It gave a more complete picture of what was happening, and what you didn’t see happen you heard about either through another main character watching a netscreen comm or news feed. The story jumps around a little between three main characters’ points of view, always in the third person, which I felt was good. No one really has the full story of what happened, and certainly no one, with the exception of Cinder herself and Dr Erland, even know Cinder’s real identity. We start the book hours after the end of Cinder, with the world gossiping about the ball, Cinder, the Emperor and the Lunar Queen.

The storyline was well crafted, again better than in Cinder, with more plot twists. Don’t get me wrong, Cinder was a good adaptation, but (just in case you missed my review) REALLY predictable.

I definitely enjoyed this book more than Cinder. Scarlet is the fairytale retelling of Little Red Riding Hood, and is book two of the Lunar Chronicles series.
