Marissa Meyer - Scarlet

WAMC Northeast Public Radio
Published February 15, 2013 at 10:30 AM EST

When Marissa Meyer created the fairytale Lunar Chronicles with her first book Cinder – an android version of Cinderella destined to overthrow the evil queen in a sci-fi society, she blew readers away. Now she’s finished the second book, Scarlet, and we travel from New Beijing to France where our Red Riding Hood is on a desperate search for her Grandmother, the Big Bad Wolf, is big, bad and hot, and everyone is vulnerable to the Lunars.
