Teaser Tuesday: Scarlet by Marissa Meyer
April 09, 2013
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
•Grab your current read
•Open to a random page
•Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
•BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
•Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
This week I'm reading the second book in The Lunar Chronicles, Scarlet by Marissa Meyer. I loved the first book, but find I'm having a little trouble getting into this one. I think it's because there's a whole new set of characters and a new story, so rather than just jump back into the story started in Cinder, I have to figure out who these new people are and what they have to do with anything. The previous characters are in here, too, and somehow the two stories will meet - at least I'm guessing that's the plan, but so far I can't see it. It's still quite an adventure, though, and here are my teasers from page 38 on my nook:
Frustrated tears were beginning to sting her eyes and Scarlet tilted her head back, gulping down patient breaths. Her worst fears, those sneaking, horrible suspicsions were true.
Her grandmother had been kidnapped.
