It´s a bit better than the first book, and I really enjoyed the character dynamics. Still not the best in the series. But please continue on with it because it gets better.

This book was much faster paced than the previous one and had a lot more action. In short it is awesome. More of the mystery of Cinder gets unraveled and new interesting characters come into play. Excited for what happens next.

Not quite as exciting as its predecessor, but still holds up as a decent YA scifi, though the red riding hood connection is a little more forced than the other adaptations in the series.

This was a good book, probably better than the previous one in the series.
Even though I thought I would hate it, I actually ship Wolf and Scarlet so hard HAHAH.

 Rating ★★☆☆☆

“I lied to you about a lot of things....but I meant every apology.”

Little Red Riding Hood is one of my least favorite fairy tales. I was very excited to read Scarlet, after reading Cinder. I was really hyped about this. I guess having very high expectations backfired on this book.

“But you're the only one, Scarlet. You'll always be the only one.”

We follow Scarlet, who tries to find out why her grandmother went missing. In her quest, she meets a street fighter named Wolf, who helps her to find her grandma. We also follow Cinder, who tries to stay underground and figurate out what she is supposed to be.

“But I'm a wanted fugitive, like Cinder." Thorne continued. "They do realize I'm missing, don't they?"
"Maybe they're grateful," Cinder muttered.”

I did not expect such large participation of Cinder in the plot of this book. Although it was nice to spend time with her and company. I feel that Scarlet was relegated to a subplot within her book.

“Wolf, are you asking me to be ... your alpha female?"
He hesitated.

The characters felt flat and not well developed, especially Wolf. He is supposed to be the alpha male, and I thought he would be a more impulsive, smug, and dominant guy. Instead, the character is much more docile and submissive. I wish we could see more of his backstory and not just little pieces because It was hard for me to care about him.

“I really am sorry for shooting you."
"Are you?"
Her touch lingered as it reached the end of the bandage, checking that it was still securely tied. "What does that mean?"
"I suspect you would shoot me all over again if you thought it would help your grandmother."
She blinked up at him, almost surprised to discover how close they were standing. "I would," She said. "But that doesn't mean I wouldn't be sorry about it afterward.”

Regarding Scarlet, she is a very impulsive and strong mind. But kinda annoying. I guess I was expecting a more innocent and naive Scarlet.

I hope to see how things evolve in Cress.
