Cress
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.

Marissa Meyer! I simply adore your writing. With your third (THIRD!) installment I was again swept away by your world and your characters and all the craziness happening to them. Four books? You mean this is a FOUR book series instead of a trilogy? Oh YES please. (I knew this previous to reading Cress. If I hadn't, MAYBE I wouldn't be so happy about the 4th book.) I love Cinder, still, and the cast of characters surrounding her continues to get better and better. Iko and Thorne and Cress oh my! Fun characters. But despite this being the third (THIRD!) book, the plot still (STILL!) progresses. I KNOW. Amazing. Plots progress, characters grow, crazy shenanigans take place - I just simply love this series. It's rare for me to love subsequent books even more than I enjoyed the first offering, but this series definitely succeedsin improving each time. Can't wait to delve into the craziness that will be Winter.
Mom note: As
a mother of readers, I also
want to make a note to myself (and others if they care) why I would or
would not have my children read this book, because honestly, sometimes I
forget. This is a YA book, so everything is within YA strictures.
Violence: moderate; Profanity: none; Sex: none
