![]() ![]() Review: This book was good for me because it helped me to get over my Robin Hood biases. Who would we give it to? Definitely anyone who is fond of these stories is going to find something to enjoy here, and I actually think there might be a real audience in The Hunger Games crowd as a book about another fierce young woman who knows her way around her weapons. ![]() However, even our heroes are not exempt from this societal ills of the time, and I had a real problem with the way even some of our good characters like Robin and John talk to and treat women, without any kind of repercussion or understanding. And there’s some really excellent analysis of what it was like to be a woman in this time (not great). There is a ton of Slatebreaking in this novel, what with our tough protagonist who disguises herself as a boy and fights better than most of them. Sure, the girl looks appropriately androgynous and is a fair match for the description of Scarlet in the book (if a little more vacant in the eyes), but if I hadn’t already heard good things about it I would never have grabbed it off a library shelf.ĭoes it Break the Slate? Mostly yes. Currently Available.įace Value: I’m neutral on this cover, which doesn’t have any major flaws but is boring. ![]()
