This is a review of all four Lunar Chronicles books: Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter. When I saw Cinder, the first book in the Lunar Chronicles, I was turned off by the cover and description. I hadn’t yet delved into fantasy YA and so I didn’t buy the series. I had a “what the heck was I thinking” moment about a month ago and bought the book. And I inhaled it, and then bought the next book and so forth until I had rapidly inhaled […]
If only I’d read this right after the others
Winter is the conclusion to Marissa Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles and neatly wraps up the story in a tidy little bow, maybe a bit too tidy if I’m honest. I’m not exactly sure what happened here, but I did not enjoy this entry as much as the previous books in this series. I blew through the Lunar Chronicles sometime last year and thought they were excellent YA, but I had been putting of reading this one and ended up skimming through most if it and outright skipping […]
I’m just going to leave these links right here…
I’ve been really anxious and sad when I think of all the great book series (Is there a plural of that? Serieses?) that I started and never completed, all the many stories that I hoped to pick up again and left off after a second, third, fourth book was published. The struggle is real. At the end of last year, I decided to complete one of them: Marissa Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles. I previously read and enjoyed Cinder and Scarlet, then dropped the ball on Cress. […]
You want a revolution, I want a revelation
So this is definitely my favorite of the three Lunar Chronicles novels I’ve read so far (spoiler alert: I started reading Winter, got bored, started reading something else, and then the book was due back at the library, so I still haven’t finished the series. I’m not sure when I’ll get around to it, I just checked out SO MANY NEW BOOKS.) Anyway. Cress! Like Cinder and Scarlet before it, Cress is based on a fairy tale. In this case, Rapunzel, which has always been one […]
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story
I read the first novel in this series, Cinder, quite a bit ago so I apologize if I get some details wrong, or if I accidentally spoil something. But not really, because these books have been out for a while. SO I APOLOGIZE FOR NOTHING. Anyway, spoilers ahead, probably. Cinder, of course, was based on the fairy tale Cinderella. A young woman, Lihn Cinder, works as a mechanic in order to supply her step-mother and step-sisters with money and comfort. She’s also a cyborg, just […]
This Lunar Chronicles short story collection is for hardcore fans and people who wanted an epilogue to Winter.
A fun little book, but some of the stories were weak, and a couple were just schmoopsy fanservice. Hardcore fans will really love this, though. If this collection is anything to judge her by, short stories aren’t really Meyer’s forte. Most of the stories in this collection were just “meh.” The standout stories for me were “The Little Android,” which is her version of The Little Mermaid story, following the Hans Christian Andersen version more than the Disney-fied one. It was well written and sad […]
