Continuing my YA reading trend but this time something that is not a romcom. I thought I'd pick up this series once again and finish it this time round!

I enjoyed this, the second half to final third was great, things picked up speed, the plot thickened, reveals happened, and I'm keen for where the plot and character arcs are going.

I liked Scarlet and Wolf and thought Wolf's whole character was a very clever tie into the original red riding hood story. 

My biggest issue is that the first half of the story took so long to pick up things up, like I still enjoyed it and kept reading but it was like alright like we're not going anywhere with this?? Things are just kinda basic?? The blurb also made it sound like Cinder's story line would cross into Scarlet's WAY sooner than it actually did.

Whilst Scarlet and Wolf are cute and have interesting dynamic, I think it would have hit much more if the first half spanned so much more time, like at least a month, so that way it builds the relationship to make the betrayal and everything that follows land more. Whereas now it's like awww but like do I really buy it??

Regardless, keen to start the next one!
