Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of Marissa Meyer’s bestselling Lunar Chronicles. She’s trying to break out of prison — even though if she succeeds, she’ll be the Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive. Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn’t know about her grandmother or the grave … grave danger she has lived in her whole life. When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother’s whereabouts, she is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana, who will do anything for the handsome Prince Kai to become her husband, her king, her prisoner. An NPR Best Book of 2013!

I really like to think I’m the world’s slowest reader. Yet, somehow, I’m already on the third book in this series in under a month. I haven’t read through a full series since the Vampire Chronicles, and I definitely haven’t read this fast since before puberty!
These books are so much fun to read and so interesting. I haven’t met a character I …
I don’t know why I waited so long to read the second book in The Lunar Chronicles. I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed Cinder, and Scarlet did not disappoint. Scarlet is definitely a strong female lead and will do anything to save her beloved grandmother, even if that means putting herself in grave danger. Marissa Meyer’s beautiful descriptions and …
Love, love, love!!
I have no problem being Wolf’s alpha female! I’d like to say that this story picked up right where Cinder left off (and it did), but the author did readers a favor by giving brief recaps during each character perspective. Thankfully, the world building wasn’t disruptive and I found it quite easy to imagine the picturesque town of Rieux, which is …
I also loved this book. Second book to the Lunar Chronicles. Never know what is going to happen. But highly recommend. Better than the first.
I liked this much better the second time! That might be because it benefitted from the context of all the rest of the books in the Lunar Chronicles, which I LOVE. My favorite part of this book were still the scenes involving Cinder, her new partner-in-crime Carswell Thorne (who is SUCH a fantastic caricature of the gorgeous, devil-may-care …
As I slowly make it down my never ending TBR I finally got to Scarlet and I’m so happy I did.
I think I enjoyed this book even a little more than Cinder and I already loved Cinder.
I just love this mix and perfect blend of traditional fairy-tale with SiFi that Meyer has created here with the Lunar Chronicles. This book takes of shortly after …
Even better than the first book in the series. Great characters and world building
Scarlet is my favorite from the series
Loved the whole series. Very original take on classic fairy tales.
Gah I need more, so happy there are more books in this series to read. We learn a lot in book two and seeing how everyone is connected is very interesting. Marissa Meyer continues to keep the story going and keeping the reader engaged.
Known as an eccentric woman, no one thinks twice when Scarlet’s grandmother disappears. But Scarlet knows her grandmother would never abandon her. As she searches for her grandmother, Scarlet will cross paths with Wolf. A man who seems to be more animal than human. He has an idea of who has her grandmother, and despite her doubts, Scarlet will …
Overall, the book of Scarlet stays true to all the parts of Cinder that I liked. The female protagonists are both strong women with careers and specialties that make them unique and likable. They have their own goals and are willing to work and sacrifice to meet them. The world continues to stay interesting as we explore new areas in futuristic …
Scarlet is the second book in the Lunar Chronicles. I enjoyed that we still get to see a continuation of Cinder’s story while meeting new characters like Scarlet and Wolf. This story was action packed and I cannot wait to keep reading the series. Scarlet is a force to be reckoned with in this story. While these are fairytale names, they have a …
Scarlet and Wolf is my absolute favorite couple and book in the Lunar Chronicles!! <3
The tale of “Little Red Riding Hood” reimagined in a futuristic world where Scarlet is the granddaughter of a farmer who has a lot of secrets of her own. Scarlet has to save her grandmother from whoever had kidnapped her. She teams up with a street fighter named Wolf.
What I liked about this story is how one is never certain what Wolf’s …
I chose to read Scarlet as part of the Summer Reading program with my local library. I’m so glad that I was challenged to read outside my normal genres. Scarlet is a fantastic retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with a SCI-FI twist. I was immediately caught up in the story. It’s well written and nicely paced. This book was hard to put …
A fantastic new take on an old fairytale! Read the series!
Man, this series has sucked me in. I never expected to like it this much and now I can’t get my hands on the books fast enough. I like how this book intertwined Scarlet’s and Cinder’s stories (it took me awhile to see the connection) and brought them together at the end. I still can’t decide how I feel about Wolf. I mean, his very name is Wolf, …
This is the second book in the Lunar Chronicles series and it is a retelling of the Little Red Riding Hood. This time, we follow our main character Scarlet as she tries to find her missing grandmother. The setting this time is in France.
Not only we follow Scarlet’s perspective, but also we get to be in Cinder’s perspective since the two of them …
