The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest is another great fairy tale
retelling by Melanie Dickerson. This one is a cross between Swan Lake(Swan Princess) and Robin Hood. And I loved it. As a child The Swan Princess and Robin
Hood were in my top ten movies. So
I love the fact that Melanie combined the two into one novel. Also the heroine is not a damsel in distress she
can hold her own. Odette worries about
the orphan children of her village. She
wants to do as much as she can to help them. She becomes the Robin Hood of her people. Jorgen
is the forester for the leader of their country. Who is charged with finding
the person who his killing deer in the forest.
Melanie's books keep
getting better. While The Merchant's Daughter will always be my favorite of hers because it's a
retelling of Beauty and Beast. The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest is tied with The Princess Spy for second. Odette is
a strong heroine in her own right but not so strong that she doesn't need a
hero. I loved Melanie's twist on the Robin Hood story.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher through netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions expressed are mine alone.
