Scarlet by Marissa Meyer - ESSENTIAL


Meyer, Marissa Scarlet (Lunar Chronicles 2), 464 p. Feiwel, FEBRUARY 2013.  $18.  Content: G (2 swears, mild violence).

Scarlet’s grandmother has disappeared and no one seems to care except for Scarlet.  When Scarlet meets Wolf, a stone-hard street fighter, she may have found an ally in her search. Or she may have found someone who will betray her right into the hands of the Lunar Queen’s thaumaturges and their genetically altered armies.  If Cinder doesn’t escape her high-tech prison, the Lunar Queen will have her executed.  With a little help from her new robotic parts and a fellow prisoner, who happens to have a ship, she may have a chance to unravel the mystery of her life.  Should the two groups meet, they may have enough wits and bravery to save the world.  

Bravo Marissa Meyer.  I think it make a huge difference if you know where you want your series to go before the 1st becomes a best seller.  You can tell that this is not a sloppy 2nd.  I can’t believe I have to wait until 2014 for the 3rd – and then another year for the 4th –well worth the wait!
