The female leads come from a variety of backgrounds, but are all around resilient and bad-ass. With an amazingly developed world like the one Meyer writes, there’s no telling what to expect!Ī *incoherent mumbling* and cyborg-mechanic? Check!Ī French farm girl with sick defense skills? Check!Ī dreaming hacker who lives in a satellite? Check!Ī slightly mad princess with mind control skills? Check, check, check! Naturally, this can make the plot somewhat predictable, but that doesn’t mean Meyer doesn’t throw some pretty awesome (and justified!) plot twists at you. Not only are the stories interwoven beautifully, but we also get to see how Meyer’s twists on the tales add to the storyline. In The Lunar Chronicles we get to read the stories of Cinder (Cinderella), Scarlet (Little Red Riding Hood), Cress (Rapunzel), and Winter (Snow White). Unfortunately, I can’t write full fledged reviews for the 6 books because the stories aren’t super fresh in my brain, but I can give you guys tons of reasons why you should read them! To tone down my fangirl-ish-ness so you’re not overwhelmed, here’s my top ten! These books by Marissa Meyer are what really brought me from reading MG fiction to YA & started my borderline-unhealthy love for books.
This is a cute and fun read.The Lunar Chronicles is one of my all-time favorite book series. This book worked on multiple levels, tackling the story from many different pieces.
Seeing Cinder as Queen and working towards a better future of Lunar was impressive. Those couples are just precious and I could always use more of them. I love that series and getting to have them also in this book was perfect. Getting to see the cast of TLC again was also fantastic.
She’s an easy heroine to love and cheer on. Iko is funny, witty, and incredibly loyal. I love her personality and love for her friends. I think she totally deserves her own book and doing it as an illustrated book was such a great idea. I loved the way everyone was portrayed and that this story focused on Iko.
Definitely easy enough to read in one sitting and feel wrapped back up in The Lunar Chronicles. Yay for my library having this book because I have been looking for a chance to continue this series! What beautiful artwork and well put together graphics.
