I liked the first book in this series, Cinder, enough to rate it 4 smiles and recommend it to a few people. This sequel doesn't disappoint.
The plot revolves around Scarlet's kidnapped grandmother and the street fighter who offers to help find her. Cinder, readers will recall, is trapped in a jail cell and must escape if she is to survive. The story packs action at every turn.
I think I actually liked this book better than the first. Scarlet is a character I can really get into. She is headstrong and loving. Despite all the things working against him, I even liked Wolf. Okay, I really liked Wolf. He's probably one of my all time favorite characters, and I have a lot. Plus, Cinder is back and she's always entertaining. The author even threw in a new guy to help us get more of that great sarcastic banter Cinder is so good at.
Overall, 5 smiles. I can't find fault with it.
On the off chance that Marissa Meyer finds this review, I wanna add one message for her. Kudos for breaking the "rules" of this business. YA in third person? Absolu-freaking-lutely. Your first novel kicking off a series? Heck yeah. I love your guts and ambition Ms. Meyer and I wish you the best of luck!
