Hello, friends! I hope y'all are anticipating the third Lunar Chronicles novel. It is by far my favorite of the series. The stakes are raised a lot, the plot threaded with several twists and turns, and Meyer handles the subplots and main plot quite well. Cress is a great heroine, and the romance between her and Thorne is as funny as it is sweet. Here's my review of this book, and get excited because I'm giving away my ARC! (International, ends 01/29).
Cress (Lunar Chronicles #3) by Marissa Meyer - Goodreads | Purchase
Rapunzel’s tower is a satellite. She can’t let down her hair—or her guard.
In this third book in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army.
Their best hope lies with Cress, who has been trapped on a satellite since childhood with only her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker—unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.
When a daring rescue goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing stop her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only ones who can.
I'm working my way through this series and already love it! Anything fairy tale related and I have to read it!

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
What aren't I excited for about this book? I read and liked Cinder, really loved Scarlet, and then read a short sample of Cress and fell in love. I am really excited to see how the plot thickens in this installment, and how exactly Cinder and the gang can keep their planet safe from the Lunars.
ReplyDeleteI love that her books are fairytale retellings, and I can't wait to read this one. :D
ReplyDeleteI loved the first two books so I am really excited to read Cress! Additionally, the covers are AMAZING! :0)

ReplyDeleteThe Lunar Chronicles is one of my fave series at the moment, since I love anything and everything to do with fairytale retellings. I loved the first two novels, so I can't wait to get my hands on Cress!
ReplyDeleteI'm getting ready to read book 2 and I love this series! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThe Lunar Chronicles is actually one of those series I highly regret starting before the whole series is out. Because of this, I refuse to read book 2 until I have book 3 in my hands. Book 1 had so many twists and turns and left me with so many questions (which I love) that I cannot justify torturing myself with book 2 when book 3 is not here for me to read immediately after.
ReplyDeleteI love the fairytale aspect.
ReplyDeleteI loved Cinder and Scarlet so I'm super excited to read Cress, especially since I've heard such good things about it : )
ReplyDeleteRAPUNZEL! I love reading any retellings of my favorite princess stories!
ReplyDeleteCress and Thorne <333333

ReplyDeleteI've read the first two and I thought they were amazing and inventive re-tellings! I've been disappointed with Rapunzel stories before, but I'm sure Cress will be awesome.
ReplyDeleteI adore the world Marissa Meyer has created! And I loved the Cinder and Scarlet :) So excited for more!
ReplyDeleteThanks for making this international!
ReplyDeleteThe thing I'm most excited about when it comes to Cress is simply more Lunar Chronicles. I love everything about this series and I can't wait to see where the plot goes in Cress and read about the gang and learn more about the world!
