The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne: Scarlett and Browne, Book 1 The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne: Scarlett and Browne, Book 1

Rich and strange (and kitted out with an eye-catching cover), but stronger in the set pieces than the internal logic. The Notorious Scarlett and Browne was quite a thrill ride this time out! We had violence, breathtaking feats, cliffhangers, and narrow escapes from hails of bullets. Not to mention lots of terrifying creatures, including humans who have transformed into hideous, cannibalistic monsters called the Tainted. Whew. Fazit: Auch das neue Abenteuer »Scarlett & Browne - Die Berüchtigten« von Jonathan Stroud ist wieder verschmitzt, gerissen und übertrumpft den ersten Band fast an gefährlichen Momenten. Zwischen Pistolenschüssen, listigen Banditen, pfiffigen Sprüchen und den Strapazen als gejagter Outlaw habe ich mich pudelwohl gefühlt und hatte einen Heidenspaß!Albert and Scarlett are a formidable pair. With his ability to read minds and her way with a weapon, no bank can keep them out and no jail can keep them in. Set in a broken, future England, where gunfights and monsters collide, this is the exciting first title in a phenomenal fantasy teen series by the bestselling children's novelist.

Scarlett started off as a guide to Albert and ended up becoming Albert's inspiration. Ahoy there me mateys! I received this young adult fantasy eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. So here be me honest musings . . .

Another likable villain in popular kids books is Artemis Fowl. What others can you think of? Artemis becomes less of a villain as his series continues. Do you think there's hope for Scarlett and Albert to change their outlaw ways, even if their options are more limited? This book is as beautiful as all of Stroud's previous books. This time we change the setting and from a nineteenth-century London full of magic, we move on to a post-apocalyptic England, made up of small fortified city-kingdoms, where the population lives according to restrictive laws to protect themselves from dangers (mutant and cannibal humans, gigantic bears and wolves and gangs of outlaw men) which live outside the walls, in the wastelands and contaminated country. Anyone who disobeys the law is hanged on the gallows and anyone who is perceived even in the slightest as "not normal" is ostracized by the community and left alone in the woods, easy prey for hungry beasts.

The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne by Jonathan Stroud

In this hostile England, the young and disillusioned Scarlett McCain, a lonely outlaw, will meet by chance Albert Brownie, a somewhat odd boy with his head in the clouds, who wants to leave the past behind him and reach the Free Islands that arise in the archipelago that has submerged old London.Beginning with the world-building: I really envy Stroud’s imagination. He has a gift for taking a premise (Genies! Ghosts that only kids can see! Dystopian Britain!) and truly following the implications for how society would evolve to deal with it. In this book, we are plunged into a dystopian Britain that has splintered into seven kingdoms, mostly with towns dotted among the wilderness – and it’s tough to say which is more savage, the society in the towns or the lawlessness outside them.

The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne, by Jonathan Stroud

Well, it's in the title. Scarlett robs banks and kills anyone who gets in her way. At the end of the story, she doesn't change her ways. She does, however, learn to trust Albert and care for people other than herself. She also has many opportunities to leave Albert behind and save herself, but chooses to protect him. Albert has special powers that can turn deadly when he's threatened. He's terrified of these powers at first and had been tortured into hating himself for having them. With the help of Scarlett, the self-hatred diminishes. Still, he's killed a lot of people.I have to say the plot didn't fully convince me and although I like what the 3rd book is going to be about, I was a tiny bit disappointed by one thing : I saw the possibility of Thomas being alive coming and I felt a bit meh. But I'm going to trust Stroud and see what he'll bring in the final book ! As they flee together across the wilds, fighting off monstrous beasts, and dodging their pursuers, Scarlett comes to realize that Albert Browne is hiding a terrible secret. And that hemay be the most dangerous threat of all. This book was wonderfully written and the world was real enough to get inside. I felt like I was really on an adventure with the characters, and it was delightful. Beh, è Stroud. Quindi si parte con aspettative elevate, desiderosi di ironia e sarcasmo, di ambientazioni affascinanti e di giovani protagonisti che ti catturino.
