The Gallows in the Greenwood Tekijä: Phyllis Ann Karr
This was a very inventive re-envisioning of the Robin Hood legend that plausibly had the Sheriff of Nottingham as a woman. The main story revolves around the Sheriff's squire, who is captured by the outlaws. But I found the way Karr wove a lady sheriff into the back story fascinating. A very fun find for this Robin Hood fan.

It gets an extra star for being a bit unusual and so pleasant.
The cover art is completely wrong, though. This is a post-science future with no armored knights, no castles, no pennants or flags for nations or fiefdoms, no wars, and hardly any fistfights.
This is a mystery plot in a fantasy-like setting, something I don't think I've read before. Yes, there are guilty parties, but the ending is more like the Shaker song where "`tis the gift to come down where we ought to be".

I first read the sequel to this years and years ago, and it was a good quick read with really great worldbuilding. I saw this in a used bookshop the other day, so I picked it up to read the beginning of the story. It has the same lovely worldbuilding, but it was a good deal more violent than [b:Frostflower and Windborn]. And I just don't think I was really in the mood for this story right now.
Also, I completely love the dated cover featuring the warrior and sorceress. It's kind of the best part of the book.… (lisätietoja)
