Lady Thief

Hello Shiny Knives,

Just a note, and I can do this because no one reads these, but I'm pretty sick. So we'll see how sick Book Panda writes. Probably poorly.

Anyway, What's up? How's life? That's great. This book? This book I have in my lap, awesome but makes me want to scream. You know the type. You know.

Today I finished the second book in the Scarlet trilogy, Lady Thief. After  rescuing Robin from torture and marrying freaking Gisbourne, the band is hiding out in a monastery for the winter. Robin has those awful PTSD nightmares that end in Scarlet getting hurt more often than not. Scarlet is determined to help him through this until Gisbourne comes back talking about annulment, which is an old-timey word for divorce. Though Robin is completely opposed to this, seeing as Gisbourne is a giant bag of douche, Scarlet agrees. I mean, she wants to marry Robin. Robin is great. Scarlet then has to try and act like a proper court lady to appease Gisbourne. But this is Scarlet we're talking about. It ain't gonna be that easy.

So, what did I enjoy in this book? That Robin actually has the feelings throughout the book. In Lady Thief you can actually tell that he loves her, instead of his hot and cold spiel in the first book. I also like the overall story, though the ending ticked me off. WHY CAN'T THEY JUST BE HAPPY, DANG IT! I was afraid that A. C. was going to make me feel sympathy for Gisbourne, but all I felt was hatred and disgust. Prince John is also trash. I'm not sure if he's supposed to be trash since my Disney Robin Hood days are so far in the past, but I hate him. He's like that teenage boy that's throwing a tantrum because his Prius is blue instead of black.

I have more feelings about this book, but the sickness is telling me to go to sleep.
