Review

Wow, this was an amazing ending to the trilogy. I am truly struggling to write this review, because I know whatever I write will not do it justice.

The book starts out dark and gloomy, and I know it seems impossible but this book was more intense than the last. I was captivated the entire time I was reading this book. Despite her circumstances, Scarlet remains true to herself, and I believe that this book brings her to her full development as a fierce, strong, brave, young woman. Robin also grows and becomes a more formidable young man and leader. The adventure in this book is thrilling. The historical elements come into play a little more in this book than in the previous books, but again it supplemental information that supports and complements the story. Everything comes together and the ending makes sense. It was truly and epic tale and I think my favorite retelling.
