Winter by Marissa Meyer Review

"Princess Winter is admired by the Lunar people for her grace and kindness, and despite the scars that mar her face, her beauty is said to be even more breathtaking than that of her stepmother, Queen Levana.

Winter despises her stepmother, and knows Levana won’t approve of her feelings for her childhood friend—the handsome palace guard, Jacin. But Winter isn’t as weak as Levana believes her to be and she’s been undermining her stepmother’s wishes for years. Together with the cyborg mechanic, Cinder, and her allies, Winter might even have the power to launch a revolution and win a war that’s been raging for far too long.

Can Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter defeat Levana and find their happily ever afters?"

Fairest by Marissa Meyer Review

"In this stunning bridge book between Cress and Winter in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles, Queen Levana’s story is finally told.

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Who is the fairest of them all?

Fans of the Lunar Chronicles know Queen Levana as a ruler who uses her “glamour” to gain power. But long before she crossed paths with Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress, Levana lived a very different story – a story that has never been told . . . until now. 

Marissa Meyer spins yet another unforgettable tale about love and war, deceit and death. This extraordinary book includes full-color art and an excerpt from Winter, the next book in the Lunar Chronicles series."

Cress by Marissa Meyer Review

"Rapunzel’s tower is a satellite. She can’t let down her hair—or her guard. 

In this third book in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army. 

Their best hope lies with Cress, who has been trapped on a satellite since childhood with only her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker—unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice. 

When a daring rescue goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing stop her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only ones who can."

I hate airports. I truly hate them. I read Cress for the first two hundred and fifty pages before leaving San Francisco International Airport. It was nice, but I had no copy to finish reading that book. So I bought one off the internet and waited five days so the stupid book would arrive, only to find a damn cliffhanger at the end of the freaking book.

So let me start again.

I hate airports.

Cress is not as good as Scarlet, but it's good. In my opinion, there's just too much going on. It's almost overwhelming. There's three main POV (Scarlet, Cress, and Cinder). Let me tell you what happens to Scarlet. Ignore the rest of the paragraph if you don't want to read spoilers. Scarlet is stuck on the moon, as a prisoner of Queen Levana. Cinder finally reunites with Emperor Kai (heh, about to say Prince). Cress makes up with Thorne. Wolf is brokenhearted. In the end, there's three groups. Princess Winter is with Scarlet. Wolf, Captain Thorne, Cress, Cinder, Emperor Kai, and Iko are together. Only Jacin is alone.

Spoilers are over! You can open your eyes now! One recommendation: Read Cress after Winter is out. It's a long way till next year.

Still, the plot is better than many books. I simply love how Marissa Meyer tells the story of Cress (Rapunzel). She's amazing. I really love how Meyer tells the story of Cinder (Cinderella) and Emperor Kai. I'm so glad I got what I wanted in the end. I won't tell you what I got, but I did get something. (Something worse dancing). 

But it's not the plot or writing we really care about. It's the characters.

Cinder is getting stronger. I love her character development the most. There's a lot of bumps in the road, but hey! Not everyone is perfect. The best part of Cinder is her learning the bad and the goods. She is trying to uphold her morals yet is tempted by the (I assume) same road Queen Levana was offered. 

Scarlet isn't seen as much as Cinder. Her character isn't very developed, but I hope to see a bit more of her in Winter. (Poor Wolf). 

And Cress! Cress and Thorne. Hmm...I don't know about those two. I can't help but feel a little weird. I never thought that Thorne would be kind of like a jerk. Well, a little bit of a jerk. Well, I guess Marissa Meyer really follows the story. Blindness, another lover, a witch. It's a very well set up fairy tale retelling. 

I see a tiny bit of Winter. She's seemingly insane. Actually, she is insane, but I hope Winter will be a nice conclusion. Wait! One more thing. Jacin is paired with Winter, isn't that correct? I guess, we found our next Prince Charming. We know that Winter is coming. 2015 is a long way. I just can't wait for it.

Rating: Four out of Five

Cress By Marissa Meyer

I can't wait for the day when Prince Kai wakes up and realize that Cinder is Princess Selene.

Ugh!!!!! THE ANTICIPATION is KILLING ME!!

Wolf and Scarlet and the clown(Captain Thorne) better be in this book.

The date is so FAR AWAY

AHHHHHH! 

Please--HURRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scarlet By Marissa Meyer Review

Scarlet by Marissa Meyer is one of the most exciting, thrilling book I've ever read. There was some flaws, yes; but i overlook them because of how purely awesome this book it.

Scarlet- one of those badass heroine who is a "attack now, ask questions later" type of persons. She carries a gun! She is an alpha. She is brave. She is loyal to the people she loves. Wolf, you don't count until later in the book. Maybe the last 2 chapters? She loves her Grandmother dearly. She was willing to listen to someone (Wolf) who might be the enemy.

"Biting her lip, she reached forward, pulling his fingers away from the can. She found that the label had been shredded beneath his mindless fidgeting, 'Wolf, are you asking me to be... your alpha female?'
He hesitated...
'Alpha female.' he murmured. 'I sort of like that.'"


Wolf- ohhh! He is hot. Yeah, I know you might be rolling your eyes at this, but truly is he. It helps if you read "The Queen's Army" although it is not required. Wolf is The Alpha Wolf. He is an animal and a beast. Even though others may seem to see him as an vicious animal, he cares about Scarlet. It is obvious that he care if not love Scarlet.

"...with hair stuck out every direction in messy clumps...His eyes were unnaturally green..."

Cinder- ahhh! Cinder is back. Her usual self has appeared. I love Cinder. I love how her character changes. I feel like she was unsure about her motives until the very end. I love her determination.

Kai- Poor Kai! All that pressure from those (attacks) and other nations. Don't forget about that Lunatic Queen Bitch. In the end, I wanted to murder Kai. He PROPOSED to the EVIL QUEEN. Kai, I'm so disappointed in you. That was the one thing Cinder told you to not do.

Thorne- I mean, Captain Thorne. I love his attitude. He lights up a dark mood. All those little comments are just hilarious. He is a jester. He is just amazing. I love his character. I love his actions. This is one character I look forward to seeing in the next book.

And those are the 5 major characters.
