Cinder was a million times better because I did not care about Scarlet one little bit. The entire series could go on without her and change next to nothing. So why dedicate an entire half of this book to this girl? Absolutely no idea.

5/5 ⭐️! This was even better than Cinder! This feels like a Torchwood episode and it’s everything!

Scarlet is my favorite book of the series, I think. The characters are really fun and the take on the "wolf" aspect of Little Red Riding Hood is fresh and fun, I think.

I wasn't as interested in Scarlet's story until the end. It was a bit slogging to get through those chapters for the bits of Cinder's life. I'd say it was worth getting through for those chapters, though. Rated 3 stars because the first half was a 2 and the end was a 4. Just keep reading! Looking forward to Cress!
