Scarlet (Lunar Chronicles #2)
by Marissa Meyer

Goodreads synopsis:

This is the second book in the Lunar Chronicles, so if you haven't read book one, Cinder, but intend to, don't read this synopsis. Read about Cinder HERE.


This is not the fairytale you remember.

But it’s one you won’t forget.

Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is missing. The police have closed her case. The only person Scarlet can turn to is Wolf, a street fighter she does not trust, but they are drawn to each other.

Meanwhile, in New Beijing, Cinder will become the Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive – when she breaks out of prison to stay one step ahead of vicious Queen Levana.

As Scarlet and Wolf expose one mystery, they encounter Cinder and a new one unravels. Together they must challenge the evil queen, who will stop at nothing to make Prince Kai her husband, her king, her prisoner . . .

I absolutely adored the first book in this series, Cinder. I love fairy tales, both original and adapted, and this has to be my favourite adapted fairy tale series - by far! Book one was Cinderella, but she's not a simple girl, reduced to rags and slavery, she's a cyborg, and one feisty lady. Everything about the book was incredible, and the detail that was put into it was immense, so I'm really looking forward to seeing how the story is going to develop in this second book. It'll also be interesting to see how Marissa has dealt with incorporating the story of Red Riding Hood into Cinder's existing storyline.
It comes out in the UK on February 7th (the day before my birthday!) and I can't wait to get stuck in!
