Why I Picked ItI've been working through the Lunar Chronicles and have been loving it. The series just keeps improving. I already can't wait to read Winter and the two novellas that go with the series! SummaryCress is a retelling of Rapunzel. Think: Rapunzel in space. It's pretty neat. Cress is trapped up in her satellite, trying to help Cinder and her friends to overthrow Levana, the wicked queen of Luna. She has these grand dreams of how the group will save her and they will all win over Levana, and she will fall in love with Captain Thorne and…let's just say reality hits her pretty hard. what I likedI love Cress. She's such a perfect character. She's a little nutty, but who can blame her when she normally only ever had contact with one or two Lunars every couple of weeks when they came to drop off supplies. Otherwise, for most of her life she had grown up alone, coding and hacking and obsessing over Earthen dramas (though secretly. Her mistress wouldn't approve if she knew). It's awesome how she has all these grand dreams of what Earth and the outside world are like, and she soon realizes that it's not at all like the dramas. I also love that she has to play a part once in a while to calm herself down. She has to pretend she's a different person in a different situation in order to keep control. I also love Jacin, a new Lunar character. He's interesting, and I can't wait to learn more about him in Winter! All of the characters just keep developing, and connections keep being made. I love seeing a soft side to Captain Thorne, I still love Wolfe with all my heart. And seeing another side to Cinder has been interesting too. I think Meyer did a great job in retelling the story of Rapunzel. It was enough alike that you could definitely tell what story it is, but it's different enough that it's totally new and intriguing. what I didn't likeCan I say that I didn't like the fact that Scarlet wasn't in this book as much as I wanted? Will that work? Even though I really like where the story is going because of that, and it gave a good intro to Winter, I still wish Scarlet would have been a bigger part of the book. That's the worst part about bringing all these stories together, I think. It's hard to give the characters enough time yet still get the other storylines tied in. overall impression 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟5/5 stars. This one finally got me. I was trying to play hard to get, but Cress was just so good! I couldn't give this only 4/5 stars. Marissa Meyer just keeps improving the whole series and storyline and everything! I want this series to continue forever, though I'm starting to see the end get closer. I just plan to savor the last novel and couple of novellas!
