I've always enjoyed Robin Hood, so I knew I'd love this retelling. Rahma was a great character and embodied the key characteristics of Robin Hood while standing on her own. And I loved her band of misfits.

 The author clearly did a lot of research about the Third Crusade, shown in this book. This book is a retelling of Robin Hood, but it switches to have a Muslim female protagonist in the actual Holy Land. All of the characters have their own unique and weird personalities and they are all comic reliefs and comforts to each other. The religious and racial diversity within members of Rahma’s crew doesn’t stop them from being able to be friends with one another, even during this time period. Rahma’s and Zeena’s sister is shown to have its ups and downs, but clearly they love each other no matter what.
