But the thing is, most of the things that go wrong are expected if you're watching this kind of film. You know from the outset that the husband and son won't live merrily if they've committed this sort of crime so it's a total anti-climax. After watching King's other adapted film @Gerald's Game (2017), this felt like a let down.

David McK (3557 KP) rated The Rise of Robin Hood (Outlaw Chronicles, #0.5) in Books

Whereas the books proper are all presented as an ageing Alan-a -Dale remembering his time with Robin and were told in the first person, this is told in third person and is not 'book-ended' in such a manner. While there are a few other characters than the already-living-in-the-woods Robin and John, it also does not have such a wide range of characters as in the novels proper, and feels maybe a little bit rushed.
In short: an OK entry for anyone who hasn't read any of the novels proper, but I would still advise the reader to start with the first book rather than this novella.

Bjerner is devastated and seeks comfort from Ophidia, a warm friendship that blooms into love.
Miranda has done it again! Another fantastic novella. This is the 3rd in the fairytales of the myth series and is the darker version of beauty and the beast. This one is a lot gentler than the other 2 but it doesn't take anything away from the story. She is truly a talented author
I deffinatly recommend this story but make sure you read the other 2 aswell! 4/5

It also seemed to happen too quick. One minute they were meeting for the first time and two days later, after not seeing each other again in between, they're having sex like crazy people and during those days they fall in love with each other only for her to leave...?
I just didn't quite get where her reasoning was in that. I understood her wanting to get a little revenge but at the same time she never talked about her plan, so I didn't understand what she was doing until she told him.
I wont be reading the second novella in this series.
