Book Review: Scarlet

"The fates of Cinder and Scarlet collide as a Lunar threat spreads across the Earth...

Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of the bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She's trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive.

Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn't know about her grandmother or the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother's whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana, who will do anything for the handsome Prince Kai to become her husband, her king, her prisoner."

5/5

I didn’t really care for Cinder, but after reading Scarlet I think I’ll give it another go. After all I didn’t like The Hunger Games either my first read. I was completely surprised by Scarlet, holy cow. I usually don’t hold much expectation for a sequel. There’s only about a handful of sequel’s I’ve really enjoyed to the point of being better than the first and Scarlet is definitely one of them. 

One of the newcomers to this series and heroine is Scarlet and she is not to be messed with. She is no one’s damsel in distress (though there was occasion she had to be saved). Scarlet is one badass woman. 

Then there’s Wolf (they’re more new characters but I’m just focus on these two). Ah, Wolf the deadly fighter but all shyness and marshmallows at the same time. He’s absolutely adorable and just *fans self*, well, when he’s not being ruthless. 

Another new character is Carswell Thorne, a flirtatious ‘caption’ and criminal.

So, anyways, Scarlet was fucking awesome. So definitely read it, even if you didn’t like Cinder that much Scarlet really amp’s it all up! So looking forward to Cress (anyone else think 

that’s a pretty name?).
