I love rereading this series. I love the multi-POVs, the expansion of the world and characters, as well as the continued development of the characters we already know and love. This series truly has some of my favorite tropes of a sci-fi/fantasy series, but it doesn't feel like a copy paste of other sci-fi fantasies. This, along with the interwoven fairy tale re-tellings, just itch me as a reader in the best way. I think this book within the series is truly where the stakes become so much clearer, and the characters finally find their roles within the narrative they are given. Such a great series. ( )

I liked Scarlet as much as I enjoyed Cinder. Loved the new characters and I loved that Cinder didn’t immediately jump in to be the hero everyone wants her to be and took her time coming to that decision for herself. Can’t wait to start Cress now. ( )

This was the perfect book for me to read on the airplane and while I was vacationing at Disneyland. Fast paced, exciting but not too taxing on the brain.

I'm rating this three stars, which implies indifference, or that it's not such a great book, but it's a strong three. I think it's very good for what it does and for what it's trying to be but it's not one of the greatest books I've ever read.

The Lunar series feels to me like a TV show that would be on the CW. Pretty teenagers with dramatic/magical powers falling in love while fighting bad guys. It's fluff but entertaining well done fluff so far. I enjoy all of the characters and I am still interested in what happens next and that is seldom the case for me with YA series.

I am amazed at how Meyer is taking the tropes from Cinderella and now Little Red Riding Hood and reworking them as good science fiction and YA novels. The dimensionality she is giving the characters, the complexity she is weaving into the story, the humor and pathos she is imparting are all so much more than I had expected from the original premise. Anyone who dismisses this series because it is being marketed as a YA novel is cheating themselves of a wonderful experience. ( )

So many new things happening in this book, in a good way! Marissa Meyer does a great job of jumping straight into the story and keeps you interested in the characters from start to finish. Looking forward to reading Cress next while reading the pertinent short stories in between. ( )

Book Four: "The better to eat you with, my dear."
Dedication
For Mom and Dad, my best cheerleaders.
First words
Scarlet was descending toward the alley behind the Rieux Tavern when her portscreen chimed from the passenger seat, followed by an automated voice: "Comm received for Mademoiselle Scarlet Benoit from the Toulouse Law Enforcement Department of Missing Persons."
