with the story at times being densely packed and slow, I understood why it was needed and kept coming back for Marian. Her incapability to see beyond a few paces ahead of her good intentions was instantly relatable and true to her journey and bleeding heart. And due to that strong conscience, the unexpected nature of her fight both out of and under the cloak made for a story I couldn’t put down. She was never more real than when she had no idea the ripples she would cause yet she did what was needed anyway. Spooner did a fantastic job of sidestepping the tropes one would expect, instead crafting Marian in her own beautiful way. This was truly a character piece and I couldn’t be more happy that she was the main focus over any other element. And though I certainly wasn’t expecting the love story that developed, I’m all kinds of for it.Sherwood had a fascinating origin of a young woman not meant to become legend and should’ve been the original story all along. I look forward to the author exploring other fairytales and placing her own spin on them as she did this one.

    Long Live Robin Lockley
  

*by N***L on June 26, 2019*









  
  
    Rebel ReviewsWhen Robin Lockley dies in Jerusalem, Marian is devastated not only has she lost her best friend and love but the Sheriff's right hand man Sir Guy and Robin's enemy is being given Robin's land and wants to take Robin's place in her heart. Lockley needs a hero to save them from the Sheriff and his men and if Robin isn't there to do it Marian will become him and save them herself.When I picked up Sherwood I thought I was getting a much different story then I got. First off I thought this was a Robin Hood retelling with Robin born a girl and not Marian taking on his identity. After I got over the shock I really loved this book but not as much as Hunted the author's beauty and the beast retelling. I have always loved the story of Robin Hood a man who rebels against the system because it is wrong and takes from the people who refuse to fix it and gives to the people it hurts the most. That is my kind of person.I did feel this book moved slow which is weird because it had a great deal of action and suspense. Marian's grief over Robin's death was written very real and raw and I really felt for her character. Marian's love for the people of Lockley and the downtrodden is inspiring. As always Meagan's writing draws you into the story doesn't let you go. I love how Marian is a huge tomboy and not at all graceful in this book. It made me connect with her even more. I loved that one of the reasons Marian pretended to be Robin was so the people would have hope when they needed it most. I really loved the romance but then it is my favorite romance trope(though I wish there was more of it). I wouldn't say more as not to spoil it. I also loved Marian's band of merry men(one of the men was not happy with that name and I burst out laughing like a loon at his disappointment)but wish she got to spend more time with them in the book. This book had an important message about knowing yourself and what you stand for. Overall this was an amazing Robin Hood retelling and I highly recommend it to everyone who loves strong female characters, rebels, and standing up for the little guyRating: 4.5 starsContent Rating: PG-13

    A Robin Hood retelling to read over and over
  

*by J***H on July 4, 2019*









  
  
    I love Robin Hood retellings. Especially if Marian is a strong female character and not a damsel in distress. This book definitely does not disappoint! Marian is both physically strong (can out fight and out shoot Robin Hood) and strong-willed. Her strong-willed nature is what gets her in trouble and the driving force of the book. After the first couple of chapters, I thought I knew how the book would eventually end, but I was wrong. Although I was initially disappointed, I actually loved the way it ended.Marian and the other main character grew during the course of the book and they were not the same people at the end as they were at the beginning. The supporting characters were also well developed.There was lots of action and a little romance thrown in to make it a great book. One that I will read over and over. I highly recommend it.
