No king. No rules. England, 1191. King Richard is away, fighting for God and his own ambition. Back home, his country languishes on the verge of anarchy. People with power are running unchecked. People without are growing angry. And in Nottingham, the sheriff seems intent on doing nothing about it. As the leaves turn gold in Sherwood Forest, the lives of six people— a servant girl with a secret, two soldiers running from their pasts, a noblewoman working for change, Nottingham’s beleaguered guard captain, and an ambitious thief—become intertwined. And a strange story begins to spread . . .
It’s the first Tuesday of the month! You know what that means: it’s time to cram more titles into your TBR! Woohoo. Best day is best. There are a lot of great things to check out today. And because I love you, I made you a big shiny list below, and you can hear about more amazing books on this week’s episode of the All the Books! Rebecca and I talked about Hollow Kingdom, The Right Swipe, The Vexations, and more.
(And like with each megalist, I’m putting a next to the books that I have had the chance to read and loved. It has been slow reading for me the last few months, so I haven’t read as many as I wished, but I did get to a few of today’s books. And there are soooo many more on this list that I can’t wait to read!)
