What Scarlet is about:
Cinder returns in the second thrilling installment of the New York Times-bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She’s trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she’ll be the Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive. Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn’t know about her grandmother and the grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother’s whereabouts, she has no choice but to trust him, though he clearly has a few dark secrets of his own. As Scarlet and Wolf work to unravel one mystery, they find another when they cross paths with Cinder. Together, they must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen who will do anything to make Prince Kai her husband, her king, her prisoner.
Scarlet blew me away!! There is no Sophomore Slump going on with Marissa Meyers Lunar Chronicles series. The story advanced rapidly and I loved the pacing, excitement, and the way Meyers twisted Scarlet and Cinder's story lines together....fantastic! And let's talk about Wolf for a minute, can we??? By the end of this story I was crushing on Wolf like a school girl!! I can't wait for the next installment, which sadly isn't until 2014, but I won't hesitate to pre-order it and until then will be obsessively checking the calendar!Recommend? YES!!! I started this series on audio and will continue listening to it. I love the narrator's voice and once again she did a stellar job!!!

ReplyDeleteWOOT WOOT, can I possibly squeeze this in next week? Desperately want to knowing how much you loved it.
ReplyDeleteI want to find and read Scarlet, having loved Cinder and all its imaginative fantasy. Glad to know that it's that good too.
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh I need to check this out!! And you were right... COULD NOT finish Tobacco Road -- too all over the place for me... anyhoo ... just discovered Robyn Carrs last night... liking her so far!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure this series is for me but I bet my sister would love it!
ReplyDeleteI hear you about Wolf. Swoon!
ReplyDeleteI liked Cinder a lot so I'm excited to learn that Scarlet is just as good! I have it queued up on audio and should be listening in the next month or so.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the first book or this one, but I'm really curious about the series. It sure does sound good. And I live the cover.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of the TV show Once Upon a Time, and I have to say, it's gotten me interested again in all those old fairy tales. :-)
I need to read book 1!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm missing out by not reading this series!
ReplyDeleteSo glad this was a winner for you!
ReplyDeleteI still have to read Cinder!
ReplyDeleteI may never get to the series, but am glad to hear the second book is a winner, too! My sister is hooked big time.
ReplyDeleteOh man, now what do I do? I have the book on my stacks, but after reading your review I want to listen to it. Can get to it quicker in print, so I'll probably go that route.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read this series!
ReplyDeleteI need to get both this and Cinder - same on this fairy tale girl for not getting to them sooner!
ReplyDeleteLike you I listened to the first on audio and have this one waiting in line for my next audio listen :)
ReplyDeleteI bought this for my daughter as she loved Cinder. Glad to see you loved it. I'm sure she will, too.
