Scarlet’s true identity
has been revealed, but her future is uncertain. Her forced marriage to
Lord Gisbourne threatens Robin and Scarlet’s love, and as the royal
court descends upon Nottingham for the appointment of a new Sheriff, the
people of Nottingham hope that Prince John will appoint their beloved
Robin Hood. But Prince John has different plans for Nottingham that
revolve around a fateful secret from Scarlet’s past even she isn’t yet
aware of. Forced to participate at court alongside her ruthless husband,
Scarlet must bide her time and act the part of a noblewoman—a worthy
sacrifice if it means helping Robin’s cause and a chance at a future
with the man she loves. With a fresh line of intrigue and as much
passion as ever, the next chapter in Scarlet’s tale will have readers
talking once again.
I am floundering for this book to be released. I think I've raved enough but I'm still not satisfied. Scarlet is one of my favourite books of the year and all time favourite retellings. Therefore, it is a given that I'm shocked at the lack of people who have read it. I've talked more about it's amazingness in my Spotlight post. Overall, it's a phenomenal action, adventure, retelling of the beloved Robin Hood. I obviously loved it immensely and now I'm dying for the sequel. I have high expectations for this one although I'm not sure where Ms. Gaughen is going to take the story.
What Are You Waiting On?

It is! This one is actually the sequel to Scarlet, so if you haven't read it yet then I suggest you do :)

I completely agree! Scarlet was definitely my all-time favorite fairytale retelling. It was just so brilliant, and I remember being hooked to each word. I think this cover is just perfect for the sequel, and I love that title :D Great choice, Mari!
ReplyDeleteI agree, I adored basically everything about it. The cover is beautiful. I love the flower detail and the night window.

I have Scarlet in my TBR list but I haven't got to it yet, and I'm thinking I'll probably wait till this one comes out and binge read both!
ReplyDeleteBtw, I thought this one was a retelling of Robin Hood, not Red Riding Hood?
I wish I could be as patient as you, but no. When I find an interesting book I want to read it right away.
DeleteThanks for catching that, I can never get the Hood's right in my head :P

I found out later as well. I don't think the author was planning on a sequel at first but now that it's coming I'm happy it is.
