![]() ![]() Mission accomplished for Niamh Murphy, I can’t wait for book two! Robyn is a sweet, honorable and brave young woman, with a stubborn streak. The author’s job is not to surprise with plot twists (though there can also be some) but to make the tale at least as interesting and exciting as the original story, and hopefully more so. ![]() The thing with retellings is that the reader already knows the story. The plan goes perfectly well until everything goes terribly wrong. When the new Sheriff of Nottingham, spured on by his greedy wife, threatens to seize their manor if her mother doesn’t pay new and unfair taxes, Robyn sees no other way to earn enough money than to enter the Nottingham Fayre dressed as a boy to win the archery tournament, despite her best friend (and love interest) Marian’s misgivings. With her father gone with the King on Crusade, Robyn, as the eldest child, is in charge of her family, a responsibility she takes very seriously. It tells the story of how Robyn Fitzwarren became Robyn Hood. Outlaw is book one of a series full of promises. ![]()
