Cress book review




CRESS by Marissa Meyer (Book Three of the Lunar Chronicles). Read an excerpt and author interview on USAToday.com!



Title: Cress


Series: The Lunar Chronicles


Number in series: 3


Author: Marissa Meyer



Genre: Young Adult Science Fiction

Plot: Cinder and her friends are trying to find a way to stop Emperor Kai and Queen Levana 's wedding. They come in contact with Cress, a Lunar computer hacker who lives in a satellite. Cress agrees to help them stop the royal wedding in exchange for her freedom.
As Cinder and her friends come up with a dangerous scheme they learn that they"ll each have to make major sacrifices in order to save earth.



My thoughts:
  This is an extremely fast-paced even thought it is over 500 pages. It brought the events that had started in the first two books to a climax, which was exciting.
 
  I think the main thing I liked about this book is that I started to really connect with the characters, especially Carswell Thorne and Wolf, both of whom I  hadn't cared much for in Scarlet.
There are also a few new characters, who I think brought a lot to the story.


There is some content- Several couples kiss and think about when they will be able to kiss each other passionately in the future.
 There is a scene where a blind man walks into a bathroom where a girl is bathing. Nothing happens, but it's awkward.
 There is violence and innuendo throughout the book.

 




My rating: 3

  2. Glad that despite the 500 pages (I wondered about that!), this one moves fast. That is a plus for sure. :)

      Most books that are over 500 pages don't move fast, but I'm so glad this one did:)
