Thank you Scarlet for getting me out of my reading slump! 
 I really enjoyed Cinder, but this was so much better. I loved all the new characters and Scarlet and Wolf's relationship was something I was behind straight away. Also, is it just me or is Cinder's and Thorne's friendship both hilarious and awesome? There were still a few predictable moments, but I found myself surprised and gasping more than I had with Cinder. The changed POVs worked because I was actually interested in all the characters and what they were doing. I'm getting very into this series and can't wait to start Cress!
