Grade: A
We were counting down the days on this one. Imagine our delight upon finding it sitting out a few days early in our local Barnes & Noble! We immediately rushed home with our newly obtained copy to devour the second book in The Lunar Chronicles.
When we last left Cinder, she was in the process of escaping prison (and certain death). Kai, having made a deal with the Lunar Queen to hand over Cinder and accept the proposal of marriage, is still trying to grapple with the revelation that Cinder is not completely human. The Lunar Queen begins to set in motion her plans for world domination now that she has Kai pinned-down and Princess Selene (Cinder) in the cross-hairs.
Enter Scarlet, a feisty French girl whose grandmother has been kidnapped by a pack of Lunar wolves. She pairs up with Wolf (who may or may not have recently resigned from the pack) in order to rescue her grandmother. On their way to Paris, they follow the news reports detailing the hunt for Cinder and the impending marriage of Prince Kai. Soon after their arrival, Wolf reveals his true interest in Scarlet and she discovers why her grandmother has been taken.
We really had no idea where this story line would take us and we are happy to report that it was a wonderful surprise. Although we think book one is a little bit better, we are still excited to see how book three will unfold. Let the waiting game begin...again.
