"Marissa Meyer’s debut, Cinder, retold Cinderella with a resourceful cyborg mechanic who left her foot on the palace stairs. I wasn’t sure how I felt about adding Little Red Riding Hood to the mix, but Scarlet won me over within a chapter. Meyer’s mashup of fairytales with science fictional worldbuilding works its magic again, with French Scarlet searching frantically for her grandmother — with the help of a bio-engineered big bad Wolf, of course."
