This book is really good. It moves the story of Cinder along and introduces the new character of Scarlet, Wolf and Thorne. 
 We see them journey to France and learn more about what exactly is going on with the Lunars, we have not gone to Africa at the end of this book but I think that is coming. 
 I really like the character of Thorne when we first met him with Cinder I just love that scene and I almost want those two to start a romance (no don't hate on me I know that Cinder is supposed to be with Kai but if I could write fan fiction I would totally have Thorne with cinder). I think Thorne will probably be the love interest for Cress but don't hold that too me I reserve the right to be wrong. 
 Anyways I cannot wait to continue this series and I have one more before the longish wait for Winter (November). Or I could choose to read Fairest if I must have my fix of lunars and such.
