Scarlet by Marissa Meyer
3.0

I liked this less than Cinder, mainly because I am not, as a rule, a fan of ABO or ABO-adjacent stories.
Still, there was enough about Scarlet that surprised me that it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would. Once again, Meyer took a well-known tale and played with it in unexpected ways while retaining the heart.
Wolf and Scarlet as a couple didn't really catch my attention, but Wolf as a character subverted enough tropes to keep me forgiving despite the very questionable status of his morality.
And, of course, we got the next stage of Cinder's saga, the near-entirety of which worked pretty well for me. I enjoyed Thorne, I liked the direction they took Iko in and how Iko reacted to her new body, and I think it's great that the next installment
