Scarlet, by Marissa Meyer

This is the sequel to the novel Cinder, which I have not written a review of, so I'll just say that it's really good and you should go read it before reading Scarlet. Also I decided to change the layout a little bit because, well, I can. :)

Novel: Scarlet, by Marissa Meyer, the second novel in the Lunar Chronicles

It's Like: Little Red Riding Hood, but a lot cooler since it takes place in the future with robots and cyborgs and spaceships and awesomeness. Also has the feel of Once Upon A Time because it is a twisted fairy tale.

Summary: It's hard to explain the plot of Scarlet if you don't know the plot of Cinder, but I'll try my best!

Scarlet's grandmother, Michelle, is missing, and she is the only one worried. In order to find her, she has help from a man named Wolf, who gives her every reason not to trust him. As Scarlet looks for her, Cinder is heading her way too, trying to find Michelle but for a completely different reason; to figure out where she came from and if she really is the Lunar princess.

Notes: (This is the part that I'm changing, if you didn't notice)

• Meyer's twists on the original Red Riding Hood is as good as her version of Cinderella, keeping the story similar enough so that you'll know what the outcome will be without knowing the specifics or what might be tweaked to fit the plot line. 
• I wish there was a little bit more about Cinder, because I felt that there wasn't enough going on about the overall plot with Queen Levana and slowing down the coming war. The plague was only mentioned once too, even though it was extremely important in Cinder and still seems to be a major part of society.
• Carswell Thorne is a lot like Finnick from Hunger Games, though slightly more annoying, but still very endearing. 
• I liked Scarlet for the most part, though she did have the tendency to not be able to think properly around Wolf, especially at the end. I find this trait quite annoying in female characters, when they are normally intelligent and strong willed but lose all reason whenever they get near the guy they like. I mention this in my review of Suite Scarlett, which makes me wonder if all Scarlets are like that...

Recommendation: You definitely should not read this book if you haven't read Cinder, because you will be horribly confused for the majority of the novel. But please, read Cinder! Especially if you like fairy tales or sci-fi/fantasy novels. Then you can read Scarlet, a sequel that, unlike most sequels, rival the first novel in its amazingness.
