I recently started the book
Scarlet written by Marissa Meyer this book is the second one in the Lunar Chronicles. It follows the acclaimed book
Cinder. Each book is loosely based on the tales of princesses and their journeys but it is set in the future where things are very different. In
Cinder the main character is based on Cinderella but Cinder is part human part robot which makes things a little more complicated and she does find her prince charming and she also goes to the ball. But there are many more struggles that she has to deal with, more than Cinderella.
After starting Scarlet I have come to the realization that Scarlet is Little Red Riding Hood who is searching for her grandmother. The twist is that she seeks help from Wolf who is a street fighter who she meets along the way. From the back cover of the book I predict that Cinder will help Scarlet find her grandmother and Scarlet will help Cinder by taking Prince Kai from the Lunar Queen. I am very interested in finding out if what I predict will become true.

ReplyDeleteThis series sounds really interesting! I wonder how the author got the idea for these books?
ReplyDeleteI like how the book is an interesting spin-off of Cinderella. It is really intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI love the books that put a spin on old fairy tales! I'm actually watching the TV Once Upon A Time now, which puts a new story with every fairy tale character. I've seen this book in stores a lot, but i wasn't sure if it would be worth reading. Would you suggest the series?
ReplyDeleteLike India, the first thing I thought of when I read this was Once Upon a Time. Modern day things- like robots incooperated with fairy tales. Honestly, I'm jealous that I didn't think of it first. I'll have to look into reading this!
ReplyDeleteThis looks really interesting, I can't wait to start reading this book myself!!!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of an "older kid" Red Riding Hood, but this definately sounds interesting. I enjoy fantasy and will be chacking on your blog to see how it sounds!
ReplyDeleteIt seems odd that Cinder is part robot; that's a very creative deatil from the author! I have also read a book with somewhat twisted fairy tale plot, and it was very good! I also really liked your visual you included with your book! It really helps to envision the characters and story! Nice blog!(:
