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 loved this book the first time a read it, And I loved it even more this reread. The intertwining of storylines, the introduction of new perspectives, the way puzzle pieces fit together perfectly to set up the last book. Cress’s story, though she’s been involved since the first book, is really the story that needed to be included to step up the last book. But not only did it set up the plot lines, but it also set up so much character development giving each character their final motivation for the last story. Simply my favorite in the series. ( )

Well. It looks like I finally read Cress. After picking up (and surprisingly enjoying) Cinder and Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, I wanted to give her another shot to see if the The Lunar Chronicles continued to impress me. I glanced at the blurb, making it seem intriguing and a book that would suit my tastes. When I closed the final page, it was enjoyable.
It starts with the titular character, Cress, living in a satellite orbiting Earth in the opening pages. She lives there for a while before eventually she has to visit Earth to meet characters from the previous two instalments, Cinder and Scarlet. The opening pages and the middle are slow as usual, but it's typical from the author to do this, and I expected a slow-burn start anyways based on other books I've read from her. The action builds toward the last 200 pages as Cress is told to stop Cinder and Scarlet from forcing Queen Levana to abdicate, but fortunately, the plan does not go as intended. I like most aspects about Cress, but I can't believe I have to wait one more book until the characters put the plan into action. At least the characters were likable. The conclusion finishes Cress on a cliffhanger, with some bonus reading material added afterward, including a sneak peak of Winter.( )
Just seems to get better with every book. I enjoy how different the female characters are and how they are kicked in their way. Cress is no exception to this. I loved Cress' excitement and found it refreshing that she did not consistently cry about her life thus far. I loved that Cress was a techie. I didn't expect to love her character as much as I did.
