3.5 I thought this book was better than the last installment. However, the writing still feels a bit juvenile to me. Cress and Thorne were by far the most interesting of the pairings. Cress lost me a bit though when she started judging the doctor, the guard, and Wolf for their deeds. It was hypoc...
IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISH READ CINDER YET, PLEASE DON'T READ THIS REVIEW.I read first Cinder, later Scarlet and I already finished Glitches. (Yes, I'm a little late with the short stories)When Peony died, it was a very emotional moment in Cinder BUT and to be honest it didn't hurt too much for me bec...
Interesting short story that introduces Z, a main player in Scarlet the sequel to Cinder. I found Z to be a bit too brooding and mopey but I guess this was the point of the story, I did however enjoy the background to the pack and the idea of these soldiers in the queen's army. It's world buildin...
This was a take on the twisted fairy tale plots that Marissa Meyer is famous for in her "Cinder" series. The tale sort of followed the storyline of "The Little Mermaid." Mech6.0 is an android who goes to Cinder for help in getting a new body after she is discovered to have too many emotions. She ...
I read this before the second book of the series. And I can say after reading all the reviews of Scarlet and The Queen’s Army, I have a different expectations upon reading this.First of all, I thought this was just a short side-track from the whole Lunar Chronicles plot. That maybe this novella w...
Love I love novellas. This one was an awesome look into Wolf's life and experiences.
I've heard so many good things about Marissa Meyer's "The Lunar Chronicles" series, so I decided that before I ran out to buy Cinder I would read this novella to see if I like it. I am definitely putting Cinder on my Christmas List this year. I can not wait to get into the world again. I don't...
This was a short novella showing Cinder's experience when she first came into the Linh household. Unfortunately, the father caught the incurable sickness and she was left with her stepmother and two stepsisters. Her stepmother and one stepsister, Pearl, showed obvious distaste for her right from ...
Really interesting short story that shows what really happened with Thorne and Kate Fallow. I love Thorne and loved how this story show how he was when he was younger, and gives insights into his personality in the current books. Really fun read and really glad I got the chance to read it! The Lu...
Iko had been pestering her all week about what she was and wasn’t going to pack, insisting on a variety of gowns and uncomfortable shoes and rolling her eyes at Cinder’s constant reminders that they would be spending most of this trip on a farm. With cows and chickens and mud. “Just because you’r...
COMM RECEIVED FROM NEW BEIJING DISTRICT 29, LETUMOSIS QUARANTINE. LINH PEONY ENTERED THIRD STAGE OF LETUMOSIS AT 04:57 ON 22 AUG 126 T.E. It took a minute to shake off the grogginess of sleep and make sense of the scrawling words. She opened her eyes to the windowless bedroom and sat up. All he...
She plunked her toes against the shallow puddle that had formed, amazed at how everything about it could be so real—the crackling, the cold—even when she knew it wasn’t. Sighing, she raised her head, weary as she was, to watch the haphazard training sessions happening all down the dusty street. M...
Ran said, lingering beneath the forest canopy. “The scent was simply too enticing to pass up.” His eyes were on Wolf as he said this and the twinkle behind them made Scarlet’s toes curl in her shoes. Grasping the handle of her pistol, she dragged it in toward her hip. “Of course,” Wolf said after...
