Travelers Along the Way: A Robin Hood Remix by Aminah Mae Safi
4.0
I read this book amid moving across the country via plane. I’m still living out of a suitcase under my bed as I write this review, because ikea has been sold out of dressers for the past month. So. I’m not in the right headspace to write a full review. Bear with me here.
This book was fun. It was very ridiculous and unbelievable, but it was fun and I enjoyed it. I liked the characters, I liked the setting, I liked the plot. It was vibey.
The one thing I didn’t like was Rahma mainly succeeded by luck, not by any cunning. She was no Kaz Brekker, carefully planning every aspect of a brilliant scheme and executing it to perfection. She was simply a reckless fool with exceptional luck, sprinting headfirst into her enemy’s camp and screaming loud enough to confuse them into not giving chase. She wasn’t the mastermind leader of a band of misfits, she just had friends who weren’t smart enough to think of their own plans.
All of that being said, I liked this book. If you want a fun, light adventure novel without much strategy, this is the one for you.
Thanks to NetGalley for the arc!
