Scarlet by Marissa Meyer is the second book in the Lunar Chronicles. In Scarlet, we meet “Little Red Riding Hood” who is actually an 18 year-old girl living with her grandmother in France.

Scarlet’s grandmother has been missing for several weeks and the police have no clues. In fact, they are about to close the investigation under the assumption that Scarlet’s grandmother left her farm and her granddaughter of her own free will.

Oh My God! Oh My God! Oh My God!
I am falling in love with this series! It's definitely secured a spot in my best-series-I've-read list.
This is a perfect blend of suspense, romance, dystopia, action, fairytale, and fantasy!

Scarlet continues from where the last book ended. The story follows two new characters Scarlet and Wolf - a rendition of the Red Riding Hood, done perfectly if I say so myself - and occasionally goes back to Cinder's progress.

Actually more 3 1/2 stars than 3. I am really enjoying this series. I do love the traditional fairy tales and I do love modern reworking of fairy tales so I guess this is why I am enjoying this series!

Enjoyed it lots, if not as much as the first one. I appreciate needing to get to know Scarlet, but I was always anxious for the action to return to Cinder and Thorne and Iko. Really excited to see the whole team together in the next one. Runaway bandits on a spaceship, trying to save their home!! Is there any univese where that isn't my favorite thing ever? ...more

These are the funnest books! I'm totally in love with this series. Marissa Meyer has taken fairy tales and completely blown them out of the water with originality. I can't wait to what's next in Cress! ...more

started reading in 2016. Lost interest. Figured I would go back. Decided it's not worth making myself read books when the subject no longer interests me. Nothing wrong with the writing...just a change in my preferences. ...more
