The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne

In dieser Welt leben die 17-jährige Scarlett McCain und der etwa 15-jährige Albert Browne, die beiden Titelhelden dieser neuen Reihe. Scarlett ist ein taffes Mädchen, die sich ihren Lebensunterhalt mit Bankraub und anderen kriminellen Aktivitäten verdient und dank ihrer Fähigkeiten als meisterhafte Schützin und Lebenskünstlerin von Stadt zu Stadt zieht. Nach einem gelungenen Banküberfall sind ihr die wütenden Gesetzeshüter von Cheltenham auf den Fersen, daher ist es mehr Zufall, als sie auf der Flucht über den hilflosen Albert stolpert, der sich in der lebensfeindlichen Natur nicht zurechtzufinden scheint. Fortan hat sie ihn am Hals und ahnt nicht, dass auch auf den scheinbar ahnungslosen Jungen ein Kopfgeld ausgesetzt ist. 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.

No llegan a ser 5 porque 1) es el tipo de historia que me gusta leer para entretenerme pero no me llega a marcar y 2) me hubiera gustado ver más del pasado de los personajes o de la construcción del mundo, porque parece más profunda de lo que es.

The Outlaws Scarlett and Browne by Jonathan Stroud - Waterstones

Overall, I absolutely loved every single second of this book. it had everything I love in a YA fantasy. This is my first Stroud novel and it will not be my last.So after playing with magic and horror, Mr Stroud decides to show us yet another version of Britain: this time, some unspecified cataclysm had occurred, causing the collapse of modern society and turning the nation into an analogue of the Wild West frontier replete with outlaws, bandits, and six-shooters (along with giant mutant animals and cannibal zombies for good measure). London, as we learned early on, is now a lagoon, and the country was split into seven kingdoms reminiscent of the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy in the 5th century.

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?
