Characters
- Scarlet- I like hotheaded characters. I liked Keith from Voltron, Bakugo from MHA, Katara from avatar and vi from arcane. But, I found Scarlet to be…annoying?? Scarlet is a hotheaded, impulsive, melodramatic girl. I honestly think the reason why I hated her was because she’s soooo childish. She throws temper tantrums that would make a 5 year old embarrassed. Also, fun fact, she throws tomatoes for fun. I also thought she was stupid. She decided to trust a wolf after he lied to her, instead of reaching the conclusion that she should trust him a little bit less and be more careful around him. She completely falls in love with him, which just doesn’t make sense to me like at all like all the red flags are there and she just ignores them.
- Wolf- look, I like a gentle giant more than the next guy, but I’m so annoyed by Wolf. I think the reason I don’t like him is because werewolf type characters make me…uncomfortable?? I hate when humans are compared to animals and the whole alpha thing bothered me. (Also, alphas aren’t a thing scientifically speaking, so it made it more annoying)
- Kai- Kai's solution to the Lunar problem makes absolutely no logical sense. I still don’t understand how this is still a plot point. I can't give him credit for being and wanting to be a leader because he's only making the situation worse. His decision to marry Queen Levana doesn't reduce the Lunar threat, and, in fact, increases it. He’s choosing a bandaid solution to save a bullet wound. He knows Queen Levana plans to kill him after they're married and use the Commonwealth as a stepping stone to taking over the planet. Marrying her does bring about temporary peace, but it also puts Earth in more danger. I also don’t understand how he hasn’t figured out that Cinder in the princess girl. Like…the clues are RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE!!!
- Cinder- USE EMAIL!!!
Plot
Since this is a retelling the basic story is predictable. If you e live 2 minutes on this earth you would know that
Romance
I don't like relationships that develop super passionately in a short period of time. Scarlet and Wolf don’t know each other for that long at most they knew each other for what 3, 2 days maybe and they act like they’re like life partners and it just really annoys me.
Alpha fricking male and alpha fricking female?WHY??????? I hated Wolf and Scarlet even more just for this. Also, it got waaaaay worse when Scarlet literally being like: Wolf - ArE YoU aSkiNg mE To bE yOuR aLpHa FeMalE?"

I do not factor audiobook narrators' performances into in my overall star rating of a book, but I would give Rebecca Soler a 4.5/5. She did better with this one than the last, with a bit more variance in her emotion, although it still drones or falls flat in parts. Her accents were quite good, actually allowing me to know who was talking when. However, I started to wonder why Scarlet has a French accent (typically, though sometimes Soler forgets to use it) but Kai, for instance, has an American one even though he lives in New Beijing.

The items I included in "Graphic" are mostly due to violence throughout the book related to themes and characters. This second book contained much more of that than the first. Items in "moderate" are either thematic in occurrence or are detailed enough to warrant more than a brief warning. I did want to explicitly inform the potential reader about my sexual violence/rape warning: it is only threateded/mentioned once in nongraphic terms. It never actually happens/happened.cassroberts89's review against another edition
