Review: Cress by Marissa Meyer

In this third book in the Lunar Chronicles, 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 her army. 

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 hacker. Unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice. 

When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.



Genre: YA, fairy tail retelling, dystopian.

Cover Love: Love that hair!

Overview:

This book was amazing. I love this series, and the last book comes out next year and I think I will cry when it does come out. This world is amazing, and I love all the characters! In this book, a lot of the characters get separated from each other, so we get lots of different POV's in different places. We get to see more of Captain Thorne, and Kai, and of course....Cress. Cress is nervous and not very socialized, but she's adorable. She's basically Rapunzel, and Marissa does the best jobs of retellings! Since I know Rapunzel's story really well. (Not the Tangled version, mind you.) This book was great! READ THIS SERIES.

Romance:

Kai and Cinder are separated at this time, so nothing from them. Same for Scarlet and Wolf. The only romance is between Cress and Thorne, which is non existent through most of the book. And when it does come, it's perfectly fine. These books are just so sweet. *Giggles*

Language:

Nope, nothing. Ziltch. Nada.

Violence:

This is basically worlds at war, so there's some shooting. and some knives, and some blood. But not over the top kind of violence.

Religion:

Not really.


I loved this book, and it kept me turning the pages and wanting to read more, and risk being exhausted the next day. I haven't read such a good series in a very long time, and I was excited to have found it. Please read this series, it's amazing.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars!
