Review
I liked the first one, Cinder, and put a hold for this one at the library. It took me about a month to get it, so I figured I should go ahead and put a hold for the next two already once I got this one.
Rebecca Soler is pretty awesome as a narrator. I am quite fond of her accents and different voices. Also, she helped keep me attentive, even during the less interesting parts... which was a lot of the beginning for me.
As the story continued on, I found myself becoming more drawn in to it and getting more attached to the new characters. I especially liked how everything become connected.
There were a few shocking bits, probably ones I should have expected... especially more toward the end. They definitely kept me focused.
Iko is still my favorite character, even as a ship she is totally the best ever. I'm glad she returned.
I actually liked this one more than Cinder, but not because of the Scarlet/Wolf bits. I found the advancement of the story line and the whole lot less gushy parts to make it more cooler. I look forward to book 3, whenever it's my turn to listen to it.
