March 2019 Not First in a Series BOTM - Scarlet, by Marissa Meyer

[Felicia]

Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of the 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. 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.

Starting this

[Aly]

End of book 1 (view spoiler)[ I like Thorn, he's pretty funny. I don't think Wolf had anything to do with kidnapping Scarlet's grandmother, but hopefully he can help her find information. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

End of book 2 (view spoiler)[ Wolf has to be a werewolf or part wolf or something. It's sad that his brother wants to kill him, but I'm glad he and Scarlet kissed! (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

End of book 3 (view spoiler)[ I'm a little bored. I want Cinder and Thorn to meet up with Scarlet. And I hope Wolf is playing a part and makes it up to Scarlet. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ this was too slow. It literally took me 2 days of listening. Cinder and Scarlet should've met sooner, there needed to be more relevant plot than Scarlet looking for her grandmother the entire time. (hide spoiler)]

[Saige]

Finished (view spoiler)[I love the romances in this, and how real the characters feel. I disagree with Aly about the ending though. It felt a little rushed instead of too slow because Cinder and Thorne found Scarlet way too easily after finding her grandmother's farm. My one big issue is that there was never any real development of the grandmother as a character. It made Scarlet's extreme attachment to her feel a little forced. (hide spoiler)]

[Damselflies]

25% (view spoiler)[So far same feelings at with the first book, not super excited about much, although I guess the writing has improved a little (hide spoiler)]
45% (view spoiler)[ Am I the only one or is she just spoiling her own books :') like how more obvious can it be that wolf is one of those new lunar soldiers and that scarlets grandma has been kidnapped to get the location of cinder/princess Selene. If swear if Wolf isn't one of those new lunar soldiers that has deserted, shoot me in the head (hide spoiler)]

[Damselflies]

68% (view spoiler)[I'm going to be glad if I manage to still finish it, it's been such a drag experience in all honesty, nothing that surprises me much, nothing that excites me, literally only good part so far was the Gramma "turning" into ran part of the book... That was a nice little twist on the original fairy tale I guess (hide spoiler)]

[Damselflies]

82% (view spoiler)[ Come on Wolf barge in there and Cinder drop your ship there :') literally only thing I want right now is scarlet and grandmere together (hide spoiler)]

[Damselflies]

85% (view spoiler)[Now she's there ? sheesh, I would rather have grandmere miraculously saved -sigh- (hide spoiler)]
