jcwlib 's review for:

The Traitor of Sherwood Forest by Amy S. Kaufman
3.75
adventurous mysterious sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This book was fun retelling of the Robin Hood story but told from a women’s point of view. The side characters brought this story to life and balanced out the main characters. 

The author tackles themes of leadership, loyalty, and betrayal throughout the book. I wish there were more clever heists and trickery and a little less on the tension between Jane and Robin. 

This book was a fun read and you will want to add it to your TBR if you like classic retellings. 

Thanks to @netgalley and @penguinrandomhouse for the advanced reader copy.
