About this listen

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.

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.

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!

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.

Good listen

Was engaged through out the whole book. The only way I could see it better is if more was done with the friendship and interest of the side characters. However I am not complaining.

Great story, and…

Super fun, a little spicy, and delightfully inclusive. Would recommend!

The reader is very talented. I’ve love many of her other performances. I don’t think it made sense to have an American do a British accent esp as the there would have been a cast difference between nobility, middle class (Sherif) and everyone else and a Brit reader would have given a more nuanced performance.

I really like the story. However, I wish that the part about the band of outlaws lead by Robyn Hood robbing from the usurping king and giving back to the poor and their impact on the peasants was a larger part of the story.
