I think Scarlet is a much more interesting and less bland character than Cinder, and her introduction to the story actually contributed to making Cinder and her story more exciting. And hell, I just had so much fun reading this. Seems kind of stupid to read the sequel to a book you disliked so much, right? But, somehow, over time, my curiosity got the better of me. But so many commenters told me to read Scarlet anyway.Īt first, I wasn't going to. It was a 1-star, ranty hate at all the wasted potential and - worst of all - tediousness. Honestly, I pretty much hated Cinder when I finally forced myself through it last year. I do not know that this is actually an amazing book, but dammit, it was entertaining. “She did not know that the wolf was a wicked sort of animal, and she was not afraid of him.”ģ 1/2 stars. The adventure continues in this fresh fairytale retelling that combines elements of Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. 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. 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. Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing.
