Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen
3.0

Probably 3.5

The Good- Will Scarlet having a secret identity retelling of Robin Hood and reworking the character’s relationships. I enjoy a good retelling, a changing of what we have “come to know” a story as.

A longing romance is fun. The writer does not pull punches with killing off characters. I mean the mains continue to survive but it seems gory to an extent.

The not so good - there is only so many times someone can get away before I can suspend my disbelief enough to be on board. The writing style could be more polished for me. Their were some elements I found to be unnecessarily repetitive, and some elements that were just too drawn out.

Bad- the accent. I get that it’s supposed to throw us off the scent of something else but, lord it was way too much. It was almost like a joke. Either way - bad.

Overall though I liked it - a lot and figure I’ll read the next book.
