johanna_b 's review for:
The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne
by Jonathan Stroud
Thank you to Netgalley and Walker books for providing me with an ARC of this book!
Scarlett Browne is an outlaw. She is used to fending for herself and also used to being alone but then she meets a boy, Albert Browne. Against her better judgement Scarlett agrees to journey with Albert. Before long, they have new and dangerous enemies on their tail and Scarlett realizes that there may be more to Albert than it first seemed.
This is one of those books that ended leaving me satisfied. It was funny, full of action and surprisingly uplifting! I love books with solid friendships and Scarlett's and Albert's was a perfect fit right from the start. I loved how the two of them interacted with each other. The way Albert talked was so funny and it balanced really well with Scarlett's more snarky dialogue. I wasn't expecting Albert to have powers (even though after I'd finished the book I checked and on the back cover it does mention it) but I think it was a good addition to the story. I always like books that have a mind reading element because it really gets me thinking about what people would be seeing in my head if they were to have that kind of power.
One thing that I didn't like was how we never learn anything about Scarlett's past. We do hear a lot about Albert and, though the book doesn't tell us everything, I was able to get a pretty good idea. However, with Scarlett, we get nothing and to me it made her character shallower than I would have liked. That said, I think the author is planning on writing more books in this series so I am hoping we learn more about her in the future! Overall, this was a fun book that left me really glad I read it. Happy Reading :)
