It was beautiful and brutal and heartbreaking, and I was afraid of what Ms Gaughen would put these characters through before the end.
I basically cried my way through the entire book and had to stop reading a few times because it hurt so much and made me so uncomfortable (not in a bad way, which I know sounds weird.I gave the book 5 stars). Lady Thief was one of the most painful books I’ve ever read. I was eager to see how things would turn out (and worried, too, after the events of Lady Thief) and sad because I didn’t want to say goodbye to these characters I’d grown to love so much. I loved Scarlet and Lady Thief, and I was equal parts excited and sad to read Lion Heart.
There were familiar elements of the Robin Hood legend, but it was also twisted it in many ways, turning it on its head and making it something completely, wonderfully new and magical. So when I discovered Scarlet a few years ago and found out it was a completely new twist to the Robin Hood legend, I was intrigued.and as I read it, I fell in love with AC Gaughen’s tale of Robin, still a clever, swoonworthy figure, but also so much more, and I also fell in love with Scarlet, a strong, kick-ass, determined heroine we don’t see enough of in books. I’ve always loved the idea of this charming, heroic outlaw who outwitted the nefarious Sheriff of Nottingham and wannabe king, Prince John, and swept Maid Marian off her feet.
My love of all things Robin Hood began when I was a very little girl who fell in love with the Disney version of the classic legend.
