Every bit much as I loved "Cinder," I love "Cerise" at least every bit much and perchance fifty-fifty more than! When information technology comes to immature adult fantasies/fairy tales, I cannot recommend these books highly plenty. marissa Meyer is an absolute masterful storyteller, and her books are completely free of 2 things--profanity and sex. For me, this is the nigh refreshing part of this book. It is over 400 pages of virtually nonstop action with somewhat familiar characters told in a post-modern setting. Yes, at that place is some violence, but none of the descriptions brand me recoil. My girl is well-nigh x, and this is the first truly young developed series that I would be comfy with her reading. I of the things that amazes me is that Marissa Meyer actually makes me similar her fantasy books. i am 1 who by and large does not like fantasy books, but in one case in a while, I find ane I similar. And this series is definitely a keeper. She explains things so that they somehow logically brand sense. And the links between the various characters are admittedly incredible. One more thing--don't look an ending that ties up all the loose ends. Just like she did with "Cinder," she has left yous somewhat hanging. This is a book that I recommend you start with caution (but please read "Cinder" outset) because once y'all outset information technology, you won't want to stop! I won this volume, and I reviewed it because I wanted to. No ane asked me to review it, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.show more

Warning: There may be spoilers for Cinder as this is the second book in a series and it picks up right where Cinder left off. Cerise Benoit's Grandmother is missing and no 1 simply Scarlet seems to desire to exercise a thing to discover her. When her father stumbles into her farmhouse claiming that he was kidnapped and tortured by some people who are tattooed with a similar tattoo that she noticed on a street fighter named Wolf earlier that twenty-four hours, Ruddy begrudgingly seeks Wolf'due south help, just there is something that is but a little too animalistic and unsettling about him. Meanwhile Cinder is escaping from prison and ends up enlisting the help of 'Captain' Thorne. Installing Iko's personality scrap into a barely working spaceship they leave globe and plan what to practice side by side. Cinder knows she should go to Africa, but she is still reluctant to accept her function as princess. I was wary starting Scarlet, equally I didn't desire to leave Cinder and Kai's story backside to start on a new one about new people. I was worried that Scarlet'southward story would mean Cinder would only pop up at the very end, however straight away those fears were quashed. Cinder is very much still a main grapheme in this novel and it follows her as she struggles to deal with the fallout of the ball and everything that happened to her only days before. Through Cinder nosotros are introduced to a new grapheme, Thorne, who seems to be in this novel mainly for some much needed comic relief and a way to get Cinder Our of New Beijing withal, I believe his role in this series will become more of import in Cress. Scarlet is very dissimilar from Cinder, that much is clear from the go go, while Cinder is a mechanic who very much wants to remain subconscious and lets other people deal with their ain problems Scarlet is an outspoken immature farmer who knows how to handle a gun and isn't afraid to get into a fight. I know some people had issues with Scarlet'due south graphic symbol merely I liked her bad attitude and tough persona. 1 thing I greatly capeesh with this series is Meyer's conclusion to make the women in it much more than than the damsel in distress. They fight their own battles and do job's that are not regularly occupied by women; Cinder is a mechanic, Scarlet is a farmer, and while yes Cress is a prisoner she's too a hacker. They are not your typical fairytale heroins. The Romance in this novel is also different from the slow burn and sweet glances between Cinder and Kai. It'south not much of a spoiler to say that Scarlet and Wolf are the love interests this time round and their chemistry is like an explosion, not a spark. Both their personalities can be a mixture of sugariness and volatile, meaning that even though they only known each other a short corporeality of time they spend and then much of it in tight corners that their whirlwind romance is understandable. As with Cinder I didn't find whatever of the 'twists' to be anything but predictable but unlike Cinder I didn't feel that the 'big reveals' were the epicentre of the plot and therefore I didn't feel frustrated that the characters hadn't realised it, or that the author wasn't doing enough to cleverly muffle it so I wasn't as bothered. I loved this story, nevertheless the reason I gave this book iv instead of 5 stars was because I felt like Meyer wrote too many indecisions in to keep the serial going for longer. If Cinder had just permit Kai know that she was really the Lunar Princess then they could accept kick started a rebellion, only instead I feel like that's being fatigued out until the next novel but and then that Meyer can write a series of 4 retelling and drag it out for longer than needs be. It's arguable that we might miss some characters etc... so I'm on the fence as to whether or not information technology's pointless to do so but I withal think it was a bit of an obvious attempt to keep the series going. However information technology'due south faults does not distract from it's overall positives.show more
by Iona
This book has NO "negative" reviews! Now I have to be the weirdo. This review volition have spoilers almost Cinder, so don't read on if y'all don't desire to know. I hoped Scarlet would redeem the series for me since I was one of the few people who wasn't a fan of Cinder. While I know why Marissa Meyer gear up Cinder in China (because the tale of Cinderella originated there,) the way she handled the culture was a complete mess, and greatly hindered my enjoyment throughout the novel. Thank goodness, I only had to bear Meyer'due south misuse of Chinese honorifics in i scene in Scarlet. Cherry-red, on the other hand, is largely set in France--a country I have no feel/associations with and therefore would not find if there were cultural discrepancies. I was right, Cerise annoyed me a lot less than Cinder did, but even so a volume I would hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend. Juvenile Writing, Tackling Uneasy Subjects and Relationships: This is more of a personal gripe. I just checked Amazon, and apparently Scarlet is targeted towards ages 12 and up (I e'er thought the book was targeted towards sixteen and up, oops!,) so I guess the lengthy writing that frequently made me feel like Meyer is underestimating her readers is suitable after all. There is a scene were the writer suggests a one night stand (okay, maybe it was a one week stand, but that's non that much better) and too the brief suggestion of rape in another. Being that the historic period level is twelve, I see why these topics are glossed over, but it also makes me feel like the author is not confident enough to tackle these issues despite throwing them in. Queen Levana: GIMMIE THE BACKSTORY!: I know I am supposed to hate Levana, but I had issues finding a reason to hate her. I go that she wants world domination--and that's ever bad--merely I wanted to find out WHY she wanted so many people to love her. Was she bullied? A social outcast? World domination is non easy. Not sure why she has to marry Kai either. Why not simply kill him and win world domination through conquest? Merely I merely imagine her equally a drastic cougar. I would personally spend my time reading than ruling the globe. Cinder tries to make her hateful by describing her burn wounds as a baby, only I felt that was too forced. If her orchestrating the mutation of her people into werewolves and the destruction of thousands of lives didn't make me hate her, a baby getting burned won't miraculously do the fox. If Cinder's stepmother made me feel for her, despite her "evilness" (which I felt was i of the brighter moments in Cinder,) Queen Levana should take a fleshed out story also. Maybe her story is revealed in the novella? I certainly promise so. Cinder, Poor Daughter Gets Overshadowed: I like Cinder and Scarlet equally, they both have their strengths, simply also can be besides oblivious or accept anger issues. While reading the story, I felt much more invested in Scarlet'due south character and Cinder chop-chop became overshadowed. I likewise felt Cinder became less highly-seasoned, not only considering she was overshadowed, just because everything became likewise convenient with her new Lunar powers. Now not but did she accept cyborg powers of quick problem solving and the ability to gear up hardware by connecting them to her...caput? but too mind-control AND the ability to make spaceships undetectable. It felt like every time the author hit a plot pigsty, she "solved" it past giving Lunars a new ability. "Oh shoot, how is Cinder going to pause out of prison house? Eh, she tin can just mind control the baby-sit with her Lunar gift! Oh shoot, how is Cinder going to travel undetected in a gigantic spaceship? Um, well Lunars have the power to do that besides! Oh no, Cinder is stuck in a crowd, how will she get out of it? That's easy! Her Lunar gift can modify her appearance to disguise her from everyone!" What can this girl NOT do? And how much of it is actually attributed to her as a person...and not considering she has the ability to download and process manuals from the Internet. Suddenly, information technology felt like Cinder became invincible. Her "let's connect electronics to my cyborg encephalon" thing made her even harder to relate to. Cinder & Kai: I was okay with Cinder & Kai's human relationship in Cinder--fifty-fifty though Kai didn't take much of a personality aside from being handsome (he as well has way too much time on his easily for beingness the leader of the entire Eastern Commonwealth.) In Cinder, he struck me as a very poor leader, spending his time beingness angry, relying on his advisors, non showing up on fourth dimension to land meetings, and hitting on a girl. Kai really got the curt end of the stick in Cerise, in the few scenes he does appear in, he only serves as background details to the plot. He still has notwithstanding to win me over. I wonder how Kai and Cinder relationship volition work out, precisely, how Kai will react when he finds out Cinder's true identity as Princess Selene. Volition he be jumping for joy? And how volition he convince Cinder to exist with him without beingness a jerk that'south like "I know you are the princess, and so let's ally and everything volition be fine and corking! And let's ignore the whole part about locking you upwardly in prison house, doubting y'all, and stuff." It'due south going to be sappy. I can merely feel information technology. Cherry-red & Wolf, Echoes of Twilight/A Discovery of Witches: Non instalove, merely dangerously close. Their relationship progressed in the manner that romance novels practice: the characters don't trust ane some other and there's some tension, but and then they all of a sudden realize that they are made for one some other. How fast their relationship gave me this schadenfreude feeling. I didn't want information technology to be THAT easy. I WANTED THEM Not TO WORK OUT. I am evil like that. And because I thought Carmine did not deserve Wolf. Seriously, that girl has some anger issues. When Wolf comments on her odor, she immediately snaps at him, telling him it'southward none of his business. That is NOT how you treat a guy who is willing to aid you rail down your missing grandmother. There'due south a departure betwixt being a badass and being rude and ungrateful. I admit, in that location were some sweetness moments, but when I got to the stop, their relationship made me wince. I felt Wolf had more than development than Kai though, so I did root for him. Merely there was a point where I just felt bad for him because Scarlet was just--mean. I could merely motion-picture show him being that wounded canis familiaris thrown out into the rain. So came the Twilight echoes. Cerise was made to be this independent, strong-willed daughter, but then she still depended so much on Wolf to salvage the day. There are moments when she overestimates herself, kind of similar Diana from A Discovery of Witches. And then Wolf had the whole "I am too unsafe for y'all! You have no idea how close I was to harming you..." affair. Ugh. Blending Fairytale with Sci-fi: I appreciate how Meyer weaved sci-fi and fairy tales together. The fairy tale elements are often in the groundwork, while the characters have a life of their own. There was a moment, when Scene ran onto a stage in an opera house that was supposed to be a "forest," that struck me as heavy handed and unnecessary. Possibly information technology was especially annoying because she was supposed to be in great danger, yet the author all the same makes her run through a stupid cardboard "forest" for the sake of tying information technology into the fairytale. Oh, poor Reddish! Addressing Plot-Holes: THOSE ID CHIPS The id-chips left me with a lot of questions in Cinder: how did these id-bit stealing androids get placed in a government facility? Is this a conspiracy? And I am glad Meyer addressed them. Somewhat. I still felt it could have been better handled. Evidently the general public Care nigh those chips, and would anarchism if they knew it was stolen, because it'southward VERY important to the family unit--or then information technology is said. Which is a surprise, because nobody seems to care enough to claim it after their loved one's death. Or even discover its disappearance. ID-chips causing a anarchism? I incertitude it. Overall, I felt Scarlet was slightly stronger than Cinder due to more character development in the new characters, though it as well had quite a few flaws that fabricated Ruby-red a slow read for me. Red has the same fast-paced, action-packed, sci-fi and loose fairytale qualities I enjoyed in Cinder though. It'southward a compassion that Cinder and Kai recede into the background, which makes me scared that the next books will do the same matter and innovate more new characters at the expense of the old. If you loved Cinder, I am certainly you will dear Reddish. Just be prepared not to see Kai or Cinder likewise much. Equally for me, although I was not impressed with the series thus far, each book for slightly different reasons, I know I will probably withal read the next book, hoping it will alter my listen. I am determined to like this series!testify more

I Honey THIS SERIES!!! If you haven't read Cinder you demand to considering this is an epic serial. Now that we're in to book 2 at that place was a lot more activity. Information technology was nonstop! Carmine (red riding hood) was looking for her grandmother who'd gone missing. The authorities had given up the search claiming a suicide/runaway, but Crimson couldn't believe that. She found a guy named Wolf that could possibly assistance her. They went on a wild adventure trying to keep from getting caught or killed as they searched for answers to the disappearance. Scarlet was feisty with a atmosphere and stood up for others, a great addition to the cast. Don't worry, there was plenty of Cinder and Kai in the story too. The Point of View switched between Scarlet, Cinder, Kai, and sometimes Wolf and Thorne. Thorne was pretty hilarious by the way. I won't tell you nearly him so you can find out for yourself. I didn't go bored when the POV switched because I loved all the characters and want to know what was going on with each of them. Blood-red was an intense read full of run-for-your-life adventure and romance. I can't await to read book 3! Content Ratings: sexual: mild language: very mild violence: moderateshow more than

Fairytales in the future, fairytales in space. If you haven't read Cinder yet, pick information technology up and give it a whirl. Scarlet is a new character to the series, but there is still enough about Cinder in this 1. Even my favorite robot personality is back. As the kickoff one resembled Cinderella, this ane favors Little Cerise Riding Hood. There is of course the necessary "large, bad wolf", who is definitely big and bad, but in Wolf's own special fashion - and then he's got you questioning everything. Yeah, at that place is a grandmother in this 1 likewise. So at that place are familiar parts to the Little Reddish Riding Hood story, but this is not the story from your childhood. This is a re-imagined world where the girls aren't damsels in distress, merely are kicking barrel and taking names. Marissa Meyer has a way with weaving an old, simple tale into something sci-fi, romantic, and action packed all at the aforementioned time. And she does it keeping the characters interesting and the story fresh. There is a political drama weaved into the story, it's really the glue that is holding all of these characters together and giving them something to fight for. If you love fairytales, cyborgs, space ships, and a niggling swooning mixed in, this is a serial for y'all! ARC reviewed by Jessica for Book Sake.
