 Scarlet is not Cinder. They have different motives and Cinder keeps quiet where Scarlet shares. So many times you read sequels with identical leads and it gets so repetitive. Not so here; each character has a different set of characteristics and in some cases morals too. 
 I still found myself caring less about Scarlet - despite this being a re-read - but perhaps this is because I'd already spent a whole book with Cinder and Kai and they are just more dear to me. I also found Scarlet less...silly than I remember. She was sensible and reasonable , even if she didn't stop to think sometimes - perhaps she knew she wouldn't like the answer so she refused to even think about it because she couldn't face it. 
 I brought it up last time, but I need to bring it up again. What's with writers making curly haired characters comb or brush their hair to neaten it?! Have you ever seen curly hair brushed? This is something like what we're dealing with right here 
 Tidy, huh? This is what Scarlet's hair would have looked like after she 'tidied' it. Only red.... 
 I hope she and Wolf get to go back to the farm in the end. It sounded like a lovely place to retire to after having multiple adventures - her grandma clearly thought so. Plus. tomatoes! 
 Speaking of Wolf...I do like wolfy men!! Honourable emperors are pretty good too. Not so partial to arrogant ship thieves however...I can't remember if Thorne grew on me like scarlet did or not. I guess I'll find out.

 Not gonna lie, I dropped Cinder and picked up Scarlet and read the first line and thought "I don't care about this person! What's going on?" Clearly when I had firstly assumed each book was about a different story line I had been correct, right? Wrong! Mostly. The story did continue where Cinder left off, but first we had to catch up on the life of the books' namesake. I felt a lot happier when I checked the book description and learnt that Cinder and Scarlet were going to team up, cause I hadn't read that before...(I don't like to know what happens in a sequel until I've read the first one). 
 Once I got over all that however, I was just as fixated at I was reading Cinder. I felt like I was less interested in Scarlet than I had been in Cinder but I still burnt through this book pretty quickly. 
 One thing though, if Scarlets hair was curly, there would have been no combing going on!! (I protest this every time I come across it as a person with a head full of curls)
