Publisher's summary

Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of the best-selling 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.

Good but too violent

I liked the first book, and only wish this one would have stayed at a similar level of violence.

Scarlet

I love this series the books are great love the story with wolf and scarlet

It’s a building block in the 4 part arc

This one is my least favorite, but it’s integral info for the story and character development. I love cinder and cress’ characters the most, but we need Scarlet and wolf especially when you get to winter, scarlet becomes SO important so I really value how we get to see inside her here.
A lot of little details about the back story and the soldiers of Luna in this book that don’t seem important until fairest and winter! Listen hard, you won’t regret what you glean!
As always Rebecca soler is amazing at narration.
Sincerely, a big lunartic :)

Amazing!

This is one among 4 great books among the main series along with 4 extra books. This writer is amazing and I have enjoyed other series by her as well. The humor and complicated plots are terrific. Even is this second book of the series I would count as my least favorite (even though it’s still AMAZING) I would recommend it to anyone over 10 (and who doesn’t mind romance)

one of my fav series

it's truly one of the best YA series out there to which I come back. this was a first time listening to the story and loved the performance as well.

Scarlet

Love the concept and the layout beautiful written can’t wait to dig into the next one

Cinder trumps Scarlet

Recall: Cinder, the Lunar cyborg mechanic, was invited to the Royal Ball by the young and handsome Prince Kai. When Cinder finally arrives, (late, rain soaked, and dirty), she has an urgent message for Prince Kai: the evil Lunar Queen Levana wants to force him into a marriage alliance and then kill him. Queen Levana spotted Cinder at the ball, and demanded that she be arrested as a Lunar fugitive and returned to Luna.

At the beginning of this story, we are following two different characters; Scarlet and Cinder. Scarlet is in France and trying to track down her grandmother, who she believes has been kidnapped and gets some unexpected help from a street fighter named Wolf. On the other side of the world, Cinder is in the midst of breaking out of prison and pairs up with another fugitive, Captain Thorne, on the way. Their paths will cross when Cinder searches for the truth about where she came from and as Scarlet searches for her grandmother, who might hold the answers. The story has a "Little Red Riding Hood" meets "Cinderella" twist to it,while the wicked which releases chaos all over the world.

The story overall was cute, but not as good as book 1. The character Scarlet didn't particularly appeal to me, I would have preferred to hear more about what Cinder and Captain Thorne were doing, rather than listen to anything that Scarlet had to say. I'm still planning on reading the next book, even if it is for no other reason than I love Iko.

It took a while

It took a while for me to get into the story line with the new characters but in the end it hooked me back in!! Stick to it even if you might get confused bc I promise it will all pay off. Can't wait to start the next one!

Hooked!!!

Before I even finished hearing "Cinder," I ordered "Scarlet." I couldn't resist. Thankfully, I trusted my intuition because it paid off. I was hooked! I loved Cinder and I wanted to know what would happen next--plus they added side stories!!! I loved every second of this audible. Get to a relaxing moment to a full on cardio workout, it kept me going. Before this one even finished, I brought "Cress." I think I'll probably order the last one before it's even up!

Awesome!

loved every minute! I have read them myself but the narrator did such an awesome job this is what it will sound like in my head from now on.
