Chapters: 33

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.
