![]() Scarlet was close to perfect – just the first half bothered me a little (and it’s because of me, NOT the book. Before I started Scarlet, I was hoping for a sexy, dark and mysterious character, and did Wolf claim my heart! Again, he’s become one of my all time favourite characters! His brooding aura and those eyes *sigh*. So I’ve had high expectations going into Scarlet and meeting this ‘Wolf’ character. Back when I was new to Bookstagram (about 2 years ago), Wolf’s name was EVERYWHERE. Also, she reminds me a lot of Sansa Stark. I also didn’t particularly liked Scarlet at first BUT she’s grown to be so freaking badass and hilarious and bright that she’s become one of my faaavourite characters. I still wasn’t sober after Cinder so it took me some time to gather my emotions back together. Sooo going to Scarlet, I had a bit of trouble reading the first half of it, not going to lie. That was how attached I was to the characters and the world, and that was only the first book! Their resemblances are uncanny!Ĭinder ended at a massive cliff-hanger which left me sobbing real hard. Am I the only one who imagines Kai as EXO’s Kai? For those of you who aren’t familiar with EXO, they’re a popular Korean Boy Band consisting of 9 members and the face of the group is Kai, and just like Prince Kai, he’s good-looking, kindhearted and is dominating the world at a very young age whilst capturing the hearts of the many die-hard fangirls…. Then there’s Prince Kaito… oh, this lovely human being. But seriously, Adri and Pearl were just… UGH! I was holding onto my dagger ready to plunge the blade into someone’s chest (I’M KIDDING). I think what it fast-paced was the overflowing drama and conflict between the protagonist and antagonist. So Cinder started off a bit slow but it picks up REALLY quickly. It builds up the adrenaline from the start and surges throughout the whole ride, and what a thrilling ride it was. Only then are you allowed to judge the way you feel about it. A book should be just as good as any other if you actually made the effort of finishing it. But you can’t help it – and no one can blame you for doing so. Trust me, there were times where I’d read the first paragraph of a book, went ‘NOPE’, and went on to burying it deep under my TBR pile. Okay, I’m a hypocrite for saying that we shouldn’t judge how good or bad a book is by their first few pages, because I do that all the time. I don’t know what made me hooked the second time I picked it up, maybe it’s cause I actually read on and waited for everything to finally pick up. might give it another try’ or ‘a Sci-Fi retelling of Cinderella? Seems a tad bit odd don’t you think? And honestly, I felt the exact same way. I’ve seen people everywhere going ‘didn’t finish Cinder. Picked it the second time, changed my whole life. Picked this book up once, wasn’t interested. So let’s start from the very beginning – Cinder. this perfectly crafted world that is Luna. I can go on and on reading about these characters and this. WHY did it have to end so quickly? There should be NO end to this story. WHY did it take me THIS long to start this series? Actually, no, I take that back. ![]() Can Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter defeat Levana and find their happily ever afters?įans will not want to miss this thrilling final installment in the national bestselling Lunar Chronicles series.Okay.
