Synopsis: (Via GoodReads)
The fates of Cinder and Scarlet collide as a Lunar threat spreads across the Earth...
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. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn't know about her grandmother or the 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.
This book is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, and it is a continuation of the 1st book in the series. There are 4 point of views in this book, and that gives more input into the story as a whole. The story mainly focuses on Scarlet's side of the story, but includes Cinder, Prince Kai, and Wolf's p.o.v.
In this book we follow Scarlet who lives on a farm with her grandmother. She finds that her grandmother is missing and the reader is told that it has been two weeks since she was taken. The reader sees how Scarlet is a brave open-minded person who is very like-able As I was reading, I found myself being able to relate with the things she chose to do and that made the story better.
There were many twists and turns in the story that were shocking, compared to Cinder. I found myself comparing the story, as a whole, to Cinder and that made me not love the book as much as I loved Cinder. I found this book to be harder to get into, but it was a great continuation of Cinder in my opinion.
