Scarlet by Marissa Meyer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Continuing to build the world, upping the stakes, introducing new characters, Meyer sure knows how to write a sequel!
Scarlet Benoit’s Grandmother is missing and she’s the only one who seems to care.
As she begins to investigate the mysterious disappearance, she meets a stranger, Wolf, a street fighter, who may have some important information.
They are drawn to one another and a tenuous bond begins to form.
The more she digs, the more Scarlet discovers that there is quite a bit about her Grandma she didn’t know.
It turns out, Grandma was keeping a lot of secrets. Dangerous secrets that could sway the fate of the universe.
Cinder, our dynamic cyborg mechanic, is in prison, trying to escape. With her usual tenacity, she will stop at nothing to regain her freedom, gaining alliances along the way.
Cinder and Scarlet’s worlds come together as Meyer takes this story to the next level. I had so much fun reading this.
I wasn’t sure we would get to see Cinder in this one, so I was quite pleased with how Meyer weaved everything together.
I cannot wait to continue on with this series and hope to do so very soon!
