Ah, Scarlet. A great twist on the Robin Hood legend. You know them well, I’m sure. Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, Little John, Will Scarlet, Maid Marian. In truth, I’ve never read a Robin Hood story; I’ve only seen the movies: Disney, Costner, Men in Tights, etc. So I don’t think I really got to know the characters in depth. Ms. Gaughen introduced me to her characters, and I call them hers, because that is what she made them. She let me get to know them in depth. Rob, once a Lord, all cruelly and diabolically taken from him while he fought in the crusades, now fights for his people who starve under the rule of Prince John. John Little, big brother and the muscle of the band, acts the womanizer, but has eyes for only one. He’s always there at the right place, at the right time to help out in times of trouble. Kind, sweet, one-handed Much. Though he’s at a disadvantage, he doesn’t let it stop him from fighting the good fight and helping those in need. And Will, I mean, Scarlet. Small but tough, doesn’t take crap from anyone, sometimes to a fault. She’s and emotional wreck, vacillating between anger, frustration, resentment, and ardor. These characters are brave, strong willed and have become a family who would die for their neighbors and each other. Obviously the story revolves around Scarlet, a raw and deeply scarred thief with a penchant for knives, and a past she keeps to herself. Robin’s band of course, steals from the rich and gives to the poor, who have been decimated and broken by the taxes implemented by Prince John and the cruelty shown them by the Sheriff of Nottinghamshire. The Sheriff, tired of Robin and his band of thieves, hires a thief taker to rid of them once and for all. Unfortunately for Scarlet, this thief taker causes her past to catch up with her, and she must finally confide in her band to save their lives and the whole of Nottinghamshire. Aside from drawing the characters so well, Ms. Gaughen has also created a vivid landscape for us in Sherwood Forest and Nottinghamshire. The trees, the cottages, Friar Tuck’s place, the cave, are all described in such a way that I became immersed in the story, almost like I was alongside the characters, part of the band, looting, sitting by the fire, and swinging through the trees. A.C. must have done some serious research into the Robin Hood stories, the culture of the time, and the dialects. I love Scarlet’s voice. It’s original and authentic. I felt such a range of emotions reading this book. I wanted to cry when Scarlet spoke of her past, when the Sheriffs men shattered the lives of the townspeople. I wanted to laugh when John acted the bafoon. I cheered during the battles and fights, and I actually wanted to punch things a few times. This book truly has it all, comedy, adventure, and romance. If you’re a fan of any of that, if you love the Robin Hood legend, or love a story with a strong heroine, you should pick up this book. Now. Go.
