"When she was jut a child, the witch locked her away in a tower that had neither doors nor stairs." BEFORE READING:Cinder?...and Rapunzel?...in a desert?...in 2014? Can life get any more depressing?!?!?! It sounds so interesting but also sooooo far away! I just read Scarlet and now I have to wait a whole year!!!!It's like....(was that the perfect gif or what?)Oh and Scarlet and Wolf better be there too or I'll just...I'll just: EXPLODE! In the mean time....UPDATE!!!!!The cover for th

***BEFORE READINGOH. MY. GOD I THINK I HAVE MADE A MIRACULOUS DISCOVERY! So, I was re-reading Cinder when I came upon the part where Dr. Erland is explaining why he hates the Queen so much and it's because his daughter-who is a shell- was supposedly murdered by the Queen. His daughters name is Crescent Moon. CRESCENT MOON. CRESCENT SHORT FOR CRESS BY ANY CHANCE !That was not my only discovery but, we all know that the 4th book called Winter will be about Snow White. Does anyone else remember in

“Have you given any thought to your wedding vows?” Kai snorted. “Delete anything that has to do with love, respect, or joy, and I’ll sign on the dotted line.” 3 1/2 stars. After I finally gave in and read Scarlet recently, people have been urging me to read Cress. I can see why - this book is so so much fun.Firstly, I have to say that Meyer has really worked on her pacing since the days of Cinder (which I personally found really boring). This book zips along from action scene, to discovery, t

FAVE.May or may not be because of Thorne.(It totally is.)

MY LONGEST YEAH BOI EVER.This review only really needs to be two sentences long. Here are those sentences:1) This book has Cress.2) This book has Thorne.End review.As everyone knows because I never shut up about it for even one second, I don’t love characters very often. It just takes a lot for me to be Interested. But these two...these two.I am a currently living human being (hard as that may be to believe), and that means I love heists. If there is a better trope than the heist plotline, I kno...

“Even in the Future the Story Begins with Once Upon a Time.” Once Upon a Time, there was an avid reader (let's call her Teri) who lived and breathed words. When she was sad, she bought a book to cheer her up. When she was happy or successful, she bought a book to celebrate. When she was worried, she bought a book to forget her problems. One cold winter's night, she found herself in a magical place known as the Bookstore. A place full of wonders and fairydust, a safe haven from a world

Maybe great, epic romances don't just happen. We have to make them ourselves. Fun, lighthearted and delightful. I absolutely love how each book in this series is better than the last! As with the previous two, we have a fairytale themed futuristic dystopian adventure. While each book follows a different couple, we get to catch up on the previous ones and get hints at the new. This one focuses on Cress (Rapunzel). She's a "Shell" (a Lunar who is immune to Lunar glamours). She's spen

This is my 100th book of 2013 and it was magnificent. NEED. WINTER. NOW. When I first jumped on the Lunar Chronicles bandwagon, I was late to the party. I tend to avoid any novel in the blogosphere that is garnering a ton of hype, due to past experiences where the hype completely killed my enjoyment. However, I dove into Cinder trepidatiously and came out completely in love, mostly thanks to the sweet nostalgia feelings from the cleverly added Sailor Moon references. And if that wasn’t clear bef...

Yep. It definitely got better.This was my favorite of the Lunar Chronicles. It was so sweet and personal, while keeping up the action-packed plot. Each time Thorne and Cress popped up, I devoured every word. They're my cinnamon rolls. I had one big problem, however.Wolf. I hate him. He spent a good chunk of this book unconscious, which I felt was deserved. And then, when he wakes up, he has a temper tantrum because "his alpha was missing," he rips his stitches, and he puts Princess Selene in a c...

**4.5-stars rounded up**We have lift off!!! It's official. I am over the moon for The Lunar Chronicles!!In Cress, the third installment, we find our favorite fugitives, Cinder, Thorne, Scarlet and Wolf, on the run. Thus far, they have been able to evade all authorities as they travel through space. This comes as a surprise to everyone, most of all, them.Their best hope for a full escape, however, lies with a girl they have never met.Cress is a captive on a satellite orbiting Earth. Unbeknownst t...

I’m on BookTube now! =)”Kiss her, she thought. Isn’t that what people did after they survived thrilling, near-death experiences together? She was sure it wasn’t an appropriate suggestion, but this close, it was all she could think about.” Ahh, Cress is such a romantic! <3 The way she swooned over Thorne was just adorable! But let’s not get off topic here and focus on the overall review instead! This said “Cress” was already the third book in “The Lunar Chronicles” and basically everybody and the...

Third Read Review: This reread was such a nostalgic one for me. I still remember that I read this book for the first time when I was 16. And now, I’m 21 years old. What surprises me is that 5 years has passed, and I still enjoy reading it. wow. This series honestly gets better with each of its sequels. The way Meyer weaves the plot inside of the book is just splendid. The characters are also amazing and so different from one another. I’m pretty sure that if there are some lines and I’m expec

"Sweet Crescent Moon, Up in the sky, You sing your song so sweetly, After sunshine passes by." Stars above, this was one heck of a bookI'll be honest, I can't think of a proper way to start this review other than saying that i really enjoyed this book (what a surprise). In fact, i enjoyed it so much that i can't find the words to describe my love for it, and for the lunar chronicles as a whole. But I think it's safe to say by now, that this is my absolute favorite series of all times.

this is the series that just keeps on giving and i couldnt be more blessed. this book was a different reading experience for me than the previous two in that i knew nothing about the story of rapunzel. im familiar with cinderella and little red riding hood, so it was easy to follow along with those loose retellings, but this book felt like a completely new story to me. and it was quite refreshing not having those expectations going into this.however, i was a little worried this installment would...

Re-Read on Audio. Still awesome and still loving this narrator. Beautiful fan art of Thorne and Cress ↓ "Captain?""Yeah?""Do you think it was destiny that brought us together?""No. I'm pretty sure it was Cinder." **Older Review**Wow!! I just finished Cress!! These books aways end with me thinking "You Didn't Just Stop There" !!! I loved meeting the new member of the storyline, Cresent Moon. What a beautiful name! Cress for short. I can't believe she lived on that satellite for so long! The Lun...

Anything I say about this book is going to do it an injustice. It was pure, it was good, it was heartbreaking and it was they most enjoyable read I have had in a long time.So basically what you should do is take everything I say and just times it by a big fat ten. Holy crap, okay. So the book starts out with a big bang.The gang (you know, Cinder, Scarlet, Wolf, Thorne and Iko) contacts Cress and realize she is a huge asset to their team because A: She's the one that has been hiding their spacesh...
