In the second installment of the Lunar Chronicles, Cinder the cyborg, the Eastern Commonwealth’s most wanted fugitive, is attempting to break out of prison. At the same time, in a different country, Scarlet Benoit’s grandmother goes missing. While trying to find leads on her grandmother’s disappearance, Scarlet is introduced to Wolf: a street fighter who may have important information. As Scarlet and Wolf unravel their mystery, their paths cross with Cinder and Carswell Thorne, a pilot who escaped prison with her. All four of them will need to come together to stop the evil Lunar queen Levana, who will do anything and everything to make planet Earth her own.
I enjoyed the second book in the Lunar Chronicles almost as much as the first. All of the new characters were extremely intriguing, and the way their stories intertwine is brilliant. The numerous plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. The book had just enough suspense to keep me wondering while it built up wonderful relationships between the characters. I would recommend this book to kids and teens that enjoy stories filled with action, suspense, and a little bit of romance.
