Resumen del Editor

After a fateful hunting accident sends her on the run from the law, Robyn finds herself deep in the heart of Sherwood Forest. All she really wants to do is provide for her family and stay out of trouble, but when the damnable Sheriff of Nottingham levies the largest tax in the history of England, she's forced to take matters into her own hands. Relying on the help of her merry band of misfits and the sheriff’s intriguing - and off-limits - daughter, Marian, Robyn must find a way to pull off the biggest heist Sherwood has ever seen.

With both heart and freedom at stake, just how much is she willing to risk to ensure the safety of the ones she loves?

Nottingham is a delightful romp rife with boys bearing bows, transmen wielding quarterstaffs, noble ladies loving ladies, bawdy bisexual musicians, naughty nonbinary outlaws, and saucy sapphic nuns - in other words, Robyn Hood like you've never seen her before.

Pretty good

The narrator took me some time to get used to. Beginning was a little bit slow but overall I really enjoyed it!

Nice

I can't wait to see what other adventures these ladies and gentlemen can get up to. I really enjoyed this book and the spin on the classic was really refreshing.

The narration gets better, I promise

This is, and forever will be, my favorite rendition of Robyn Hood. I fell in love with Robyn (I'm crushing so bad!) and cannot get enough of this book. I'm listening to it a second time and bought a physical copy. Anna Burke did such an amazing job with this book! the narrator had a few issues in the beginning and her fake accent is horrible, but if you get past the first hour or so, it gets marginally better. she gives life to the characters once she settles into her acting. trust me, this is worth every minute it takes to get past the awkwardness.

THE NARRATION GETS SO MUCH BETTER!!

I promise!! Make it past Chapter 1, and the narrator brings the characters to life very very well... This story is really a great one... I'm so happy I stuck with it!! ☺️

Entertaining & Interesting

This was a fresh spin on an old tale that kept me delightfully waiting on the edge of my seat at each turn. I appreciated the inclusion of identities that aren’t often included in wlwfic, specifically transgender and bisexual in this story. Annette Romano can you gives a fantastic performance, distinctly narrating different accents and voices. I would 10/10 recommend this adventure.

Delightful retelling

I love Anna Burke’s retellings of classic fairytales. Her character’s always find their strength rather than constant damsel in distress. I was not a fan of the narration but able to get over it to listen. Romano was definitely trying to channel a bit of an Essex accent but It took a while to get into it since she’s clearly American.

Absorbing and Adventurous

I have heard this story in so many ways but I loved this version the best! The narrator has such distinctive voices for all the characters it's like you are in the middle of this adventure as it swirls around you! I'm certain I will listen again!

Luck Favors The Rich, little Bird.

This was a Great telling of a favored Fable. Loved the narration and truthfulness. Looking forward to seeing another fable by this Author. Off to my next Adventure.

Kudos!

This was so enjoyable! And a round of applause to the narrator for bringing life to these characters - I didn't like the sound at first, but wow did she turn my first impression around. Thanks for the H.E.A. Anna!

Loved this

I’ve always enjoyed Robin Hood stories, but this is now my favorite one. Not just because it’s sapphic, but it’s just a really well done retelling. Narrator’s “Robin” voice takes a bit of getting used to, but increased play speed helps compensate.
