Okay so I actually loved this one more than Cinder ðŸ¤. I’d actually forgotten something that happened during this book and I like actually got so mad about it. I love Scar and Wolf. I love them so much 🥹. I’m gonna keep this review short as well. I gave it 4.75/5 stars and I’m so excited to keep going!

whoops, accidentally read this in a day, ignoring two book club books and other library TBRs with more pressing due dates.
but dang, the Lunar Chronicles is fun and I can see why they got new covers because these original ones are giving me Twilight vibes (though that fits with early 2010s). Scarlet is a rougher heroine than Cinder (and I'm a bit curious about what happened to her mom). I definitely feel better informed coming in having read The Keeper and Glitches in [b:Stars Above|25689074|Stars Above (The Lunar Chronicles, #4.5)|Marissa Meyer|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1472473049l/25689074._SY75_.jpg|45517469] before hand, especially The Keeper as it really fills in a lot about Scarlet's Grandmere.
Throne is a fun new addition who reminds me of the pirate king in the Grishaverse except a bit more Zaphod Beeblebroxy in his silliness. Looking forward to his development.
Only minor thing that bothers me is the whole alpha/omega pack dynamic thing because that's largely a biological misconception buuuuuut like, why am I complaining about fiction in a fiction work (heck, a whole romantasy subgenre is based on the premise).

Wow. Well this was really different from what I read before. Now don't get me wrong for giving it 3 stars but it's just that the book didn't grip as other books did. The story is great and the character are even greater (aside from the romance just like Cinder). Other than this I would still recommend it.

The world building and character building just is not there. It’s so disappointing
HOWEVER - very interesting and minimal plot holes! I really really liked scarlet and wolf. The unrealistic parts were a bit cringe but I’ll be damned if I’m not looking at tomatoes a little differently now.
I barely care about Cinder’s entire story line now. Literally forgot about Kai. Found myself rushing through their chapters to get back to the goods.
Wow I hate the mom lol

Rating = PG
This series is enthralling. I am absolutely captivated. I read this book in one day!
I love the new characters, the adventure, the unravelling of Cinder's mysterious background, the pace, and the converging of our two storylines.
