rating:
Scarlet was just as enjoyable as Hood was! I did have a harder time getting into it, because of the change in narrator, but after about the second or third chapter I was used to it. And now that I have finished reading it, I can't imagine it being written any other way, in any other voice. Will makes a compelling narrator.
I've never read any Lawhead before, but so far I love his writing. I haven't been this absorbed in a series since I was kid. It takes a special writer to use a well-known tale, make it his own, and not completely butcher it in the process. For those of you that don't know, or haven't figured it out, these books are a retelling of Robin Hood. I think I'll wait to write a more detailed summary/review for after I have read Tuck ... the release of which I am now waiting for with great anticipation!
