Yep, girl in the satellite was a PERFECT Rapunzel adaptation. As I mentioned, Rapunzel is NOT a fairy tale I'm a fan of, so I loved how FAST they got Cress out of the satellite. I think she was out at about a fourth of the way through the book? I liked that.
SCARLETT. OH GOD. IT WAS AWFUL AND BRUTAL AND GOOD LORD.
That was so hard. I am impressed and kind of pleased that the author went there, and how both Scarlett as herself and the skills that Scarlett had were missed.
Every time I think about the "alpha" conversation, I die. In the good way. But the dead way. ;)
