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.muff1n_reads's review against another edition

This book presents us with two major storylines. First we meet a new character, Scarlet, who resembles Little Red Riding Hood and lives in the European Federation. Her grandmother is really the only family she has ever known and now she's missing. She decides to find her grandmother herself and right around that time she meets Wolf, a peculiar character.
At the same time, Cinder escapes prison together with another prisoner, Carswell Thorne. She explores her new-found powers and struggles with the morality of it.
"She didn't want to be one of those Lunars who took advantage of her powers just because she could. She didn't want to be lunar at all.”
It was so difficult to put this book down. The chapters weren't very long and it was easy and interesting to read. If there was no need to sleep, I would have finished reading this book in one go. It's been a few months since I read the first book and I forgot some details.
On to the sequel!
