Scarlett had no
idea how much her life would change when she rescues Albert Browne from a
stagecoach wreck in the wild remains of what once was a civilized England.
Scarlett is on the run from town officials who want her captured for her many
robberies and she is also in the bad graces of a syndicate to which she owes a
lot of money. What she doesn’t realize is that affable, friendly Albert has a
dark history of his own – and many more dangerous, persistent enemies than
Scarlett.
While some may be
drawn to this as a pure adventure novel (as bloody as Dashner’s Eye of Minds
series), when I was about half way through I asked myself – why do I care? I
didn’t connect to Scarlett at all and while Albert has a goal, mostly they just
seem to be running, running, running from more and more danger. I was under enthused.
