THIS BOOK WAS SO CUTE. first of all i love wolf and scarlet’s characters so much, especially wolf’s though. I also love how cinder and scarlet each have their own sort of storylines and then it mixes  toward the end.

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.

I loved this book. At first I was mad that it kept switching from Cinder’s perspective but I grew to love Scarlet’s story too. I hope to get more insight on Carswell in future books. It was a bit predictable like the first book in the series but that didn’t take away from its charm. Wish we would’ve gotten Iko a body finally. Excited for how the next book is gonna tie in another protagonist!

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. 🐺
