A review by sandra_castillo
Scarlet by Marissa Meyer

5.0

Loved this one even more than Cinder, and I LOVED Cinder! Seriously though, I don’t know why I waited so long to read this one. It may have been because I was a bit worried about the Little Red Riding Hood re-telling. The ones I have read in the past I have not enjoyed, but this one was just amazing.

There are four perspectives being told in this book and that did make me hesitant at first. But the story just flowed so well, and it didn’t feel like the character changes were too abrupt or disconnected. In fact the entire story arc of this book and this series so far is incredible. It is so well intertwined and woven together perfectly and the incorporation of the fairy tale twists fits into the story so naturally. But at the same time these characters are their own identities, they have very different, head strong personalities and they are all so bad ass.

I was so happy that we still got to see a lot of Cinder in this book, she is my favorite<3 Omg and her friendship with Thorne was the best. I loved how they bickered and argued all the time. They obviously had a mutual reason to stick together but the loyalties that developed from that just made me so happy. And I did enjoy getting to know Scarlet in this book. She is such a feisty girl and I liked how she never gave up in her goal of finding her Grandmother. Also, Scarlet and Wolf<3 Just saying.

I don’t know how Marissa Meyer does it! But this series is definitely one of my favorites and I strongly recommend it if you haven’t picked it up yet.
