A prequel to the Lunar Chronicles, showing a young Scarlet and how Princess Selene came into the care of Michelle Benoit.

I read this after reading Cinder, and although I am slowly reading the series in order, I’m kind of glad that I read it after reading Cinder. This short story tells the tale of how Cinder became a Cyborg and how she was saved from Levanna’s evil reign. It also gives insight into the world of Lunar and how the Earthlings of this world deal with it.

Not only did The Keeper introduce Cinder’s first years on earth, it also told the story of how Scarlet came to live with her Grandmother. And I can’t wait to see how she has transformed into an adult when I actually get to reading her novel…
