The Hood was very fast paced which frankly is something I always look for because I lose interest easily. I also like the idea of a female Robin Hood which is sort of what this story is about. Robyn, our main character, is actually from the trilogy that comes before. So you do see some familiar faces - including Robyn's love interest - Damian who I always liked from the previous books. The writing is easy to follow and the chemistry is there between the two characters BUT (and now for some critique), it wasn't there "enough". The segments we get of Robyn and Damien are very few! And it's disappointing because I kept hoping for their romance to grow beyond maybe the 4 or 5 conversations they have the entire book. So there is hardly any romance at all which if you've read The Beast (Book 4) it's very surprising and a tad confusing as to why the book went this direction.
I've rated the trilogy and book 4, five stars up until this point because it help my attention. This one, not so much and it was arguably the one I was the most hyped for. It let me down because I feel like this story didn't really need a connection to the trilogy. It really would be nice to see it deviate in the future books quite significantly from the trilogies storyline. Doing so I think would fix those issues I did have with this book including some of the POV changes. I would still recommend it, but I would say read her trilogy and book 4 first so you get a real grasp of how awesome this series truly is. I wouldn't recommend you start with this book as a standalone, but I would recommend you read it and I will certainly read the next installment.

I thoroughly enjoyed this unique Robin Hood retelling. Not only is Robyn Hood a woman, but she’s a down right badass. This story is full of action, adventure, loyalty, romance, and family. This tale is much more than the fairytale we all know of.
Robyn’s duty is to her people, and I loved her brave and sassy character. This fictional work is complex, unique, and absolutely captivating. The writing is imaginative, the characters were unique, the action-packed story was captivating, and I could not put this book down.
The Hood is the fifth book in the Twisted Kingdoms series and can be read as a standalone. I can’t wait to read more of the Twisted Kingdoms stories!
Rating: 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I think this would have been much better for me if I had realized it was the fifth in a series. I felt dropped into a world that had people I was supposed to know but didn’t. It didn’t feel like revisiting old friends, it felt like random ass people intruding into someone else’s story.

What a great addition to the fairy tale retellings
I loved this mash up of Robin Hood and Mulan! Robyn was a wonderfully strong character, without a selfish bone in her and then there's Damien, a dragon through and through. They were quite the match. This was a great story and as always I love the worlds Frost Kay builds.
