Continuing with my reread of the Lunar Chronicles is Scarlet. I think Scarlet is a strong sequel to Cinder, but also not how I would think most sequels would go. It feels like a mixture of a sequel, as the plot progresses and we do follow Cinder and Kai at times, but also like a companion novel as we follow Scarlet and Wolf for majority of the time.

I love the characters introduced in this book. Scarlet, Wolf, and Thorne are all great, with their stories and interactions. On top of the characters we see a bit more into what the Queen Levana's Luna is like as well as other places on Earth. The book also does a fun job of pulling Cinder and Scarlet together and sets up well for the next book.

I'm very much enjoying the reread and recommend giving this series a go if it has been your radar, but haven't had a chance to pick it up.

Scarlet was a really good, action-packed sequel to Cinder. Did it remind me a little of the second instalment of the Twilight series? Yeah, kinda. But I have to admit I’m more #teamWolf than I’ve ever been #teamJacob (don’t get me wrong, I considered Twilight pretty good when I was a teen). I’m a sucker for fairytale references/retellings and it was a really interesting take on Red Riding Hood. Solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me. 🐺
