Thank you to NetGalley, Amy S. Kaufman, and Penguin Books for providing this eARC in exchange for an honest review. The Traitor of Sherwood Forest is available now!

"You'll see, soon enough, that a silver-tongued man is nothing but shining paint on a low coin. He'll promise you your freedom, he'll promise to change the world for you, to shift the moon and stars. But the only way to be truly free is to be your own woman. Not his."

Okay, so I did actually finish The Traitor of Sherwood Forest on Tuesday! Glitchreads is back at it again, so I'm posting my review the day after it was officially published and put out into the world. Unfortunately, this didn't stick the landing, and I was sorely disappointed by this retelling.

Full review to come shortly!

⋆˙⟡ 𝒫𝓇𝑒-𝓇𝑒Ю𝒹: Finally on my last eARC I need to read and finish by Tuesday!🎊Will I be able to read a 416-page book by Tuesday? Stay tuned to find out. I haven’t read a historical fiction fantasy in a while, and this will be a first for me since this is a Robin Hood retelling! It also seems like I’m on a streak with debut authors lately with these eARCs, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to read from a debut author and review their first-ever book. I’m a sucker for fairy tale and mythology retellings, so let’s hope this delivers!🏹🌿🤞🏼🍀� ]]>
