My favourite book in the series!  As a direct continuation to its debut Cinder, Scarlet only manages to further the intrigue and incredible world building that emerges from this science fiction.  Plus, alongside even more loveable characters and plot lines, and a pace and story that slowly drags everything together, a reader, once upon opening, will not help but be drawn in.  Recommended for anyone who loves a good science fiction, with cocky spaceship captains, bioengineered soldiers, and a farm girl pilot who knows her way about a shotgun.  Anyone who loved the characters and story of the first book will be charmingly surprised as old favourite characters take centre stage alongside as well.

There is so much that happens in this book, even with the reread I was so entertained and on the edge of my seat with all the things that happen.  The plot and characters work so well together and I love getting to read all the point of views.  Cinder is literally doing so much, Kai is stressed, Iko is still just as amazing as she was in the first book.  Thorn is an icon, his banter alone was hilarious.  He is incapable of being serious for more than a second.  Scarlet being just as stubborn as I remembered, truly great for fighting for her loved ones.  And lastly, Wolf is so precious, he deserves all the best farm fresh tomatoes 🍅 as possible.
