Robyn loses everything she knows and loves in one night. The leader of Nott City has ousted all his political opponents to take control, and Robyn's parents were on that list. Now, she is alone and at risk under this new government. As she makes allies and friends in Sherwood, a simmering rebellion surfaces and Robyn needs to figure out where her allegiance lies.
This was simply okay. Robyn is an infuriating character with little growth. Also, she is only 12 years old and that really feels unbelievable for the things she is doing. Suspend your disbelief and it is a good time. Kekla Magoon has a fantastic writing style, but the characters and plot just didn't do it for me overall.
