I really wanted to love this book but it just wasn’t the case. The premise sounded amazing- a bad-ass girl dressed up as a boy to be a part of Robin Hood’s gang, how awesome is that? But to me, everything in this book felt forced. Starting off with the way she talked. She was supposed to talk with ...
Robin Hood is one of those poor figures that keeps getting ripped into shreds in various forms of multi-media. Personally, I blame the fact he looks good in tights. Guys who looked good in tights are basically destined to have themselves torn up in remakes and spinoffs. Plus, he was considered to...
This about sums it up. A retelling of the story of Robin hood...but told from an unexpected point of view. I don't want to say too much because...well spoilers...but it is very pleasant surprise. I love stories with good and strong female characters, and strong female doesn't mean they have to be ...
I have so many opinions on this book. Some of them I just need to rant and get it out, and because of this there will be spoilers. For those of you who have not read this yet and want an honest, spoiler free review, check out my blog.So continuing now means spoilers. You have been warned. I tried to...
Scarlet by A.C. Gaughen is a retelling of the story of Robin Hood, where Will Scarlet is actually a girl in hiding :D. I haven’t read any Robin Hood retellings, so I was really excited to hear of this series, plus breaking gender-norms is the best! Scarlet did not disappoint. I so thoroughly enjoyed...
Like the description says, Scarlet is an imaginative take on the Robin Hood legend, telling things from the point-of-view of a young girl posing as a boy in their band of thieves. And like all thieves, Scarlet is fleeing her past, a past filled with secrets that should they come to light, could dest...
Ah, yes. Yet another fairy tale retelling of an old, OLD classic. Passed down from one generation to the next by word of mouth, no one really knows the original, but rather the "renditions" of previous stories. A whisper down the lane game, if you will. Robin Hood is the story of a fearless, as-hone...
I'm not a huge Robin Hood fan, though of course I know the basics. This book turns many of those basics on their heads, in a fresh and engaging way. However, I thought the writing was clunky and repetitious. I got to the point where every time Scarlet referred to Rob's "ocean eyes" or any of the myr...
