Sherwood

By: Meagan Spooner

Narrated by: Fiona Hardingham

Fans of Danielle Paige, Marissa Meyer, and Alex Flinn will devour New York Times bestselling author Meagan Spooner’s next fierce fairy tale-inspired story, which Illuminae author Amie Kaufman calls “a kick-ass, gender-flipped feminist retelling.”

Robin of Locksley is dead.

Maid Marian doesn’t know how she’ll go on, but the people of Locksley town, persecuted by the Sheriff of Nottingham, need a protector. And the dreadful Guy of Gisborne, the Sheriff’s right hand, wishes to step into Robin’s shoes as Lord of Locksley and Marian’s fiancé.

Who is there to stop them?

Marian never meant to tread in Robin’s footsteps—never intended to stand as a beacon of hope to those awaiting his triumphant return. But with a sweep of his green cloak and the flash of her sword, Marian makes the choice to become her own hero: Robin Hood.

Would recommend at a ‘meh’ on a scale of 1-10.

It’s not bad exactly... a little slow, but full of intrigue - I seriously had no idea how it was going to end! A lot of unexpected decisions were made and it’s more sad than I would have guessed. Still, worth the credit I spent on it for sure!

A hard book for me to get into, though maybe, as has happened before, I’ll reread it at some other time and experience it in a wholly different way, loving every minute!

At least the narration was good! Part of the reason I finally succumbed to my curiosity and bought this book was because I like Fiona Hardingham.

Excellent

I loved it! Couldn’t stop listening. Great story and characters and narrator. Thank you! Wonderful!

Loved this!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The tale was familiar but telling was so enjoyable. Very good performances well. Five stars!!

Good Story, Awkward Vocals

Sherwood is one of those stories that takes the reader through a rollercoaster of emotions. Initially, I wanted to DNF because Robin and Marian are one of my OTP, but Spooner did a great job reimagining the story. In this audiobook, though, the vocals for Guisburn we're distracting because there was no emotional/vocal change to match the characterization.

Loved it!

A twist to Robin Hood & it was so so good! Fiona is amazing as well..
