Love the covers on these books. Sequel to Cinder, with lunar
werewolves and a fiesty new girl to root for. While I liked the lunar
weres, having read Cinder, their "mystery" was a little on
the obvious side. The deviations from the standard fairy tale were
stronger here, and I felt that the story was a little more adult (torture and
death onscreen rather than off). I'm not overly immersed in the
characters, but I am VERY curious about the world.

Juv fantasy set in a "magical" China-analogue. Really wanted to
like this, but severe flaws in plotting and tone just killed it right off.
