Cress

By Marissa Meyer

Book Overview

The #1 New York Times Bestselling Series

In this third book in Marissa Meyer's bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, 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 prevent her army from invading Earth.

Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl trapped 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 being forced to work for Queen Levana, and she's just received orders to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.

When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is splintered. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a higher price than she'd ever expected. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai, especially the cyborg mechanic. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.

i tore through this book! i really do enjoy this series so much. i love the creativity and the characters, and i thought that this was a wonderful next part of the lunar chronicles.

Once in a lifetime story.

Usually I don't like YA books, but this series is something special. Great job all around.

New secrets and new characters!!

Cinder (Cinderella) and Scarlet (Little Red Riding Hood) join up with Cress (Rapunzel), who has been hacking and spying on Earth for Queen Levana. All the characters blend well and their individual stories along with the secrets revealed keep you invested in the book. A great read in the series.
