Summary:
Scarlet takes us right into the action where Cinder is in prison but must escape. With a little help from a new, funny character, Captain Thorne, she manages to get out of prison and heads out on the run.
In the meantime, Scarlet's grandma has gone missing. The police have given up looking for her, so Scarlet is on her own. She meets up with Wolf. Wolf is a street fighter who may know a bit about where grandma is.
The foursome ends up meeting up because they are all looking for grandma. They must work together, even though all four have specific personalities that occasionally outshine one another. Also, both females can be very stubborn and since they are the lead in the novel, the decisions by the women are what move the story along.
My thoughts:
I know that my summary is a little vague. It's hard to figure out exactly what to say as a summary that doesn't give much away. I tried to keep it bare bones so you have an outline of what happens, but none of the details that really make this story worth reading.
A warning, this story is about Scarlet more than Cinder. I know that we all fell in love with Cinder in the last book and she is one of the main characters in this book, but the primary story is focused on Scarlet. Scarlet is an interesting character. I found her to be fierce, ready for anything, and no-nonsense. She is a little skeptical of people before trusting them, but once she does she is extremely loyal. As the main character of the story, the world building and character development focuses on her instead of Cinder, Kai, and Iko from the first book.
I love Iko! I think she is by far the funniest character in the book; however, Captain Thorne holds his own. There were definitely times that I laughed out loud while reading, much to the enjoyment of my high school students who were silently reading as well. Because of my clear enjoyment of the book, I had a waiting list of students who wanted to read before I was done. I haven't heard a negative review from anyone. This book has romance, suspense, action, drama, and comedy. What more could you possibly ask for?
