I have mixed feelings about the story. At first glance, you believe this to be a fun retelling of a female Robin Hood. In the prologue, I knew this story was going to push some boundaries with the wording as it was different and a bit fun. It did get you into the mood of ruffian thugs and how she was a woman in a male dominated world. Robin is believed to be a modern woman and known as a princess in the very beginning. Her followers know she is the real princess yet everyone else is either too dumb, paid off or whatever the case is to not noticed or care, (unless they are on Prince John's side of course). Though she can easily stand out in a crowd because of her "unruly red fiery hair."Prince John's Chancellor believes Robin is just a dumb woman although she has supposed bested him in numerous steals and whatnot over the years. She's a bit of a tomboy, even though she wonders how it would be to have lived as her father's daughter as a real princess.
She very similar to Princess Merida though her name is Robin. However, she falls in love with the first male that comes into the story as she is "drunken by his smell" and makes out with him after he nearly chokes her and fondles her a bit when he realizes she's a girl. The guy is a jester/knight, and after their make out session he wants to rape her plus could care less about women, and he believes that "women are only good for cooking, sewing, and in the bed." The whole story was frustrating to read because they hated each other so much yet wanted to crawl into each other breaches. That is the first half of the story which makes everything feel long and drawn out. After they get "the deed done" the story moves a little faster.
I guess the author wanted you to "understand" where their love was coming from yet they did nothing but flirt, tease, and throw insults the whole story. Even at the end of the story, he tells her that she has to stay put and to listen to him because he is the MAN. Which I almost don't blame him because he practically saves her every time you turn the page and it always her fault somehow. There's one time (maybe you can even count another occasion as a half, but it was her fault, to begin with) that she saves his butt. In the end, the knight practically wins the on going argument that she can't take care of herself as she gets portrayed as a nitwit or damsel in distress with a with a fiery temper and "cunning" quick tongue, which gets her in more ways than one. If she is expected to be so cunning as Robin Hood is then why does she get trapped in a life-or-death situation every step she takes (or rather every time her mouth opens)? It gets you to wonder how she had survived ten years (give or take that she started thieving around ten years old) by herself. She has the Merry Men, but they aren't in the story much nor is the women that practically saved her life as a baby.

Royal Rebel edition by Dana Taylor Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Personally i loved the story line and plot in this book! And that is was not just a romance novel but packed with action also. And all though a bit predictable at points still enjoyable! I would just give a word of caution to the fact that I would have given this book 5 stars had it not been for the amount of sex! It was greatly described 3 times and implied at many others! I being only 15 and just wanting a innocent romance was caught off guard as it happened first 1/2 way through the book! I am a person though who had to finish reading a book once I start it so I kept going expecting that to only happen once, but no it occurred multiple times! I was so mad at this unneeded vulgarity to an otherwise pretty innocent story ( minus some breast fondling) . I could not stop reading though as I needed to finish it because it was an intriguing story. So I would so good book but inappropriate for people not older
I came close to giving up on this one several times.....but, I did finish it, which is the only reason it received 2 stars instead of 1. I thought it was going to be a robin hood retelling, with a strong female lead. It wasn't! She basically ran around getting into trouble because she was hotheaded, belligerent, stubborn and too stupid to EVER listen to any advice. And the love interest, was a controlling, chauvinistic, ass. On top of that, their "love story" was basically them making out, fighting or having sex......not worth it at all!!!!
I come from reading Dana Taylor's nonfiction book first, so it's interesting for me to read her fiction. That said, I find the reviews for this book almost as entertaining! Heh.
I love Joseph Delaney's books (Wardstone Chronicles) and he just totally makes stuff up, but it's all harmless creepy fun. So I guess I don't get the reviews here where suddenly everyone's a historical expert and chimes in with every single historical fallacy they think they found. The problem with that is, even historical experts get things wrong as well, so what we think of as the "truth" and as "history" may not have actually occurred the way we now think it did. Is this a romance novel or a research project?
As for the sex scenes, I hate to say this, but I thought they were pretty tame and typical of the genre.
I really liked Dana Taylor's retelling of the classic Robin Hood. It was interesting to have Robin be a female and juggle a different set of problems (everything the orginal Robin Hood had plus the issue of being a female leading men. gaining their respoect etc). I really enjoyed the interaction between Robin and the male lead Simon. The book was funny and romantic. I liked how the author made Robin independant but flawed. She often didn't think about what she was doing or the outcome when she jumped from what problem to the next. Simon was a great balance to clean up her messes, but at the same time he was arrogant and rude, which just made their interaction more interesting to read about.
I will disagree with the other reviews who say this book is not meant for teen readers. Yes there is a sex scene(s), but that is pretty typically for YA. I would place it as graphic as the sex scenes in the Graceling series. Would I let my 11 year old read this...probably not. But I think 14 and up is fine.
Overall a very cute book. The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars is because I personally didn't like how Richard changed his idea at the end of the book for no reason.
