Well, this was a pleasant surprise.

After rereading Cinder, I jumped straight into the sequel, and was not disappointed.

In this book, we get to meet several new characters, which I loved. For one, we follow the story of Scarlet, an 18 year old girl who lives with her grandmother in the small town of Rieux, where they tend to a farm, until one day her grandmother disappears. With the help of Wolf, a street fighter with a mysterious past, she finds out that her grandmother was kidnapped a ...more

After reading Cinder I was looking forward to this book so much especially as it involves Cinder and Scarlett. And I adore retellings that involve red riding hood, one of my favourite characters.

Retellings for Red Riding Hood are great and I love these two.

This gif here also reflects how I imagine Scarlet and Wolf acting around each other, although Scarlett's appearance different.

So I already Had very high hopes because quite frantically Red Riding Hood is amazing and there is no getting aroun After reading Cinder I was looking forward to this book so much especially as it involves Cinder and Scarlett.

So I already Had very high hopes because quite frantically Red Riding Hood is amazing and there is no getting around that...although I didn't like the film Hoodwinked.

When I first realised this book was called Scarlet I thought that it may be one of those series which jumps from one set of characters to another and the ones from the first book only make a short cameo in the following. And this didn't happen !!! . And as you can probably tell I was over the moon by this because I really loved the characters from the Cinder and didn't want to give them up for new characters even though Scarlet and Wolf are amazing.

I also liked how Scarlet Benoit (love the name) lives in Paris so you are able to get the bigger picture on how their world works as before it has solely based in Beijing and I wanted to know how the rest of there world worked.

Now what I think of the characters (view spoiler)

This book was just as good as Scarlet and if you haven't read it you need to, and if you haven't read Cinder then read it and you'll see the completely new outlook on these classic fairy tales that will change your mind on how to view these fairy tales.

I 100% loved this book..Even better then the first one. Scarlet has more action in it but not toooo much romance but enough to make a girl happy. anyways you get a lot of question from the 1st book ( Cinder ) Answered in this book. I really enjoyed Scarlet and Wolf. and can't wait to get my hand on the 3rd book. ( HURRY and come out already ) ...more
