Thanks for the review. It sounds like you really enjoyed the retelling of Robin Hood in the female role. I think it is great that you recommended it for any age and wish there was more of it to enjoy!

I'm not sure this suits my reading preferences right now, but I'm very pleased that the author explores gender equality in this way. Great review!

Love the female robin hood concept. It's like a retelling of the original story w/ a female protagonist. Yay for me!☺

This book actual seems like a classic remake worth reading to me. Nice to see how a change and gender impacts the book when in contrast to the original. Now I am genuinely thinking about downloading/buying this book. Thanks for the great review! :D

I like the feminine twist on an old classic, we can always use more strong female characters!

Thank you for the review! I read the sampler, but it didn't have enough information to determine what direction the story was headed. I love when a story is reinvented with a twist. For that fact alone, my interest is peaked enough to continue reading the story.

I do like the idea of this book and while it is fantasy it addresses a real life issue of gender inequality. Great review!

Thanks for the great review! You had me at"swashbuckling tales." Add adventure with a heroine that is enjoyable for all ages, not just YA, and I can't wait to read this book!

I wonder about gender inequality many times. For this reason, I would love reading this book. Awesome review!

Robyn Hood: Outlaw Princess by John Reynolds seems an amazing fantasy which could take one to the fantasy world of the book. Not only does this book engages the readers imagination, but it is also touching on some serious topics such as gender inequality, in a very interesting manner. The character of Robyn Howard is that of a strong teenager willing to fight for her rights. This book is really interesting and i would love to read the whole of it.
