Scarlet by Marissa Meyer
3.0
*Deep sigh*
Today I learned not to set my expectations too high. Not that this was a bad continuation to Cinder and all but I think it was more me hyping this up too much. I should have known.
I should have known that Scarlet wouldn't fit my high character standards. From the moment she's introduced she's just bland and cookie-cutter, but I can deal with flat characters. My biggest problem with Scarlet as a character was how arrogant she was. She constantly throws herself and others into danger without thought, and frankly, her behavior and overall personality annoyed me.
I should have known that her relationship with Wolf would be completely forced and Edward and Bella-esque.
I should have known that all of the characters would act like idiots and not actually thinks that *gasp* Cinder was Selene. Seriously, despite it being so obvious and the clues being right in front of their faces.
I should have known that Kai would be extremely frustrating and You aren't helping my opinion of "all of the characters are idiots" yet.
I should have known that this book would frustrate me rather than live up to my expectations. Next time, I'll think negative thoughts and hope for the worst.
Also, one thing I'm confused about. Does everyone on Earth in this time period speak the same language? There seems to be no language barrier between anyone, regardless of where they live.
