Scarlet (edición 2012)

I have never read this kind of style of writing But Holy shit this book WERE awesome! I absolutely Adore Scarlet and More than adore Robin.He is so so so hot.Who knew that Robin hood could be so sexy? ( )

This was painful to read. The narrative was confusing. I couldn't care less about any of the characters. The protagonist, Scarlet, was whiny and believed herself a martyr, so annoying. The romance was mostly a distraction from the plot. ( )

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 myriad men in love with Scarlet mentioned her "magic eyes" I wanted to fling the book into a deep pile of duff in Sherwood Forest. I didn't like it that I figured out who Scarlet actually was from the get-go. I found the love triangle(s) clunky and Scarlet's reactions inconsistent internally. Thinking about it further, her actions throughout were almost random- I could never get a real feel for what she would do next.

The story had a lot of promise but I thought the execution was lacking.

I couldn't quite get into this book, mostly due to the dialect it was written in.
