"I really love Robin Hood, and I love Enola Holmes, so I was very excited for this series about Robin Hood's daughter by the author of Enola Holmes. And it's a pretty fun series. It's not as good as Enola Holmes, but I'm still eager to read the rest of the series. "

    " A super quick read with a plucky heroine (Ha. Plucky. But she is!). I was hoping for something a bit more like the Enola Holmes series, which I absolutely adore. I think the difference for me was in how I connected with the supporting cast of characters, and while I loved Ty, I didn't feel much for any of the humans other than Rowan. I'll probably give the rest of the series a try since it was such a speedy read, and I'd definitely recommend it to kids, it's just not my favorite from Springer. "

    " ehh it was an interesting read. not my fave, but not on the hated list either. writing was ok, storyline interesting, characters- somewhat predictable. on a scale of 1 - 10, i'd give it a 4. "

    " i liked this book. it is the first book. i liked it cuz it's about a girl my age who is trying to get through her trials and i could sort of relate some things between me and the book. i know that sounds pretty odd but it did. "

    " This story was very slow-moving and didn't have the charm and humor that the Enola Holmes series does. Even though it was just an OK audio, I finished it. But, if I was reading the book, I probably wouldn't have. "

    " This was a good book. I really like this author too. Robin Hood (ya that guy who 'stole from the rich to give to the poor) has a daughter, her name is Rowan. It's about her life after her mother (not maid marrian) died and their farm was burnted to the ground. "

    " This was a good book though it didn't really intrigue me enough to absolutely need to read the second one. I was interested in the take on the famous Robin Hood's daughter ... though not Miriam's. That was rather odd, but a good twist. "
