Review
Marissa Meyer has an uncanny ability to capture her readers' attention and keep them trained on her storytelling. I had so much fun reading Scarlet! It's an excellent sequel to Cinder!
What I Liked:
- fast-paced
- Scarlet is super feisty with a quick temper that I admire
- the gruff yet gentle (to Scarlet) Wolf
- the chemistry between Scarlet and Wolf <3
- fun twist to Little Red Riding Hood (the wolf is a super soldier from the moon!)
- the introduction of Thorne ;)
- Iko as a ship
- more details came to light about Cinder's past
- how the story/characters gradually tie into each other
- Levana is truly despicable
The Not So Much:
- Nothing!
I love how Cinder's story merged into Scarlet's. Or is it the other way around? No matter, I cannot wait to meet the rest of the gang!
