A review by booksonthebrain20
Lady of the Forest by Jennifer Roberson
4.0
I first read this book years ago and instantly fell in love. There's something very compelling about a tortured Robin Hood and innocent Marian who is thrust into an unfamiliar and unsafe world quite abruptly. The tension between Robin and Marian and the entire build up to their relationship is so incredibly good.
However, the more times I read the book (and I've read it many, many times), the less patience I have for all the political intrigue surrounding Marian and Robin. Everyone in power is so bad and so corrupt and they never change. They never learn. And there's so much time devoted to them. I found this read through much more enjoyable but just skipping anything not to do with Robin and Marian.
