Review:
I really enjoyed Cinder, book one in the Lunar Chronicles (read my review here), so it was a great treat to get to read Scarlet early.
I felt like Cinder had a slow start, and Scarlet was the same for me. But once the story got going, I was hooked and could not put the book down.
Scarlet as a character had to grow on me. I confess that at first, I wasn't too invested in her story, mainly because all I really wanted to read about was Cinder and Prince Kai. I loved their s But once I got to know Scarlet, I really liked her and enjoyed her strength, tenacity, and honesty. I think it's so neat that Meyer has created two strong female leads, and I loved seeing their stores converge. I really enjoyed it when Cinder and Scarlet end up working together.
One of my favorite things about Cinder was the magic of the Lunar people. Meyer really built on that element in Scarlet, and the twist with the army was my favorite part of the book. It was a great surprise and added another layer of depth to the story.
I love the world Meyer has created in the Lunar Chronicles. I can't wait to read book three!

I swoon for Wolf, literally - he if just my kind of tragic bad boy who is actually good. Loved this one! I think book four is going to be Snow White.
ReplyDeleteI admit I didn't realize it was going to introduce a new lead either.

ReplyDeleteMeyer's plot gets more complex with each instalment in her story. I couldn't put it down and can't wait for the next one to come out!
