Welcome to Litsy!

A historical novel about Norman lady Marian Fitzwater who schemes to meet Saxon folk hero Robin Hood to enlist his help in escaping an unwanted marriage and recovering her rightful lands. Marian longs to escape the drudgery of needlework, of fieldwork and to actively govern.

An interesting read drawing on class differences and prejudices, but not enough adventure for me, and the romance was weak.

I liked this much better than the first one. It took a short bit at the start to get “into” it, but once I did, I really liked this one

Lousy book. Thought it would be really good but it flopped.

Robin Hood retellings! I remember loving this trilogy as a preteen when I was obsessed with myths and legends ❤

All he action happened elsewhere

Not everything I wanted it to be

You mean to tell me that the whole Maid Marian love interest sub plot in like every Robin Hood movie ever comes from the one (1) time she was mentioned in the prologue??? #robinhood #maidmarian #themerryadventures #howardpyle
