I also can't wait to get to Fairest because Levana is a raging bitch and I want to know why!īlog | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Youtube | Pinterest We are starting to get answers to bigger questions and I'm looking forward to seeing what else Meyer has up her sleeve. It still feels very much like a light, YA sci-fi and yet the fire in this book makes the pages fly by and the characters appeal to me. So strange how much more I liked this sequel. Unlike with Cinder and Kai (who I also had way more sympathy for in this book!), I enjoyed the arc of this relationship and found myself curious where it would lead.Īnd there's something about a sexy wolf that just does it for me. I love the girl power, the emphasis put on Scarlet's love for her grandmother, and even the romance. The big twist in this book is easy to guess, but it is surrounded by little mysteries and surprises that I never expected, keeping the pace at breakneck speed. 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.
