Feiwel and Friends
560 pp.
Ages 12- 17
In this third
book in Marissa Meyer's bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and
Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet and Wolf in
tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and prevent
her army from invading Earth.
Their best hope lies with Cress, a
girl trapped on a satellite since childhood who’s only ever had her
netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent
hacker. Unfortunately, she’s being forced to work for Queen Levana, and
she’s just received orders to track down Cinder and her handsome
accomplice.
When a daring rescue of Cress
goes awry, the group is splintered. Cress finally has her freedom, but
it comes at a higher price than she’d ever expected. Meanwhile, Queen
Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai, especially
the cyborg mechanic. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up
to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.
MY REVIEW:
Can I just say how much I love The Lunar Chronicles??? Well, I do. I love it! Every book gets better and better. I don't know who I'm in love with more, Kai the crown prince of the Commonwealth, Wolf the hybrid lunar guard, or Thorn the Hans Solo-esque rogue. Swoon!
If you haven't read Cinder or its sequel, Scarlett, yet you are totally missing out. Action-packed, romantic, and funny as all get out! This is one series that should be read by absolutely EVERYBODY!!! Read it! Now! I'm just frustrated that I have to wait a whole year for book IV - Winter!!! Argh!
CONTENT RATING:
Profanity: None
Violence: Moderate
Sexuality: Milde
I am TOTALLY hooked on this series. I'm a crazy fairy tale fan in the first place, and the sense of originality coupled with sci-fi in the Lunar Chronicles has me riveted. I will die a slow death of sorrow until the next book comes out.

ReplyDeleteLet me know what you think when you're done.
DeleteI think I'm the only one left on the planet that hasn't read this series. I'm also a retelling fanatic, so I'm sure I would love it. I'll definitely be checking this out, but starting with Cinder, of course. Thanks so much for featuring it!
