Book 2 of the Lunar Chronicles reimagines the classic fairytale Little Red Riding Hood. We are introduced to a new character, Scarlet - a confident young woman with a very different personality to Cinder. The plot centers around her grandmother who is missing, and a mysterious stranger named Wolf who sets out to help her bring her grandmother home. Woven throughout, we also see Cinder and Kai's point of views as they struggle with the aftermath of Book 1. Cinder seeks answers about her past, while Kai deals with the impending threat of war with the Lunar colony. We are also introduced to a new character, Thorne - a suave deserter of the American military who happens to captain a space ship.
Overall, this book definitely felt like a stepping stone in the series. It definitely felt like it was introducing characters to set up the next parts of the series and plot, rather than being interesting itself. It can't be read stand alone, but it's fine for continuing the series.

This book focuses more on how Cinder became a cyborg (medical content). The plot for the new character (Scarlet) focuses on the kidnapping of her grandmother. War threatens to break out between the Lunar colony and Earth, so there is violence and death present in this book.theartsybookwitch's review against another edition

This book is better than I remembered as a kid. I forgot almost the whole ending. I love that pieces and characters are falling together. I can’t wait to read the next book.
