The forestwife by theresa tomlinson5/30/2023 I mean, really! she is being raised by the forestwife for Christ's sake! she's probably going to be the next blasted forestwife! and if someone is going to be healing sick and injured forest folk, you'd want them to be a little bit more sympathetic, wouldn't you? and wearing pants and being able to fight does not make a strong female lead. she's a whining, moaning, bitching brat! oh my god, I just wanted to slap the crap right out of her every time she opened her big mouth. >:Cįirst off, my main beef here is our main character Magda, the daughter of little john. it just doesn't work if your character is so unlikable that it makes me take three or four days to read a 144 page book. it barely gets any points for doing a "second generation" of merry men/women. not sorry enough to not write it.) but having a feminist edge to the story can't make up for a crappy main character. in this Robin Hood trilogy, the gals know how to get shit done.īut I am sorry (well. now as I said in book one's review, I love the idea of all the women making their own way in the world and not just sitting off in a corner somewhere waiting to be rescued. :) sadly, this was a HUGE step down from the first book. this story "Child of May" is the sequel to "The Forestwife", a retelling of my most favorite story of all time, Robin Hood.
