Co se týká této knihy, jsem s hodnocením poměrně navážkách. Autorka prostě umí psát, kniha se čte snadno, jazyk je přirozený a příjemný. Z mého hlediska je tu problémem příběh. Robin je sice klasika, ale ani to nic nemění na tom, že ani originál 2x nemiluji. A už to samo o sobě, je v mém případě začátek konce. Ani tato pozměněná verze mě tedy nijak neuchvátila, co hůř, chvílemi mi hlavní hrdinka přišla neskonale sebestředná a otravná. Hvězdu přidávám, za sice poněkud patetický, ale milý konec. Celkově ale, i tak hodnotím, jako slabší průměr.

I really wanted to like this book but I just could not. It was slow and hard to get into. Then just when I thought it was going to get good the ending completely ruined it.

Sherwood is an alternate take on the Robin Hood legend focused on Marianne after Robin Hood dies in the prologue of the story. I really enjoy Meagan Spooner's writing, and also Robin Hood stories, so I was excited to pick this up. I listened to the audiobook version checked out from my library, and the narrator does an okay job. But the book itself drags. It's at least 5 hours longer than it needs to be. There's a lot of repetition and unnecessary tangents and diversions that drag the main plot rather than boost it. Overall, it's always fun to dive into this world and the twists at the end were entertaining and an interesting take in this story.
