Über das Buch

Rip-roaringly romantic, fast-paced and funny - discover the brand new Sapphic historical fantasy adventure from the author of Cafe Nero Award shortlisted, YA Book Prize winner and Books Are My Bag Reader's Award winner, Gwen and Art Are Not in Love

'You aren't merry,' said Clem to her captor. 'And you aren't all men. So there's been some marketing confusion somewhere along the line.'

Mariel, a newly blooded captain of the Merry Men, is desperate to live up to the legacy of her grandfather, the legendary Robin Hood. Clem, a backwoods assistant healer known for her new-fangled cures, just wants to help people.

When Mariel's ramshackle band kidnap Clem as retribution for her guardian helping the Sheriff of Nottingham, all seems to be going (sort of) to plan . until Jack Hartley, Mariel's father and Commander of the Merry Men, is captured in a deadly ambush. Determined to prove herself, Mariel sets out to get him back - with her annoyingly cheerful kidnappee in tow.

But the wood is at war. Many believe the Merry Men are no longer on the right side of history. Watching Clem tend the party's wounds, Mariel begins to doubt the cause to which she has devoted her life. As the two of them grow closer, one thing is clear. They must prepare to fight for their lives - and for the lives of everybody in the greenwood.

🌳🌲 Sapphic Robin Hood Retelling 🌲🌳
Mir hat alles rundum super gefallen. Tolle, liebenswerte und lustige Charaktere. Eine süße, wenn auch manchmal frustrierende Lovestory à la Grumpy x Sunshine. Und noch dazu eine actionreiche Geschichte, die vor allem gegen Ende des Buches nochmal zugelegt hat und nicht von der Romanze verdrängt wird. Gleich zu Beginn des Buches steigt man unmittelbar in die Geschehnisse ein und möchte erfahren was da los ist. Clem die Hauptprotagonistin ist eine meiner Lieblingscharaktere. Aber auch das restliche Team, welches wir durch das Buch begleiten, ist jeder für sich echt liebenswert und interessant. Ich freue mich schon auf weitere Bücher von Lex Croucher auf meinem SuB 🙃 🐎🐎🐎🐎

This is my second Lex Croucher book, and I loved it even more than "Gwen & Art are not in Love". At the beginning I found it hard to tell who is who, but it didn't take long until I got to know the characters better and they really grew on me. Though there are quite a few sad, shocking and suspenseful moments, it definitely felt like a cozy and fun read for me. Plus, it's always refreshing to read a book in which queerness is just a normal part of life and nothing to be questioned or struggled with.

Gay forrest adventure at it’s best!
Full of queer rep, witty and sometimes dark humour, lovely characters that I grew really attached to, a lot of tension and all over page-turningly-good. Loved it. And the relationship of Robin Hood and Will Scarlet will forever be canon in my head for every version of „Robin Hood“ I consume from now on. 💚
