Scarlet by Marisa Meyer
(Format for this read: Audiobook)
I admit…I am now HOOKED LIKE A FISH ON A POLE on this YA series 🤣
Finished Book 2 of the Lunar chronicles yesterday.
(Here is what I thought about Book 1 “Cinder” https://brainglitterwithdani.com/cinder/ )
Here is a summary:
“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.”
Sci fi mixed with fairytales.
I wasn’t sure when I first started in on Cinder a couple weeks ago…but by the end I was liking it.
And now after this installment of the series…
I’m totally HERE FOR IT y’all.
Like ALLLL day.
I think I enjoy the character of Scarlet more than I do the character of Cinder…but the two combined is a fabulous fiction equation!
This book is a tad more dark than the first I think.
Loving the series so far though.
I have even put my beloved podcasts aside to soak into these stories 🤣 (which may not necessarily be a good thing…I still need to make sure I’m learning something on a daily basis!)
I look forward to seeing how other fairy tale characters are woven in and rewritten in the future books!
