The Season of Lightning

by Kate Avery Ellison

[phyllish]

Kate Avery Ellison has again written a winner. The Season of Lightning takes place in the same world as A Gift of Poison, but I didn't feel like I needed to go back and re-read that one to remember who was what as this book was simply related, not a continuation.

The book description calls this a blend of Emma and Robin Hood, but it was probably a little more Scarlet Pimpernil or Zorro than Robin Hood being as they were more about rescuing the oppressed than helping the poor. I found the story to be intriguing and though I thought I had figured out the identify of the Hawk, I was mistaken and loved the way that turned out.
