First there was Cinder as in Cinderella. Now there is Scarlet as in Little Red Riding Hood. Still to come are Cress and White. What a series this is becoming! If Meyer can continue in this vein, many who love fantasy/science fiction will snap this series.
Cinder was wonderful. Scarlet is almost as enjoyable but I rated it more like 4.5 stars rather five. That means I must round it up to five! Perhaps the rating is because I'm growing accustomed to the author's approach and her writing style.
Scarlet and her Wolf are creative, imaginative, devoted to those who love them and courageous. Their story hinges on the search for Scarlet's missing grandmother. Difficult and dangerous, the two combine their efforts to find her. Wolf is in love with Scarlet but he doesn't know it. Scarlet is naive in her belief that she can reason with those who kidnapped her grandmother. Wolf knows the dangers but, nevertheless, is drawn along in the search.
And, the author skillfully links Scarlet's story to Cinder's own. It a marvel that such different tales can merge so flawlessly but they do. The book description tells all one should know about this novel. Whether you read YA or not if fantasy/science fiction is holds your interest I recommend this one without hesitation. Do read it but begin with Cinder so you can get the entire story.
