#BookReview: Nottingham: The True Story of Robyn Hood by Anna Burke

Synopsis: Robyn Hood didn’t set out to rob the rich, but in Nottingham, nothing ever goes according to plan....

After a fateful hunting accident sends her on the run from the law, Robyn finds herself deep in the heart of Sherwood Forest. 

All she really wants to do is provide for her family and stay out of trouble, but when the Sheriff of Nottingham levies the largest tax in the history of England, she’s forced to take matters into her own hands. 


Relying on the help of her band of merry women and the Sheriff’s intriguing—and off limits—daughter, Marian, Robyn must find a way to pull off the biggest heist Sherwood has ever seen.


With both heart and freedom at stake, just how much will she risk to ensure the safety of the ones she loves?

My Review: This gender swapped Robin Hood story was one that I was so excited for!! I mean who wouldn't want to read an LGBT retelling of one of my favorite stories?? But sadly this one just didn't work for me and I was bored out of my mind. 

Go Into This One Knowing: Boring

“In Nottingham, Anna Burke has created a Sherwood Forest both familiar to readers of the classic tale and deftly, vividly reimagined for a queer audience. Burke’s prose is lush and detailed, her storytelling as fast-paced and thrilling as a damn good heist. Steadfast, clever, and deadly with a bow, Robyn had me captivated from the first page, and her achingly slow-burn romance with Marian left me breathless. In turn heartbreaking and heart-pounding, this lesbian retelling of Robin Hood and Maid Marian is the fairy tale I’ve always been waiting for.” ―Nina Varela, author of Crier's War
