Since free e-books, online and offline, are tricky to find (even if they are legally offered) I would start by looking for the free novel in your local library’s ebook collection. You can also put a hold on it and most libraries actually listen to their patrons’ suggestions. Another option to find free e-books is BookBub, but most of the time the free books are not well known. Still worth a look though.

Beware the generic ebook aggregator sites like PDF Drive or ManyBooks. Some of the free PDF e-books listed on these sites are possibly classics or even older indie titles which have been added without the authors’ permission (i.e. are out of copyright). It’s a case where it’s hard to tell whether it’s legal or not.
These would be a last resort after going through legal channels to get free eBooks from authors and supporting them on platforms where you get to watch ads or sign up for their newsletters. But if you do find a great eBook through these types of sites, try to track down the author’s official website or their Amazon author page. Even just leaving a positive review will help them earn money to continue writing more great eBooks for you to read for free, and by supporting them through official channels you’re helping to create a healthy ecosystem that will continue to produce great amounts of free content.

I have checked a few of my normal haunts for this and it seems Yonder have it locked down tight. The best way to read this as a legal download would be to sign up for their in-app model and purchase a daily pass to read it. All other claims to download the full novel as a cheaper option are scams. The story is very hot right now, with two possessive twin anti-heroes, so I’d recommend signing up for the app for a bargainous binge read.

Of course, there’s a lot of fun in comparing book to show. But unlike the very faithful first season of television, there are large and soon increasing deviations from the original text as the season goes on. To do this sort of comparison, you’d really need to read the whole, unedited text – something that a free sample would not be able to give you past the introductory setup.
The free sample is like the pilot episode of a show. If you like the pilot, you can then subscribe to the channel to watch the rest of the episodes. There is no way to stream an entire TV show for free on its official network (unless you have a subscription). Bookstores work in much the same way as TV networks – the free sample is your free trial, and then you go to the library or buy the book as a subscriber.

You're talking about these stories? These are the ones with the super sexy covers with the shirtless guy holding a woman in a ballgown. I've seen those ads everywhere! I just wonder where you guys read these stories though because I've only ever seen them as ads online. Is this a whole separate app? I might have to check it out just to see what all the hype is about.

That was a lot of characters for a bunch of essays. Royal Road dot com. That is the post.

I always thought this was just a comic book, never having known that there was a novel that this was based off of. The art is so fantastic that that must have been the focus of the novel, I thought. Learning that there is so much more behind this comic is exciting but also sort of scary. I feel as though I would have to read a ton of lore in order to get up to speed, and as it stands my reading list is already way too long. Perhaps I shall look up some detailed recaps of the novel instead.

I wouldn't trust any site that offers a full free copy of a book. These sites are typically infested with malware, offer terrible machine translations that ruin the story, and are missing huge chunks of text. It’s just not worth the risk to your computer.

This is a topic that makes me rather anxious, since on one hand I get that no one wants to pay for a story they haven’t read yet, and on the other hand, if we never pay writers for their work, at some point there will just be no more stories written. For ‘Magpie’ right now, it’s sort of on Scribble Hub and some sections of Webnovel (a webnovel app), and they have a sort of freemium model. So on Scribble Hub, for example, you can read a daily section for free, and then there’s an ad per chapter that unlocks it for you. It’s not entirely free reading, but it’s sort of a middle ground and it also ensures that all the chapters are up and you can read them in the correct order (half the battle with online novels, I find).

First, try your public library’s online catalog. Search for “Sherwood” in the titles and see if you can download it through Libby or Hoopla. I have found that many classics are available through these services for free with little effort. If you can’t find it through your library’s online catalog, I suggest searching WorldCat to see if any libraries in your area carry it. Most of the time I can get a book requested through interlibrary loan within a week or so.
For older works that may be in the public domain I use Project Gutenberg (which has a wonderful selection of classics that can be downloaded for free in e-book format) or HathiTrust (which has full text versions of many public domain works). Contemporary or serialized works can usually be found on Wattpad, Royal Road, or the author’s own website with free chapters or even full previews. Occasionally I get notified of publisher promotions or free e-books through BookBub. I avoid free e-book download sites as they are often sketchy and can cause legal and security problems. But borrowing the e-book through my library or reading it on the author’s website is usually satisfactory enough for me.
