The audiobook was great. Scarlet continues right where Cinder leaves off. Scarlet's incessant and non-logical need to find her grandmother NO MATTER WHAT, really pissed me off. Can we have a plan?! Can we think things through before we act. Other than the inane reasoning, I enjoyed Scarlet's ability to care for others and herself. I enjoyed Wolf's character, and I (truly) did enjoy Captian Thorne (for comedic relief). I'm excited to meet them again in Cress . I was suprised that Cinder went from being a scared girl to a badass warrior in the span of 10 hours? While I know she got a physical upgrade, how would that have changed her mindset so quickly?? I did not think that was reasonble.
