Review of Lion Heart

Title: Lion Heart

 

Author: A.C. Gaughen

Series: Scarlet book 3

 

Chapters: 33

Pages: 346

Genre: teen retelling

Rating: 4 stars

Lion Heart is the third and final book in the Scarlet series.   In which everything Scarlet and Rob have been working towards come to a head.  Scarlet gets news from her father through her grandmother that will change both her life and Rob's as well.  This news will allow them to better help the people of Nottingham.

I enjoyed Lion Heart, it was my favorite of the series.  Things happened in this book that I was waiting to happen since book one. I have to say that I was happy with the ending. After the stress and cliff hangers of the first and second book. The only thing that kept me from giving this book five stars was the language and a few scenes.   This series was my first Robin Hood retelling and I hope to read more Robin Hood retelling.  I am also looking forward to more books by this author. 

Review of Lady Thief

Title: Lady Thief

Author: A.C. Gaughen

Series: Scarlet book 2

 

Chapters: 25

Pages: 308

Genre: teen retelling slight romance 

Rating: 4 stars

Lady Thief is the second book in the Scarlet series. In this second book one of the characters has to live with the conquences of a choice they made in order to save another character. Who may or not may be the love of their lives. This book picks up almost where the first book left off. All the same characters come back in the second book. As well as some new, such as Allan A Dale and Eleanor and the queen mother.  In this second book we see Scarlet in a different light and we get more of her back story of how she became Scarlet.  Overall it pretty good second book. I can't wait to read the third and final book of the trilogy. 

In which I do a quick review of teen books I've read

Title: The Academie

Author: Susanne Dunlap

Series:   no

Chapters: 50 plus epilogue

Pages: 356

Genre: Teen Historical fiction

Rating: 4 ½  

     Main characters Eliza Monroe daughter of James Monroe

     Hortense daughter of Josephine Bonaparte

     Caroline Bonaparte Napoleon’s sister

     The Academie is a cute teen historical fiction story that for main stream teen fiction it really is a clean read I don’t remember any profanity in the book.

Title: Scarlet

Author: A.C. Gaughen

Series:   no

Chapters: 16

Pages: 292

Genre: Teen fiction retold myths

Rating: 3 stars I gave this rating because of the use of profanity PG-13 for profanity and violence

Main characters: Will Scarlet (Scarlet), Robin Hood, John Little (Little John), and Much

     Growing up I always loved the story of Robin Hood and his band of merry man. I was excited to see a story with a new twist to the legend. Will Scarlet was the youngest member of Robin’s band, but what if Will wasn’t a boy but a young woman Scarlet who was running from her past. I enjoyed the story up until the author used a cuss word that I couldn’t over look. To me I think the story would be even better if it hadn’t had all the language in it.
