Format:Taschenbuch
Nachdem in Band 1 Bruder Tuck, Little John, Marian und Sir Guy von Gysbyrne eingeführt wurden, wird des Autors Interpretation der Legende um Rhi Bran y Hud um zwei weitere bekannte Charaktere erweitert: Der Sheriff (allerdings nicht von Nottingham) und der Titelheld Will Scarlet betreten die Bühne. Will wurde erwischt, sitzt im Gefängnis und muss die Zeit bis zum Strick damit verbringen, dem Mönch Odo seine Geschichte zu diktieren, da sich die Franzosen davon Einblick in die Machenschaften von Rhi Bran erhoffen. Und so erfährt der Leser aus Williams Perspektive und in dessen Worten (!) wie ebendieser, Tochter eines Engländers und einer Waliserin, aus dem Norden Englands seinen Weg in Rhi Brans Gefolgschaft und von dort ins Gefängnis fand. Und dieser Weg ist turbulent und abwechslungsreich, denn den Walisern fallen bei einem erfolgreichen Überfall drei Artefakte in die Hände, auf die sie sich zunächst keinerlei Reim machen können, die aber höchste politische Brisanz haben.
Wills Erzählungen wechseln sich ab mit in dritter Person verfassten Kapiteln, die die Geschichte außerhalb des Gefängnisses vorantreiben. Nach ca. 300 Seiten sind die Handlungsstränge synchron und am Ende treffen sich die verhassten Besatzer, die Waldbewohner um Bran sowie König William in Winchester.
Will Scarlets Sprache ist deutlich salopper als Lawheads Erzählsprache im ersten Buch, und daran muss man sich gewöhnen, was allerdings nicht schwer fällt, zumal sie sympathisch ist und die Handlung während des ganzen Buches ständig zum Weiterlesen ermuntert.
Leider enthält das Buch einen für mich nicht verständlichen Plausibilitätsfehler (Anm.: Diskussion mit anderen Lesern erwünscht!), der so schwerwiegend ist, dass ich einen Punkt Abzug gebe, obwohl der Unterhaltungswert - nicht nur am Vorgängerwerk gemessen - deutlich höher gelegen wäre.

4 1/2 Stars...Leaves Us Hanging
20. September 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
If you're a Stephen Lawhead fan, you need to catch his spin on the classic Robin Hood tale. Obviously, he gives it his own historic ambiance, exploring old and new ideas with respect, but without rigidity. If you're not a Lawhead fan...Time to join the bandwagon! Since the Pendragon Cycle and the Song of Albion series, he has consistently given us entertaining and intelligent stories. "Hood" and "Scarlet" only add to his impressive resume.
While last year's "Hood" followed the origins of Lawhead's Welsh Rhi Bran Hud, "Scarlet" takes us into the life of Will Scarlet. From the first page, Lawhead establishes a wonderful character with a literary voice that's consistent, lyrical, and captivating. Will is in prison, awaiting his own hanging. In the meantime, he dictates his story of meeting and pledging fealty to Bran, King Raven. We see wonderful glimpses into medieval life. We become entwined in the political/religious intrigues of the day, and we meet new heroes and villains. From Will's initial archery contest with Bran, to his gallows day, Lawhead wields his pen with attention to detail, character, and plot.
"Scarlet" meanders into a fascinating tale, gives us some romance and action, then ends with a cliffhanger, a perfect bridge into the final book, titled "Tuck." Lawhead is having fun with this trilogy and, to the delight of his readers, it shows.

Easily Lawhead's most mature work
11. November 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
I won't tell about the story line because that wouldn't be fair to the reader. I won't ruin it for you. But about the book itself, its style and flow. This book is so much better than *Hood.* The storyline is crisper, its characters so much more mature, and the dialouge is cleare.
The romance is among Lawhead's better renditions. I do fear that some of Lawhead's works tended to repeat themselves (this was especially true in the Pendragon Cycle). Here, the romance is more sensible and realistic. I particularly enjoyed the interplay between Will and Noin. Also, the back and forth between Merian and Bran is better done than in Hood.
I definitely recommend this work as one of Lawhead's more mature writings. Also, be sure to find the soundtrack that goes with it. There is an official King Raven Trilogy soundtrack. Go to Itunes and type in Brian Dunning and Jeff Johnson.

Anxiously Awaiting TUCK
8. Oktober 2007
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
It's too bad that TUCK has been delayed but at least it isn't altogether canceled. I hope Lawhead makes a full recovery or as full a recovery as nature will allow.
When I read HOOD I have to admit that I began it fully expecting to take in the story with a grain of salt. I was pleasantly surprised that Lawhead could re-imagine the story of Robin Hood and convey his image in a manner that captured me in the first chapter. SCARLET is a sequel that does not disappoint. The character development was flawless and I could feel myself emphathizing with Will "Scarlet" Scatlocke and at least relating with the Sheriff (but not quite empathizing).
The thing I found greatest about this book was that while it's still a story about Robin Hood, it is mostly related as narrative by Will Scatlocke and Will plays as the central character.
Both HOOD and SCARLET are great novels for those interested in a more grown-up version of the story of Robin Hood as well as those that enjoy historical fiction (although I cannot vouch for how historically accurate/inaccurate the books are). They are reminiscent of Mary Stewart's MERLIN TRILOGY in that both sets of books relate fantastic tales of seemingly far-fetched accounts that may or may not have occurred in a manner that, at the least, makes the stories plausible.
These KING RAVEN novels are the first novels I've read by Stephen R. Lawhead so I'm not giving my review based from the standpoint of someone who loves all things Lawhead. Having said, if TUCK is as great as the first two novels in this series, I may become a Lawhead fan after all.
