I didn't like this as much as Cinder but I still thoroughly enjoyed Scarlet. Wolf is such a sweetheart and I want to give him a long, long hug. My heart is breaking for Kai, he has so much to deal with and that ending!!!
So much happened in this book, it was hard to remember that only a few days passed - which is also why I'm not the biggest fan of Scarlet and Wolf. They've only known each other for a few days and their relationship seemed kind of insta-lovey. But they're still super cute.
Also; THORNE. I LOVE THORNE. He was my favorite character in this book and I am so looking forward to his interactions with Cress.

I really loved the character relationships in this book again. BUT! I didn't like the main character, Scarlet. She and I just don't have the same way to decide. I really enjoyed the perspective of Cinder(ofc again) and our new characters!

Short review, to just express my thoughts.
This book is a retelling of the Red Riding Hood story, and wow, what a retelling it was. It was highly enjoyable, with a kick-ass Red Riding Hood, a scary guy named Wolf who is also very yummy and way better than that Prince Kai.
This book had a whole load of action, a bit of romance and a lot of adventure. It was really enjoyable to read and I got through it pretty fast, even though it was at times a bit confusing with the amount of POVs.
I would really recommend it to everyone. :)

4.5 rounded up!
Really fun book. I'm amazed how Meyer was able to balance Cinder's, Scarlet's, AND Kai's narratives while keeping the pacing steady and exciting. In hindsight everyone's stories were pretty simple, but as I was going through them it felt like I had no idea what to expect. Wolf is great. Probably my only real qualms with the story are that it didn't have much to add to the worldbuilding like it did in Cinder - cyber-France just ain't as cool as cyber-China, sadly - and that Queen Levana didn't have really all that much to do in this installment. (If I'm really nitpicking I'd say the Wolf x Scarlet romance felt much too quick as well, but that's just me being iffy about falling in love with people you just met in general. They bounce off of each other well and have a decent foundation for their feelings.) Other than all that it was a really good time!
