Robber Girl

Written by S.T. Gibson

Narrated by Abby Craden

In a Sweden wracked by war and haunted by folk stories so dark they can only be spoken of in whispers, Helvig has been raised by her brigand father to steal whatever treasure catches her eye. When her men ambush a strange girl on the road with hair pale as death and a crow perched on her shoulder, Helvig cannot resist bringing home a truly unique prize: a genuine witch.

Drawn irresistibly into the other woman's web, Helvig soon learns of Gerda's reason for walking the icy border roads alone: to find the Queen who lives at the top of the world and kill her. Anyone else would be smart enough not to believe a children's story, but Helvig is plagued by enchantments of her own, and struggles to guard the sins of her past while growing closer to the other woman.

As Christmastide gives way to the thin-veiled days when ghosts are at their most vengeful, the two women will find themselves on a journey to a final confrontation that will either redeem them or destroy them entirely.

Contains mature themes.

Reviews for Robber Girl

[Joy · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I read a different version of this story through Gerta’s point of view and Kai wasn’t her brother. But this version was perfect. Loved it so much!

Abbie Craden works her magic on S.T. Gibson’s tale of a robber girl, and young witch taking on a snow queen who has secreted stolen children below the ice. I enjoyed it.

[K Benn · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

WOW I really loved this. Though the book is short I gave it a try because the summary sounded interesting. There's really quite a lot packed into a relatively short novel and I was enjoying the establishment of the relationship between the two girls at the beginning, then once the action began to pick up I was HOOKED. Very exciting, and a wonderful performance by Abby Craden.

Unfortunately, I spent the majority of my time listening to this book while very sick with a stomach bug, and absolutely exhausted. So, there is definitely some things that I missed. I don’t know that my rating or feelings about it would have changed toooo much if that hadn’t been the case.

What I liked the most about this was the atmosphere. The winter setting, the feeling of it all felt very visceral and fairy tale like in a way that was great. The characters were good and the retelling of the snow queen had a lot of good elements to it. I enjoyed watching Helvig and Gerda fall for each other and overall I had a perfectly fine time.
