Robin is 14 and worried about her grandmother, Nonna, who lives in the forest alone. Robin’s mother is in the Royal Guard and her brother runs a criminal empire, so Nonna is all she has close by. Knights
arrest her grandmother and Robin is determined to break her out of prison. To do this, she must travel to the capital but she has no papers, money, or family to go with her. Will Robin sit back and let her Nonna stay in prison or will she find courage and strength to save her grandmother?
This is a Little Red Riding Hood meets Robin Hood retelling with hints of Kiera Cass’ The Selection’s style of royalty and the futuristic world of Cinder by Marissa Meyer.
An entertaining take on a couple of old fairytales set in a land that merges the futuristic and the past. Robin, of the Hood finds herself up against Sheriff Nottingham. With only three chapters it is a quick read but packed full of adventure, twists, and friendship.
My only complaint? I want more! I would love for this to be a prequel novella and find a nice trilogy to round it out, or at least a duology. The potential is there.
A highly recommended 4-stars.
