Whew, I truly forgot how great Cress is! I was over here raving about Scarlet and saying it was my favorite book in the series, but there's a chance that Cress topped that by just a smidge.
Maybe it's the fact that nearly all of the characters in the series have been introduced at this point, maybe it's the vulnerability from some of our "tougher" characters (like Thorne and Cinder), or maybe it's just that Cress is adorably awkward and this book brings in the most emotion up til this point. I don't know what the defining factor is, but it's an excellent story.
Seeing all of the different perspectives really rounds out the story. There have been moments in the previous books where I wanted just the tiniest bit more and this book gives that to us. It's really excellent!
I can't wait to continue this fun reread of The Lunar Chronicles!

This book is definitely my favorite out of the series so far; Cress is such an amazing addition, and seeing different romances play out in their own dynamic was so enjoyable. Thorne will always remain one of my favorite characters.

This book had the most chaotic plot because you are following so many characters journeys. I love that each characters had to endure a physical or mental challenge. I can’t wait to find out what happens in Winter.
