![]() ![]() So maybe if you're a reader looking for a female Robin Hood story, you'll enjoy this. Not in the same way.It did keep my attention, even when I was rolling my eyes. ![]() My favorite scenes were the flashbacks told from Robin's POV of how he falls for Marion, but even those are shadowed by the realization that Marion didn't actually love him back. ![]() So the romance between Marion and Gisbourne was, quite frankly, the most unbelievable part of this book. D.E.A.D.What did Gisbourne do that was so awful? Why did Marion hate him so much from the start? The book doesn't tell us. I honestly thought Robin being dead was a mislead and that Robin would reappear, wounded, but eager to retake his position. This one was interesting to see Marion as Robin (though I will confess I found it hilarious that no one-NO ONE!-ever realized that it was a woman). I've read and enjoyed female Robin Hood stories before. ![]() Parts of this I enjoyed, and parts had me rolling my eyes. Who is this Guy of Gisbourne who is to take over the estate she has loved and cared for in her betrothed's absence? To save the brother of her maid, Marion takes on an alternate persona and a legend is born.I am caught between three stars and four stars and am going with the more generous rating to be nice. When Marion receives the news that Robin of Locksley, the man she had intended to marry, was killed, she is thrown into grief and despair. ![]()
