WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD WOLF?? (Hint: Me) ("The Lunar Chronicles: Scarlet" Part 2)

IT'S DISCUSSION TIME LET'S ALL SIT IN A CIRCLE and here is the standard warning that I may or may not be a big ole spoiler machine. Okay here we goooooooo
The pace of "Scarlet" was much faster than "Cinder" since the first book had a lot of ground work to lay down but it was nice that this one had so much action because of that. Usually characters don't really throw me off but Wolf totally did. I believed him 100% until they got back to the wolf pack headquarters then I was all ????? I had no idea what to think about him anymore. I definitely didn't want to believe that he would just betray Scarlet like that and that he felt nothing for her. Their little intimate scene in the train was so cute but a bit steamy at the same time. I loved it. I also appreciate that the author killed a character that she didn't get the reader attached to like SOME authors ( I'm lookin at you J.K. Rowling and George R.R. Martin) like to do. Although it was still a very sad scene. And omg can we talk about how poor Kai agreed to marry Levana because I am LIVID ABOUT THIS. Like Kai is doing what he thinks he has to do whatever but now he's kind of fucked over the entire planet. She's planning to just take over through becoming Empress of the Eastern commonwealth first and who the fuck knows what she's going to do after that. I hope he doesn't have to go through with it PLEASE DON'T DO IT KAI
Sigh okay I can't wait to read the third book yaaaaaaaayyyyy good series so excite
And next in the Lunar Chronicles "Cress" (duh)

It's about time. ("The Lunar Chronicles: Scarlet" Part 1)

For whatever reason I am DRAGGING this book out and it can't be helped. But I am finally halfway through "Scarlet" so let's discuss. (P.S. standard warning about spoilers that may or may not be in this post so you won't hate me)
I love Scarlet's spunk, although I find it to be a bit naive. But it is nice to see a strong female character who (at least thinks she) can do anything she puts her mind to. And OMFG I was so curious to see how the story line with Scarlet and all that's going on with Cinder was going to connect and I just got through that part and things are about to get super interesting.  Also I really love Thorne he's so damn charming. I do miss Kai I'm hoping there will be more of him in this second half of the book. And GOD BLESS IKO IS BACK I MISSED YOU GIRL
In summation: I'm loving these woven tales. Very intrigue.
