4.5

This book was surprisingly moving and heartfelt, with less focus on the romance than on the relationships as a whole but also with a really cute grumpy-sunshine trope.

I didn’t realize how badly I needed

Robin Hood to say “Fuck Facists,” but I definitely did.

Thanks to Macmillan for the free copy of this book.

- Set in the same world as GWEN AND ART ARE NOT IN LOVE, NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART follows healer Clemence and Robin Hood’s granddaughter Mariel as they take that age old journey from enemies to lovers.
- I loved this little clique within the Merry Men, and Croucher is at their best when writing the banter between them.
- I did have a hard time believing that Mariel was quite so ignorant of the internal politics of the Merry Men, given that she was so smart otherwise.

Arguably not that well-plotted, but really fun and cute with lots of great characters so I didn’t care.
