  rating: 5 of 5 stars<br/>Will Scarlet has always been my favorite Robin Hood character for as long as I can remember knowing different versions of the historical tales. This book does not change that at all. This is Will Scarlet in more depth than any book or film has ever shown him. Everything you ever once thought of him or wanted to know is given in a wonderfully melodious tone by <a href="/search/search?q=+Steven+Lawhead&t=author"> Steven Lawhead</a> and your imagination can soar. I was thoroughly impressed by <a href="/search/search?q=+Hood&t=title"> Hood</a>, but so much more by <a href="/search/search?q=+Scarlet&t=title"> Scarlet</a> yet in different ways. I recommend this book to anyone who loves celtic, Britons, old english, Robin Hood, medieval, knights, and chivalry... as well as just good old adventure. There is nothing "tasteless" in this novel as you find in many books these days... meaning there is moral delimma with characters that are just out right evil. But you do not find the protagonists as lust filled murders. It is just plain good stories twisted together to keep you up hours into the night reading until there is no more. So sad that I have to wait until 2009 for the Trilogy end <a href="/search/search?q=+Tuck&t=title"> Tuck</a>... but I am fairly certain it will be worth it.
<br/>
<br/>Oh, and there are other Lawhead books that I've read that didn't "hook" me, but these King Raven Trilogy books are really to die for.
