What a great series! I liked this book better than the first. 
 Set in France, Scarlet is a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Scarlet (who wears a red hoodie) is looking for her grandmother, who has gone missing. With the help of the enigmatic street fighter, Wolf, Scarlet must travel to Paris to try and rescue her grandmother. But can Scarlet trust Wolf? 
 Meanwhile, Cinder (from the first book) escapes from jail and is on the run with another inmate. The Lunar Queen threatens war and Prince Kai must do whatever he can to avoid that. Cinder needs to find clues as to what happened to her childhood and the person who has those answers is Scarlet's grandmother. But will Scarlet or Cinder be able to find her before it's too late? 
 I liked Scarlet (the character) so much better than Cinder. She's must nicer, not as prickly as Cinder. And while I do like Kai, I really love Wolf. I've always liked the animals, so his personality just makes sense for me. And since he and Scarlet are older, their romance is a little less PG than Kai and Cinder's. More mature. 
 Great novel, can't wait for number three!
