A Daring Sacrifice Jody Hedlund Books

This author has a fun spin on the tale of Robin Hood. I’m a Jodi Hedlund fan so I wanted to check out this YA novel. The story it told through both male and female leads alternating POV’s throughout the story.

It took me a little while to connect with the setting, the characters and their situation. I wondered if it was because I had not read book one in this series titled Uncertain Choice.

Juliana Wessex is orphaned and on the run at a young age. She fears her Uncle as he killed her father and tried to do the same to her so he could obtain their estate. This medieval maiden fears for her life and seeks refuge in the safety in the woods. She becomes the Cloaked Bandit. Similar to the Robin Hood tale she steals from the rich to feed the poor. She has compassion for those less fortunate. She bumps into a childhood neighbor while playing the role of the Cloak Bandit. He recognizes that it’s her and wants to help.

I enjoyed Juliana. She’s a smart, feisty yet tender hearted woman with a soft spot for family. She’s head strong and is quick on her feet. Her childhood friend Collin on the other hand is nice, funny but a little bit arrogant. I enjoyed the banter between the two. It made me smile and it lightened up the story. I enjoyed the well timed humorous moments too; along with the minor characters.

This is a historical romance written for the young romantic about ages 12-16. This would make a fun read and a fun book for book club.

A Daring Sacrifice Jody Hedlund Books Reviews

I liked the first book in this series okay, just enough to want to read this second book, but this was on my TBR for a long time after I read the first book. Since the third book is out and I'm at least somewhat interested in it, I wanted to read this second book to see if I liked it any better than the first one and see if I really wanted to commit to finishing the series or if I wouldn't bother. I did like it more than I remember liking the first one, it has a lot of action, though it can get surprisingly gory at times, there was a little bit of gore in the first book, but we're talking a big escalation from that here, I was really not expecting that, but I did like all the action scenes. I liked the characters, Colin was my favorite part, he was just so much fun and I loved him for it. Juliana was okay, though I would have maybe liked a little more depth to her and her situation, the motives behind her situation are mentioned here and there, but I got the feeling of them being a little bit too glossed over sometimes. Overall though I did like it more than the first one, it's still not exactly making my favorites list. I had thought that the first book might be good for younger readers, but I would not recommend this for anyone under 15, and I'm really not sure I would recommend this series just in general anymore. I might read the next one, but so far I'm not that impressed with this series.
Completely delightful! This spin on the Robin Hood fable brings us into the life of Juliana Wessex, a medieval maiden who moonlights as the Cloaked Bandit. Juliana is of the nobility but has been ousted by her cruel Uncle; fearing for her life she hides with others in the woods of her family's land. Much like Robin Hood she takes from the rich to feed the poor. Things take a turn when she runs into a wealthy and noble knight.

While there are aspects to the story that mimic the Robin Hood tale, Hedlund makes it her own and does a wonderful job of winnowing out truths, as well as a delightful tale. This story engaged me early on but really wowed me in the last half of the story. The romance was sweet and clean, and without giving too much away, a wonderful example of true love. There are a few kisses but nothing inappropriate for the age level. And while young adults will enjoy this story, I believe adults will be equally swept up into the tale.

This novel can be read as a stand alone, however, it does have characters from Hedlund's previous novel, An Uncertain Choice. My recommendation would be to read them in order, but as I said you do not have too! For those of you who did read the previous novel, you will be delighted to know that the noble night in this story is Collin or Lord Goodrich! Yay! Not only that but it looks like there is in the works a 3rd novel for Sir Bennet!

To wrap it all up, this one is definitely worth the read! It left me with some good truths to chew on, a grin on my face and a smile in my heart!
