She has zero forethought and her supposed "bravery" comes off as idiotic and rash.

In book 1 Marissa Meyer took one of our beloved fairy tales and turned it into an intriguing sci-fi set into a future with cyborgs and Lunar inhabitants. What did you like best about Scarlet? What did you like least? ![]()
