The Hood by Frost Kay
4.0
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.
