SYNOPSIS:
(Courtesy of
Goodreads – No Spoilers!)
In the third
installment of the Lunar chronicles, Cress, having risked everything to warn
Cinder of Queen Levana's evil plan, has a slight problem. She's been imprisoned
on a satellite since childhood and has only ever had her netscreens as company.
All that screen time has made Cress a great hacker. Unfortunately, she's just
received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.
When a daring rescue of Cress involving Cinder, Captain Thorne, Scarlet, and Wolf goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes as a high price. Meanwhile, 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.

REVIEW:
Book Three
is my FAVORITE! Several more characters are added to the different points-of-view
the narrative switches between. I love how they all sound different. This one
adds Cress, a girl trapped in a satellite (symbolizing the fairytale character
Rapunzel.) She is so darn cute, naïve and trusting. I just want to protect her
and not let the cruel world get to her. But she is in smitten with the “bad boy”
Thorne. Their dynamic is hilarious, pitiful and hopeful at the same time.
Marissa
Meyer has stacked an awesome cast, flying around in the Rampion hatching plans
to save the world (which in my imagination is like the Millennium Falcon.) I
love the development of Iko in this book. (No spoilers, I promise.)
RATING:
RECOMMENDATIONS:
There is a
lot of action in this book, but it is less gory than book two, even though the
war is raging. Although the idea of androids who are “escorts” is discussed in
this book—for reasons I won’t spoil. Regardless, I still find it appropriate for
my pre-teens and teens to read.
