"An interesting mash up of fairy tales and science fiction . . . a cross between Cinderella, Terminator, and Star Wars." —Entertainment Weeklyon the Lunar Chronicles
She splayed her fingers on the back of the ship, annoyed at how her nerves were humming, like they couldn’t decide if she should be afraid of him or flattered.
Scarlet Benoit's grandmother is missing. It turns out there are many things Scarlet doesn't know about her grandmother, or 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 is loath to trust this stranger, but is inexplicably drawn to him, and he to her.
Halfway around the world, Cinder is back and trying to break out of prison—even though she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive if she does.
As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana.
The adventure continues in this fresh fairytale retelling that combines elements of Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood.

Thoroughly enjoyable
"I quite enjoyed this book. I really liked how we switched between the different groups following Cinder, Scarlet, and occasionally Kai and queen Lavana. The romance aspect between Scarlet and Wolf was handled decently, and I liked the wolf nature reasoning to explain why Wolf was able to reject the Thaumaturge’s control. I enjoyed learning more about what happened to Cinder, and Queen Lavana having operatives on the earth was not surprising for here, and I thought it was handled really well. I liked the touch of them being wolves because of the connection to the moon. I am excited to see what happens next."
