TLDR; 5 rating, my favorite, Wolf <3
Content warnings at the bottom. :)

I remember reading this like 4 times in high school. It was my favorite of the series. I love Scarlet and Wolf, I love the French setting, and I hate tomatoes but this book made me want to like them.

Wolf and Thorne are my two favorite characters, and I love them for different reasons. Wolf is the epitome of “I can fix him” and gentle with the people he cares about while being absolutely terrifying to everyone else. This is for sure what molded my love life, at least when it came to men. Thorne is just…he’s a himbo, no thoughts only crime, and he cracks me up.

Iko as the Rampion was fantastic, even if it was a little fatphobic. She didn’t have to talk so bad about how big she was all the time, but Meyer did an excellent job describing how she emotes while an actual ship.

Anyway. Once again, Meyer has a hard time with setting, but with Scarlet and Wolf visiting very specific French places, it’s a little easier to picture, but I wish she would allow herself to be more descriptive with the settings.

Rating: 5
Would I recommend? Yes, especially if you enjoy moon people, quippy robots, and sci-fi fairytale retellings.

I liked this way more than the first one. The first one wasn’t bad and I still gave it 4 stars but I was just much more emotionally invested in the characters and the plot of this one.

Little Red Riding Hood flies a mean spaceship, and she’s on the tail of her missing grandmother with the help of a mysterious street fighter named Wolf in this series of sci-fi fairy tale retellings that continues the story started (once upon a time) in Cinder. These books are so fun, action-packed, and clever.

loved the back and forth plot lines between scarlet and cinder and how they connect together at the end. thorne was used as good comedic relief that i laughed a few times. scarlet was a bit of a pain at times getting herself in stupid situations but i’d be lying if i said i wasn’t rooting for her, as well as cinder who is a very lovable character w good morals and power. i think her and thorne work good together, and there’s more business to be dealt w kai and her as well. overall, i’m excited to read the next book.
