** spoiler alert ** 
 I am possibly the only person here that really disliked Wolf? And Scarlet? And the whole plot line following Scarlet? I couldn't care less about her or him, or their adventures. Also, the whole Wolf thing was far too predictable. And can I mention that falling madly in love with someone who betrays you after you've known them for... what? Two days? Yeah, that's pretty idiotic, Scarlet. 
 Really, I just wanted to get to know Michelle Benouit, but no, that was not to be. We'd be following her snooty and annoying grand-daughter around with her new found were-wolf boy-friend. Yay! 
 On the bright side, I still adore Cinder and what's going on with her. I really, really wish more of the book had been about her. Thorne was amusing. Iko is adorable as always. Every moment spent with those three was enjoyable for me. 
 Kai's journey was also interesting. 
 Scarlet's wasn't, but I think I already said that. I'm also pretty sure that I've mentioned that this book was predictable, right? Kai's announcement in the end, for one. Wolf's betrayal, and then his profession of undying love and his need for an 'alpha female' *gag* was all really obvious. The thing with YA fiction nowadays is that it follows such a formula and things just aren't original anymore. I miss the days when I would pick up a book from the shelf and read it and be blown away by how completely unique it was. I want that again.
