![]() ![]() Along the way, Scarlet meets this odd Wolf character and enlisted him to help her. Scarlet is trying to find out what has happened to her grandmother, who has mysteriously gone missing early on in the book. The Plot Thickens: I especially loved how effectively Meyer begins this second book with a whole set of new characters and a whole new storyline. ![]() It’s great to have these two strong, smart females leading the series. They’re quite different from each other in the sense that Scarlet tends to be more brazen and rash than Cinder, but bottom line, they’re both fiercely protective of those they love and are determined to stop anyone who means them harm. Strong Women: I have to say I loved Scarlet every bit as much as I loved Cinder. From there, as I said, the story takes off on a completely original path that eventually ties it in to Cinder’s story from the first book in the series. As with the original Red Riding Hood tale, there is also a grandmother who is in danger, as well as a wolf (well, a character named Wolf anyway). It’s like nothing I’ve ever read before and I love that freshness about it.Īs you can probably guess from the title, Scarlet is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, with Scarlet in the Red Riding Hood role (complete with fiery hair and a little red hoodie that she loves to wear). Meyer may use those fairytale characters as the jumping off point for her story and may incorporate a few elements here and there - like little shoutouts to those fairy tales – but her story is truly an original. As was the case when I read Cinder, I totally flew through the 450+ pages of Scarlet in just a couple of day because the story being told is just so darn good! I also love that even though this series is a fairytale retelling, it doesn’t really feel like we’re just rehashing a story that has already been told. The Lunar Chronicles series is definitely one of the most original and entertaining retellings I’ve come across in recent years. 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. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. ![]() 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. Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is missing. She’s trying to break out of prison-even though if she succeeds, she’ll be the Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive.
