I opened this book, and after reading the dialect, I thought, "Huh...I'm not sure I'll be able to read this..." Then, three pages later, I was so sucked into the story, I stopped noticing the dialect. All I saw was Scarlet's VOICE--and let me tell you, she has one. A powerful, compelling, stubborn-as-hell voice that fits every impulsive, disgruntled course of action she chooses.

To be honest, impulsive MCs are pretty common (erm...my own...::coughcough::), but Scarlet is easily the most convincing impulsive MC I've ever seen. She's short-tempered, but only because she's got some pretty big demons haunting her past. She's emotional and deeply moved to help those in need, and best of all, she's 100% kickbutt. SHE THROWS KNIVES! O_O

Honestly, though, the highlight of the story for me was the romance. I was just so, so, sooooo torn between John Little and Robin. I won't tell you which boy she chooses, but I will say that I was utterly, utterly satisfied with her choice. And every scene she spends with that boy had my heart pounding and my lips grinning.

So, if you're in the mood for Robin-Hood-adventure, swoon-worthy romance, or a tough-as-nails heroine, then be sure to pick up A.C. Gaughen's SCARLET.
