Scarlet by Marissa Meyer
4.0
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).

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).
