Book Synopsis: Even in the future. there are damsels in distress...
In the third installment of the Lunar chronicles, Cress, having risked everything to warn Cinder of Queen Levana's evil plan, has a slight problem. She's been imprisoned on a satellite since childhood and has only ever had her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress a great hacker. Unfortunately, she's just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.
When a daring rescue of Cress involving Cinder, Captain Thorne, Scarlet, and Wolf goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes as a high price. Meanwhile, Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.
Okay, this was definitely my favorite book in the Lunar Chronicles so far. It has everything, a brilliant story-line, action, romance, adventure. Like Mother Gothel, Queen Levana does not know what's coming to her - not any idea. One of my favorite movies of all time is Tangled, I just love Rapunzel and I can't even tell you how many times I've watched it over and over again.
Step aside Cinder, I finally have a new favorite character in this series. Cress, is naive, brave, and longing to be freed from her seven year imprisonment. Enter Carswell Thorne, (that's Captain to you), he's her very own Flynn Rider, and who better to save a damsel in distress than a handsome guy like Cap.
The ending, oh my! You're going to love it and when you pick up the next book, you'll be waiting for the next book in the series. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to read all the short stories like Fairest in the series, because I don't know if the library has a copy of those novellas. *Fingers crossed* that they do.
