Both a gripping historical epic and fascinating deconstruction of the Robin Hood legend, Nathan Makaryk’s Nottingham mixes history and myth into a complex study of power - one that twists and turns far beyond the traditional tale of Sherwood Forest’s iconic thief.
No king. No rules.
England, 1191. King Richard is half a world away, fighting for God and his own ambition. Back home, his country languishes, bankrupt and on the verge of anarchy. People with power are running unchecked. People without are growing angry. And in Nottingham, one of the largest shires in England, the sheriff seems intent on doing nothing about it.
As the leaves turn gold in the Sherwood Forest, the lives of six people - Arable, a servant girl with a secret; Robin and William, soldiers running from their pasts; Marion, a noblewoman working for change; Guy of Gisbourne, Nottingham’s beleaguered guard captain; and Elena Gamwell, a brash, ambitious thief - become intertwined.
And a strange story begins to spread....

So those are the aspects I think needed improvement. However, I also liked a number of components. First off, the characterization of Prince John was very amusing. The villains are not cardboard cut-outs at all; even Sir Guy of Gisbourne is a multi-dimensional creation. The relationship between Robin and the Sheriff is delightful, though it is occasionally clear as mud how they wound up on opposite sides. I liked that it was a complete story and need not be the launch of a series: it said what it wanted to say.
Overall, I recommend the audiobook (which I listened to) as it is well read by two narrators (male and female).

There were places of the story that are so convoluted I missed my page margins for making notes, but still a wonderful read.
Great Storytelling

I'm not especially fond of Robin Hood in general, but neither do I dislike it. I've consumed a lot of mainstream Robin Hood media, extending as far back as (spoilers for a 200 year old book?) Ivanhoe.
The two narrators are absolutely perfect and the voice acting really adds to the story. For example, the constant reminder of Richard's Frechness is an excellent point that is made clearly through the audiobook version.
I still wouldn't call myself a Robin Hood fan, but I am definitely a new Nathan Makaryk fan. Get this book and get ready for more from this debut author.

Loved it

I have read ton of books in this genre and this one is one of my favorites.
I loved the new take on old characters I grew up with and the new characters that added a twist to a familiar story with a GoT feel. Well worth the read. In the trend of the day... this would make for a good TV series.
I hope there's a sequel
