The #1 New York Times Bestselling Series!

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.

im reading cinder and i absolutely love it

nevermind, i finished cinder and now im reading this

Scarlet lives on a farm with her grandmother. She works as a delivery girl back and forth from the farm to the Rieux Tavern, to deliver vegetables and fruit. But now, her grandmother has gone missing, and the police have called off the search for her. Then she finds her dad looking for something, tearing the whole house apart for it, to give to the kidnappers so he and his mother are safe; and the only thing he remembers about the kidnappers are tattoos on their elbows with LSOP and then a few numbers. At the tavern, Scarlet finds a man with a tattoo on his elbow and he is being really kind to her, so Scarlet does not know if she can trust him. On a loyal search to find her grandmother, Scarlet and Cinder’s paths intertwine as they both face problems big enough to not be able to handle alone. As Cinder is on the run from the government with another outlaw, the queen’s army is getting ready to attack in the thrilling second book in The Lunar Chronicles penned by Marissa Meyer. What I thought about it: Scarlet was amazing. I loved how much of the fairy tale, Little Red Riding Hood, was incorporated into the book. Scarlet is Little Red, and her grandmother is missing and she goes looking for her. At first, I wasn’t so thrilled that the whole story wasn’t going to be about Cinder, but as I started reading it I loved how the stories of Cinder and Scarlet blended together, and at the end they faced their problems together; as a team. I loved how Marissa really brought the fairy tale to life and made it realistic and believable in the real world. Also, the cover is just so amazing! That red cape is just so flowy and wavy, and I love that you can see part of Scarlet. I think that the struggles between Luna and Earth will be more tense as we go on, from the attack and because Levana is just so evilly terrible! Oops, terribly evil, my mistake. I can’t wait for Cress!

Cress is awesome!!!!

I really want to read, its book two.
