This mystery/thriller was so engrossing that I didn‘t want to do anything but read. Publication is expected March 8. Read my full review here: https://debbybrauer.org/#the-chase

After finally finishing this chunkster, I have mixed views about it. It‘s yet another retelling of Robin Hood that veers off the beaten path of the others...a mix of factual myth (is there such a thing?!) and pure fiction. While characters are recognizable, their actions and motivations are often totally not.

It was an entertaining, often humorous romp, but at almost 500 pages, I think it could have been tightened up a bit. ⬇️

robinb And while not necessarily a criticism, it is often hard to see a well-loved classic from a totally different perspective. There are multiple views of who‘s “good” and who‘s “bad”, as chapters are told from various characters‘ perspectives. In the author‘s note there is the mention that this story started out as a stage play in 2012. There is also mention of another book to follow, and yes, I would probably read that one as well. 4/5⭐️ ⬇️ 5y
robinb Thanks to #BookishFirst and #ForgeBooks for the ARC. 5y
BridgetteM I also have an ARC of this! I‘m planning to start it tomorrow and I‘m a bit daunted by the length of it. 5y
robinb @BridgetteM Since I‘m a slow reader anyway, it took me awhile to wade through. I enjoyed it, but it was definitely a different, twisty look at the legend. Happy Reading! 😊 I‘ll be interested to see what you think! 5y
