I’m glad the next book is the last one because I’m anxious to see what happens. The characterization is great. The characters are well rounded and diverse. I like how she introduces some characters in books before their spotlight book. I’m also glad the author doesn’t spend too much time describing the setting. It’s better to rely on the imagination. This series would actually make a good movie!

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.
