Filling in gaps and letting us get to know Marian even better, Spooner once again weaves a tale full of adventure, intrigue and romance (major and minor) between her characters. Once again, we get to see not just Marian’s side of the story, but Robin’s as well. “ It’s easy to be a hero when you never look beyond your next battle.” All Marian had to do was welcome the bow to herself, let it become her heart and the arrow her voice, and then step out of the way.” “Who are you to say that being a lady, in itself, is not its own kind of war.” But with a sweep of his green cloak and the flash of her sword, Marian makes the choice to become her own hero: Robin Hood.Īnd here are a few of my favorite quotes: Marian never meant to tread in Robin’s footsteps-never intended to stand as a beacon of hope to those awaiting his triumphant return. And the dreadful Guy of Gisborne, the Sheriff’s right hand, wishes to step into Robin’s shoes as Lord of Locksley and Marian’s fiancé. Maid Marian doesn’t know how she’ll go on, but the people of Locksley town, persecuted by the Sheriff of Nottingham, need a protector. Well, she did NOT disappoint, you guys! She did it again with this rendition of Robin Hood – but from Maid Marian’s point of view. If you read my review of Hunted, you already know that I was eager to read more of this author. Spooner has a way of taking a classic story and weaving something new out of it – while keeping the spirit of the original tale in tact. But with a sweep of his green cloak and the flash of her sword, Marian makes the choice to become her own hero: Robin Hood.I also love a good fairy tale re-telling. Who is there to stop them?
