In the second installment of The Lunar Chronicles, the newest main character, Scarlet, is introduced along with her perplexingly complicated co-star, Wolf as the book follows their Red Riding Hood inspired tale. Scarlet is found in a state of desperation when her only family member, her beloved grand-mère, has gone missing and she will do anything to find her; that includes enlisting the help of the mysterious street fighter Wolf. Halfway around the world, the book continues the tale of Cinder as she breaks out of prison to escape the wrath of Queen Levana. As the pieces fall together for Scarlet in her search for her grandmother, a whole new mystery arises when Scarlet and Cinder encounter one another and realize they have more in common than meets the eye. Will Scarlet be reunited with the grandma she thought she knew? Will Emperor Kai be forced to marry Queen Levana? Find the answers to these questions and plenty more in this thrilling fairy tale.

Who might be interested in this book? Why?
If you took my advice and read Cinder, you are sure to fall in love with this stunning sequel. Science fiction geeks like me will enjoy the futuristic feel of the technology surrounding the characters as well as the various trips into space. The feisty spirit of Scarlet paired with the irresistible timidity of Wolf makes for an unpredictable explosion of emotions and actions that are sure to capture the hearts of those in touch with their emotional sides.

Overall Satisfaction
I didn't think it was possible but I loved this book even MORE than Cinder. The unlikely pairing of these two fairy tales had my head turning at every chapter to keep up with these original and dynamic characters. Meyer’s ability to follow several characters at once without causing confusion makes for a seamless climax to the point of refusing to put down the book, even with finals being just around the corner. I couldn't wait for this book to come out and now I have to wait another agonizing year for the third installment to be released. ...more "
