Shadows of Sherwood by Kekla Magoon
4.0
Very intriguing adventure. Ultimately the cliffhanger ending left me feeling slightly unsatisfied.
Robyn Loxsley scavenges for tech trash to build gadgets, but one night she returns home to find her Parliament member parents gone, with evidence of injury. From this point on, she’s on the run from the minions of the oppressive governor, Crown, living in Sherwood Forest and in the Sherwood district, seeing how poppers people try to survive and ultimately stealing to feed them.
Fast moving and fun, with several helpers: Laurel, a savvy street urchin, Scarlet (the tech nerd who knows what a modem is!), and Key, who lives in the treehouse where they take shelter. We will need to read more installments to get their backstories, I suspect.
Moon lore and clues (amulet, necklaces as keys) from her Black dad and white mom frustrate Robyn—what were they trying to tell her (she hadn’t been paying attention
