Cinder returns in the second thrilling installment of the New York Times-bestselling Lunar Chronicles.
She’s trying to break out of prison—even though if she succeeds, she’ll be the Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive. Halfway around the world, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn’t know about her grandmother and the grave danger she has lived in her whole life.
When Scarlet encounters Wolf, a street fighter who may have information as to her grandmother’s whereabouts, she has no choice but to trust him, though he clearly has a few dark secrets of his own. As Scarlet and Wolf work to unravel one mystery, they find another when they cross paths with Cinder. Together, they must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen who will do anything to make Prince Kai her husband, her king, her prisoner.
Another good book in the series with more likeable characters. Scarlet and Wolf are both very sympathetic and multilayered. Meyer is also good at painting scenes, especially describing human actions. I get a vivid, detailed image about the sequence of events from reading their text. They also know how to keep the romance interesting but not too sappy.
I remember quitting this years back. I don't remember why. I enjoyed Scarlet and Wolf, and the uncertainty who to trust.

This book has it all! Interesting characters, love, action and suspense. And space ships, not to forget!
I fall in love more and more with this series and I have no idea how I should survive until January 2016 when "Winter" (4th book) will be published in German. Btw, the German covers are stunning. I like the English ones too, but the German covers - bookshelf candy!
Marissa Meyer is a genius in plotting. The story is so well structured and so logical, nevertheless you can't really guess what happens next.
Cinder is back! I like her as if she's my little sister! Her story was so heart ripping and now she's finally back. Still fighting, still struggling with her identify. I love that her story goes on, she's still a main character and we even hear the story from her point of view.
We meet again Levana, the evil …

We meet again Levana, the evil witch (sorry, queen) from Luna. She's a great villain. So cruel, so straight following her plans! Kai is also back.
Also we meet some new main characters: Scarlett of course, she is a kick ass woman! I liked her instantly! Then there's Thorne, a funny guy who's a bit reminding me of Jack Sparrow (from Pirates of the Caribbean). And Wolf, ahhhh - he's the hot, dangerous guy and long time you can't say if he's a good one or a bad one; for sure he has a lot of (shocking) secrets.
I'm really looking forward to Cress and Winter, how they will find to the others and what's their connection and backstory.
Please more androids like Iko and more Cyborgs! It's such a highlight of this series!
The Future doesn't look good, this book is based in the future, we have hoverpods, space flight, people on the moon and cyborgs....and yet the tin opener is still manual!!!
It is hard to say what is so good about this series of books, things must speak to my inner child but I loved reading this.
The cast is fantastic, Cinder and Iko return and are great, Iko is bigger and better than ever.
New characters Scarlet and Wolf were also good fun.
And best of all Captain Thorne, had me laughing so much each time he said something.
The story is good and really well written, just sad that this book is over...Luckily there is another one. Just gotta pace myself and not read it too soon.

I flip flopped a lot on how great this book was. That is until the ending. The ending solidified it as a great book.
That being said, it needs more cinder!
Now I gotta wait a whole year for the next one :(
