Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl imprisoned on a satellite since childhood who's only ever had her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent (more)
My favorite Quote:
“Captain?"
"Yeah?"
"Do you think it was destiny that brought us together?"
He squinted and, after a thoughtful moment, shook his head. "No. I'm pretty sure it was Cinder.”
My review: AWESOME. INCREDIBLE. BREATHTAKING. WONDERFUL. NON-STOP ACTION. I can't put into words how much I love this series and book. This book literally had me fan-girling.
Let me one of the first to say that The Lunar Chronicles is one of my favorite YA Science Fiction series of all time. More than the complex and detailed writing and the awesome characters, the book has what I deem is the most important... heart. By "heart", I mean it has that amazing ability to reel you in and lets you experience the world and the emotions the characters in the most remarkably spectacular way. I am not saying the series does not have its flaws, but the over all amazingness of this book makes up for any and all flaws.
One of the many fantastic things about The Lunar Chronicles are even though it's retelling of well known fairy tales we grew up to and we fondly love. They are refreshing, totally different and there's always something new to offer and some twist you didn't see coming.
Just to make it clear, I adore the world that Marissa Meyer has built. Cress is one of those books that I'm glad is 500+ pages long because I love being in Marissa Meyer's world again and I want it to last forever. The way each of her books build upon the last is simply put: masterful and pure genius.
Cress, is a story initially centered on Meyer's Rapunzel. Cress is locked in a satellite (see what she did there) where she has been forced to use her considerable hacker skills to assist Queen Levana in many of her evil plots. However, secretly Cress has long been assisting Cinder and the rest of her band of fugitives. As Cress begins, their worlds are about to collide in the most devastating way possible.
