Cress was a great continuation of the Lunar Chronicles series! This Rapunzel is locked in a satellite. I loved the nonstop action moving from chapter to chapter. I was so tickled to learn in the author interview at the end that she‘s a Firefly fan and got some inspiration for this series from there.

This was my #bookspin book for June. Late post! Thank you again @TheAromaofBooks !

📸 Taken at Clear Creek, Arizona last month.

I checked today and discovered I started this series in 2016! Then I read the 2nd in 2020. No, I refuse to wait until 2028 to finish the series! It‘s too good!
For now, my goal is just to finish the last 248 pages by Sunday night so I can get a #bookspin book read and a #bookspinbingo !

This is the my favorite in the series so far.

Her satellite made one full orbit around the planet Earth every sixteen hours. It was a prison that came with an endlessly breathtaking view—vast blue oceans and swirling clouds and sunrises that set half the world on fire.

Cress is a Lunar, stuck on a satellite orbiting Earth. Her mission from the Lunars who exiled her is to collect information on those on Earth who threaten Lunar and its inhabitants, including Cinder and her crew.

#HairOnCover it may be time for me to reread The Lunar Chronicles. #BookBinge @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks

Book 3 of the Lunar Series is full of action and new characters-- a band of misfits who prepare to take on the wicked queen, but first they need to have a plan. Kidnapping the prince sounds about right. With just the right amount of romance, this book has me rooting for the good guys.

Oh my goodness! I highly enjoyed this one! I really liked the new characters and I enjoyed Cinder more. Captain Thorne was a riot and Cress was absolutely sweet. There was so much action and I even teared up at the doctor's confession. It was not a perfect book but it is so far my favorite from the series. I can't wait to read the next one! 4.5 ⭐️

Rapunzel is a hacker and her tower prison is a satellite out in space in this incredibly clever, fun, sharp, and exciting third installment of the Lunar Chronicles. This was my favorite yet—because of the character of Cress herself. Her sensitivity and wonder provide such a foil for Meyer‘s streetwise Cinder and Scarlet. They‘re all lovable though! I love how Meyer plays with the key elements of the original fairy tales in her sci-fi setting.

This is my first finished read of the new year! I haven't picked up a book from the Lunar Chronicles in quite a while. This being the 3rd book in the series I was surprisingly able to remember all the characters thanks to Marissa Meyer's simple writing style and her playing back moments throughout the book, which I really appreciated. This one is full of action and some romances are starting to unravel as well.

Heading to the snow today ❄️☃️

Continuing on with this series!!! 💖

Absolutely loving my Lunar Chronical reread! Cress is so freaking cute and IKO and Throne are still just the best comic relief. I love all moments when it was just them hanging out on the ship. Kai and Cinder reunions still one of my favs and I really love their snarky responses to everyone.

Think this is my favorite in the series. I adore Cress. She has such a unique view on the world. Been in her satellite for 11 years with her mistress being the only human companion. Shows a good way of her mental episodes from being overwhelmed. She doesn‘t know how to cope. I feel bad for Wolf so much. For the varying of characters and plot lines, they all came together really well.

She lifted her chin, holding his gaze. “So I‘m going to Luna, and I‘m going to start a revolution.”

Such a good book. Took a little bit to read because of stuff unrelated. Loved Thorne in this one. Cress was also amazing and was badass in her own kinda way. But like ONE KISS?? THATS IT? Can‘t wait to see how the love story progresses in the next one. Cinder was amazing as always and loved her chapters. Wolf gave me heart problems when he lost his alpha. Absolutely loved this one❤️. 4⭐️

I liked it! Some of the romance storylines are a little more YA than I typically like, but the story is really picking up now! Plus it checks the box for this month‘s #FairyTaleReadingChallenge @Charityann

Yay!! I finally finished this #AlmostaChunkster !! I absolutely loved it, so my slow reading speed was definitely not a reflection of my enjoyment! This series is really picking up momentum. Meyer does a fabulous job balancing the different characters and their stories. I am not even sure who I love the most. (Okay, probably Thorne haha) I also think that she captures the themes of each fairy tale so well. Finishing this one wash main goal for ⬇️

#MarvellousMay starts tomorrow. May has been SUPER busy for me as the weather has finally broken and we have been trying to get things caught up in the gardens as almost nothing productive happened during our wet, cold April. Anyway, all that to say that I have not gotten nearly as much reading done as usual! My big goal for next week is to actually read the tagged book. My chapter-a-day books are hogging up a lot of my reading time with not a ⬇

The third book in the #1 New York Times- and USA Today-Bestselling Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer like you've never seen it before, now with new cover art The evil space queen gives an imprisoned hacker orders to track down our cyborg heroine and her team of reimagined fairytale characters. Can the Rapunzel-like hacker break free and help them instead?

CRESS 😁 One step closer to owning The Lunar Chronicles❣️

This is the 3rd book in the Lunar Chronicles(highly recommend) and details Cress‘s escape from her Satellite prison with the help of Cinder and the rest of her team. Their plan fails however because of an unexpected guest, and the group is separated. Cress and Captain Thorne(whom she‘s in love with) adventure across the dessert where they eventually reunite with Cinder, Wolf, Iko and Dr Erland. Scarlet remains in the hands of a Lunar family.

“Maybe there isn‘t such a thing as fate. Maybe it‘s just the opportunities we‘re given, and what we do with them. I‘m beginning to think that maybe great, epic romances don‘t just happen. We have to make them ourselves.”

Excellent continuation to the Lunar chronicles series! Although the glimpses you get of Winter make me a little nervous about reading that one… However it was lovely to see Cress and Thorne develop their relationship.

The sci-fi Rapunzel retelling I didn‘t know I needed. For the full review, please visit http://benjamin-m-weilert.com/index.php/2021/12/01/book-cress-2014/

I think we didn‘t get to know Cress as good as Scarlet & Cinder, and the plot of both Scarlet & Cress are kind of the same and who is going to be the love interest is VERY predictable, but this series remains fast-pacing and exciting!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

Where did the time go! Can't believe it's been 12 hours into the read-a-thon...

I‘ve been in a bit of a reading slump lately, so I‘ve turned to two of my favorite Marissa Meyer stories. If you haven‘t read the Renegades trilogy or the Lunar Chronicles yet, you need to stop what you are doing and read them now. 100 stars out of five.

Another great book in this series! Cress is a shell, which just means she has no magic, and was abandoned as a baby. Even without lunar magic though, Cress can do impressive things with anything electronic. The action really takes off when Cress meets Cinder, Scarlet, and Wolf.

Meyer keeps adding things I'm not expecting to the story and it just makes me love this series even more.

My list for May. #BookSpinBingo @TheAromaofBooks

I'm really excited to finish the Lunar chronicles this month. 💚 And I love Jacqueline Woodson, so I can't wait to read more from her for #AuthorAMonth2021. @Soubhiville

I love how each new addition in the series becomes the focal point weaved into the main story.
Cress was sweet and incredibly naive. It was fun seeing Cress grow in the last two books though. My other favorite thing about Cress‘ book is that we got a lot more of Captain Thorne than normal. I really liked the captain, he was a rogue and kinda shameless but he was Cinder‘s first ally (after Iko) and he was an important part of Cinder‘s circle

Enjoy!

Three down, one to go! (Excluding the novella/short stories, of course.) I knew I would love Cress's book the most because I am a Rapunzel stan, and I wasn't mad about being proven right AT ALL. Cress/Thorne 5ever. Cinder/Kai 5ever. Let's overthrow a government, y'all!! #yalit #retellings

The drama, the suspense, the hero‘s journey, oh my! This 3rd installment of the Lunar Chronicles had me sucked in from the very beginning 😃

This third story brought me back into loving this world. The second book was not bad, but didn‘t interest me as much as the first. This one ties in another backstory you didn‘t know you needed. There is heartbreak, loss of body parts, and a goofy maybe romance? Either way I‘m in love again with this series!

I finished Normal People today and I LOVED it. Now I'm getting back to the Lunar Chronicles and hope so finish them before Thanksgiving.
