“When she was just a child, the witch locked her away in a tower that had neither doors nor stairs.” Guys, I can’t give out another five star rating this year. I just can’t. But I almost did with this anyway. It was THISCLOSE. I’m going with 4.5 stars for now, but I reserve the right to change my mind upon re-read. I just really really enjoyed myself while reading this, probably more than I should have. Cress, the third volume of The Lunar Chronicles, is […]
Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair
While it took me a long time to actually start this series, I was quickly sucked up in it, and have been looking forward to this third release of The Lunar Chronicles.

Really, you don’t want to be reading this review – it’s going to contain spoilers about the first book. Continue reading if you don’t mind, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. Scarlet Benoit needs to find her grandmother, who disappeared without a trace a few weeks ago. Her ID chip […]
