Not that I didn't think it wouldn't be, but the depth that it had was so lovely to discover!I read it on my Kindle, so it seems long at times (I had to listen to for the end half because my eyes grew tired, but I didn't want to stop!), but it was all really well written and carried through. Each character was marvelously strong, and yet vulnerable at the same time. I loved Merry - she was an inspiring character; storng, yet weak, and her realization at the end was perfect. I won't give away anything though. :)I must say, though, I think my favourite character was Allen. Talk about a strong, spiritual leader kind of guy! He was so encouraging, and so faithful - and strong in his faith in the Lord. There was this one part towards the end that really touched me, amazed me, and brought me to tears through the demonstration of his faith, and the results! Wow! This author knows how to write. I was very impressed. :)Between Timothy and Allen for Merry, I actually rooted for Timothy, because those two I thought were more suited for each other. I sure hope though, that as this series progresses, Allen gets his own story!The only thing I wished could've happened, was that Merry's belief in God could've returned stronger and that have been the main focul point of the end. The end was still handled well, it was just a bit on the 'mushy' side. ;) Nothing bad at all - it was sweet. I just was hoping for a more conclusive ending for her relationship with God.But yes, this was a fantastic story, one I greatly enjoyed and would recommend! Very medieval-y which I loved!I received a complimentary ecopy of this book from the publishers through NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased review which I have given.
22 of 22 people found the following review helpful. Oh. My. Goodness. By Storyteller This book had me hooked from the first chapter. As I'm not a big fan of Robin Hood, I was a little skeptic at the beginning. But once I realized that this was more than your average legend, it quickly became one of my favorite books.I've never read historical fiction outside of English class, so this was pretty new to me. The writing was absolutely astounding. Really. The narrative and dialogue had a traditional Robin Hood feel to it, but it seemed so modern and was so well-written that I could enjoy it and not feel tripped up or confused.The story was one of those heart-wrenching, hilarious, gripping, action-packed stories that made you look forward to reading it every single moment of the day. I devoured this book and had dreams of Timothy Grey for the next week. It was so well-plotted, it left my critical writer brain awed in its perfection.In all honesty, this book deserves it's five stars. Three cheers for Dauntless! *Hip Hip Huzzah!*
17 of 17 people found the following review helpful. Dauntless love! By Marisa Deshaies Dina Sleiman’s Dauntless is a young adult novel with so much more than what can be held within those two words. Young adult, or YA as the genre is referred to in the publishing industry, revolves around characters who experience a coming of age. While the Dauntless characters certainly experience maturation over the course of the novel, this story is about so much more than the transition from childhood to adulthood. Sleiman has created a world of both magic and reality within the confines of medieval England that brings readers into the hearts of teenagers and the world of adults. With a gripping tangle of faith, friendships, romance, and survival, Dauntless should be on everyone’s to-be-read list regardless of the reader’s age.Hailed amongst some readers and reviewers as a female version of the story of Robin Hood, Dauntless stands on its own as a strong story that teaches readers about faith and love from the perspectives of teenagers fighting to survive during a time in which loyalty to the monarchy ensured your life. Merry, Timothy, and Allen—three of the main characters of Dauntless—form a dichotomy of beliefs and backgrounds that support the themes of the novel. Through Merry, Sleiman weaves such ideas as women’s roles, gender equality, and feminism; through Timothy, recognition within family; and Allen, leadership and perseverance to pursue one’s goals in life. Each of these characters experienced trials and tribulations in his or her life but found the courage to fight for their lives and dreams. All readers, but especially teenagers, will find Merry, Allen, and Timothy worthy examples of inspiration.As a Christian fiction YA novel, I found Dauntless to have strong threads of faith that bring the messages of Christianity to readers without becoming overbearing. Sleiman presents her messages in both overt and subtle manners, making Dauntless an excellent choice for readers familiar and unfamiliar with the faith. Christian readers will appreciate the overt themes of staying strong in your faith through trials and blessings and of questioning God’s will, while readers not as familiar with Christianity will draw upon the subtler themes of kindness and unexpected blessings. I am not one who necessarily looks for preaching in novels, but when reading a Christian book I do want a strong presence of Christian themes, morals, ideals, messages, and description—Dauntless has all of these, and I hope to find more novels such as this one in the future
