Cinder is back and trying to break out of prison―even though she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive if she does―in this second installment from Marissa Meyer。

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。

The adventure continues in this fresh fairytale retelling that combines elements of Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood。

So， I'm still enjoying the series as a whole。 It's an easy， fast-paced read and the creative liberties Meyer's taken with the fairytales are clever and， for the most part， work in her favor。 The story's still a bit predictable though， and while I liked some of the fresh faces Scarlet brought along （mainly Thorne， for his comic value）， the others were。。 not so great。 And don't even let me get started on the romance。 If we leave aside the fact that Wolf's， um， animalistic features， kind of make th So， I'm still enjoying the series as a whole。 It's an easy， fast-paced read and the creative liberties Meyer's taken with the fairytales are clever and， for the most part， work in her favor。 The story's still a bit predictable though， and while I liked some of the fresh faces Scarlet brought along （mainly Thorne， for his comic value）， the others were。。 not so great。 And don't even let me get started on the romance。 If we leave aside the fact that Wolf's， um， animalistic features， kind of make the whole thing feel like a kink， they'd known each other for all of a week when the term 'mate' was thrown around。 Is that a wolf thing too， or。。？ And I feel like there was a moment where Meyer could've turned it around， but instead， we got insta-forgiveness and a boring 'i knew you wouldn't hurt me' speech that did absolutely nothing to redeem Scarlet's poorly developed character， so talk about missed opportunities。 I still like whatever Kai and Cinder's got going on though （mutual forbidden pining and denial， that is） and Cinder's banter with Thorne was highly enjoyable， so I'm hoping for more of that in the next book， especially as Captain 'golden retriever energy'， 'not a thought in that head of his' Thorne steps up as the male lead。 。。。more

Nos cuenta la historia de Scarlet， una adolescente que desesperadamente busca a su abuela， quien desapareció semanas atrás sin explicación。 Todos piensan que esta loca o que se fue sola， pero Scarlet sabe que no es así。 Inesperadamente， llega Wolf， un peleador callejero que （por alguna razón） sabe donde podría estar la abuela de Scarlet， por lo que， a pesar de no conocerla， le ofrece su ayuda。 Ambos empiezan la búsqueda， mientras en el camino salen a la luz distintos hechos。 Por otro lado， Cinde Nos cuenta la historia de Scarlet， una adolescente que desesperadamente busca a su abuela， quien desapareció semanas atrás sin explicación。 Todos piensan que esta loca o que se fue sola， pero Scarlet sabe que no es así。 Inesperadamente， llega Wolf， un peleador callejero que （por alguna razón） sabe donde podría estar la abuela de Scarlet， por lo que， a pesar de no conocerla， le ofrece su ayuda。 Ambos empiezan la búsqueda， mientras en el camino salen a la luz distintos hechos。 Por otro lado， Cinder， protagonista del primer libro， emprende la huida de la cárcel de Nueva Beijing， siendo acompañada por Thorne， con el objetivo de encontrar a alguien que le explique más sobre ella misma。El libro en general me gustó， sin embargo， no más que el primero。 La historia de Scarlet a ratos se me hacía aburrida， además de que su historia de “amor” no me llamaba nada la atención， es cierto que algunos momentos me mantuvieron muy enganchada， pero en otros solo quería que dejase de hablar para poder leer los capítulos de Cinder。 Respecto a Cinder， la amé tal y como en el primero （quizás incluso más）， me parece una protagonista muy fuerte y valiente， y su relación de “amistad”-compañerismo（？ con Thorne me encantó。 Hablando de Thorne， creo que fue mi personaje favorito del libro， junto a Cinder， realmente disfruté leer las escenas en las que él aparecía。Creo que fue una buena continuación， así que muero de ganas de leer Cress y saber qué pasará después。 。。。more

*4。5-no offense to wolf， but if I saw this man in public， it is literally on sight。 no doubt abt it I will be jumping him。 cinder and kai must have so many injuries from carrying this series though

Claudia ，

Ok so I really did like this book but I just didn’t like it as much as the first one。 I just wasn’t as interested in Scarlet and Wolf’s story， especially Wolf because he just didn’t have much of a personality in my opinion。 I did love seeing Cinder in this though because she rocks and I also loved seeing Kai！

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 The book was absolutely amazing。 I loved the pairing of scarlet and wolf， although they had their ups and downs they are/will be a really cute couple。 The inclusion of the wolf pack and its hierarchy was really interesting and I still hate queen levana， but I don’t think that’s ever going to change。 Also I’m very sad that Kia is marrying levana， him and cinder need to get back together and marry each other。 Now I wish I could visit Paris in real life from how beautiful it sounded in the book。

I like Cinder， both the book and the character， much more than Scarlet。 The former is a subtly built up， genuine yet ambitious story， while this one is an action packed series of switching events。 （view spoiler）[I like Cinder as a person more: she's hardworking and realistic， while Scarlet is too impulsive， reckless， hot-tempered。 And when you think about her fiery personality， the rushed romance's not contrived at all。 But of course I like most about Kai and Cinder and how they're struggling to I like Cinder， both the book and the character， much more than Scarlet。 The former is a subtly built up， genuine yet ambitious story， while this one is an action packed series of switching events。 （view spoiler）[I like Cinder as a person more: she's hardworking and realistic， while Scarlet is too impulsive， reckless， hot-tempered。 And when you think about her fiery personality， the rushed romance's not contrived at all。 But of course I like most about Kai and Cinder and how they're struggling to make up their minds about each other！ （hide spoiler）]In this one， the pace is much faster， and the stakes are raised much higher。 I love how the scenes change focus on different characters， and it's really hard to put down the book！ （view spoiler）[The last part of the book ， and the way the author increases the death toll and violence， fight scenes is kind of shocking。 I've not really expected it to be so dark all of a sudden。 That's what knocks a star down from my rating。 But I can't stop now -- just have to know how it plays out （don't we all？） A spare thought: I wonder what torture loyal readers go through， the whole year waiting for the next book to come out！ SO glad I'm reading this series late enough to skip the waiting days！ （hide spoiler）] 。。。more

Oh gooooddddddddd its such a guilty pleasure

I didn't quite devour the second installment like the first。 I think that's mostly because I wasn't as interested in Scarlet and her story as I was in Cinder's （I was always very eager for the next Cinder and Thorne section）。That's not to say Scarlet isn't a good character。 She's is prone to piques of emotion， hot-headed， impulsive， and ultimately loyal to a near fault。 Her tentative partnership （and very sudden romance） with Wolf wasn't bad， just not really my cup of tea。 （Wolf， as a character， I didn't quite devour the second installment like the first。 I think that's mostly because I wasn't as interested in Scarlet and her story as I was in Cinder's （I was always very eager for the next Cinder and Thorne section）。That's not to say Scarlet isn't a good character。 She's is prone to piques of emotion， hot-headed， impulsive， and ultimately loyal to a near fault。 Her tentative partnership （and very sudden romance） with Wolf wasn't bad， just not really my cup of tea。 （Wolf， as a character， as pretty interesting。 All the references to him being more animal than human where a nice touch）。Highlights:The plot: reading the two separate stories continue until they ultimately intertwine was very satsifying。The basement scene: Cinder and Thorne uncovering that basement was pretty chilling， great atmosphereThe theater scene: when Scarlet tells her grandma what she'd discovered and how that scene mirrors the original Red Riding Hood tale made me feel all kinds of empathy for Scarlet and delight in how Meyers reformed the fairy tale。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Scarlet is a normal girl， living her own life with her own issues when a bad thing happens and shakes her life upside down。 The one person who has always looked out for her disappears and she doesn't even know where to start searching for her。 The police don't do anything， people think that her kidnapped grandmother was a crazy person and most of the crowd suspects that she died。 But Scarlet is ready to prove them wrong by risking her own life in the process。 This is where we see what kind of a Scarlet is a normal girl， living her own life with her own issues when a bad thing happens and shakes her life upside down。 The one person who has always looked out for her disappears and she doesn't even know where to start searching for her。 The police don't do anything， people think that her kidnapped grandmother was a crazy person and most of the crowd suspects that she died。 But Scarlet is ready to prove them wrong by risking her own life in the process。 This is where we see what kind of a person the main character is。 Brave， smart， and selfless， the traits that we don't get so often in YA main characters。 This is where we are introduced to the main love interest， Wolf。 He is a street fighter， strong， intimidating， and an actual cinnamon roll。 He decides to help Scarlet in the search for her grandmother and together， they go to Paris where they suspect that she was taken by his own gang。 Honestly， even though the attraction was a bit too rushed， their relationship was still one of the best in the YA genre。 There was no toxicity， bad treatment， possessiveness， gaslighting， and manipulation。 Only pure attraction and respect for each other， which sets a really good example for other writers and even real-life romance。 I genuinely love how the author revealed who Wolf was and with that expanded the world for a great amount of interest。 Also， my favorite part of this entire series is that we get a cast of new great characters in each book and that they become main characters with their own stories and their own struggles but still get together for the same cause。 The fact the main characters from the first book still have their POVs is an example of really creative writing。 This brings us to Cinder。 She escapes her prison and meets Thorne who is some sort of an outlaw。 Together they hide from everybody who wants to catch them and go through their own adventures and their own struggles。 In the end， Scarlet， Wolf， Cinder， and Thorne come together and escape their enemies once again。My overall thoughts for this book can summarize into one sentence: This is book is the reason why I truly fell in love with the series。 Don't get me wrong， Cinder is a very good foundation but the world is not explored that much and everything revolves around one character。 Scarlet， on the other hand， brings this series to an entire new level。 Don't forget that this is also a fairytale retelling。 One of the rare retelling done right。 Clearly， I give this book five stars。 。。。more

I’ve heard such good things about this series， and I’ve finally seen why people praise it so much。 Cinder was fantastic， and Scarlet was no exception because I loved this book as well。 I really enjoy how the retelling isn’t fully wrapped up in its own book， and characters from previous books continue to be followed in later books。 There’s a ton of other reviews on the goodreads platform that more thoroughly explain what this series is about， so I’m not going to do that in my review。 I do have no I’ve heard such good things about this series， and I’ve finally seen why people praise it so much。 Cinder was fantastic， and Scarlet was no exception because I loved this book as well。 I really enjoy how the retelling isn’t fully wrapped up in its own book， and characters from previous books continue to be followed in later books。 There’s a ton of other reviews on the goodreads platform that more thoroughly explain what this series is about， so I’m not going to do that in my review。 I do have nothing but praise for this series so far though！ 。。。more

4，5/5 ⭐️QUE BUEN LIBRO。 Llamativo y muy entretenido。 Thorne te acabo de conocer pero YA TE AMO。 Wolf， voy a decir que en un momento me caíste re mal， pero después entendí TODO。 Ahora te amo， y me entristece todo lo que tuvo que soportar。 Scarlet sos una REINA; valiente y directa。 Cinder… el quilombo que tiene que tiene y que va a tener que soportar， pobre。La verdad que me encantó， no puedo esperar a leer Cress。

Jennifer ，

I loved this book just like I loved Cinder。 I’m so glad the author picked up right where the story left off while also introducing some great new characters。 I also really like Scarlet and Wolf’s relationship， and I like how Cinder and Kai’s relationship is still there even though they’re separated - slow burn。

Don’t like the 2 main character at all。 The captain and wolf is okay ig。 The plot is getting more interesting which is good。
