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.

Another great book from Marissa Meyer.
The book starts with an introduction of our new character Scarlet, who is looking for her grandmother and meets this mysterious guy Wolf. I was little bit more conserned about Cinder and Kai, but pretty quickly I started to wonder how Scarlet fits into story, and how she and Cinder would meet etc.
And stroy is pure genious. There are so complex and deep story and flawless backstory. Everything fits together perfectly and we meet to new characters along Scarlet; Thorne and Wolf.
And just as in Cinder, here too Meyer has takes classic Little Red Riding Hood story and makes it completely her own. The base is there and then she has really shaken things up and the final product is perfect. And again, there are some funny details like Scarlets red hoodie.
I really must confess that this was one of those books that I just couln't stop reading. I was reading like a madwoman and I just needed to finish it. And it was great. It was amazing. And the ending... GO, CINDER, GO! Yes! It's unbelievable that she's just sixteen. She is a teenager who has been through a lot and she has managed to grow such a great and strong character and I can't wait to see how she's going to beat Levana.
Please, please, please.. I need to get Cress like NOW. Like yesterday. I would to anything to get ARC. Do you hear me? Anything!
Ps. Kai, I love you. No matter what happens. I L-O-V-E YOU!
