Next fairy tale to be tacked is Cinderella, which was kinda to be expected with a spaceship called Rampion. Cress is trapped in a satellite doing the bidding of Queen Levana, but she is engaging in small acts of rebellion and trying to subvert things. She's supporting Cinder and trying her best to ensure that Cinder's rebellion will come to pass.
Complicated but mostly a bridging novel, bringing characters together to lead to the resolution.

This was such a fun read! I loved getting to know more about Cress and her point of view was so fun to follow. The politics in this one was kinda crazy but I’m invested! and the ending!!!!!! I’m so excited and engaged and ready to read the next book

**2019 reread**
Read Infinity and Beyond: Moon - Read a book with a moon base
*2018*
I liked this one better then the previous books. They've been steadily getting better.
4.25 stars
I really liked Thorne more in this book then Scarlet. I also really enjoyed Cress. I also liked how Wolf was being a good version of the Protective Boyfriend. He knows Scarlet can handle herself, but he also knows she's in a lot of danger.

“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.”
Cress has been trapped inside a satellite for years, doing Queen Levena and Sybil's bidding. She is told to track Cinder and her team and keep an eye on Kai. However, she has been working against Levena and she is drawn into the reality of Cinder's world.
If you liked Cinder and Scarlet, then this will not disappoint you. It didn't fully grasp my attention till about 30% in, which actually made me a little bit sad, because I was scared I wasn't going to enjoy it that much. Thankfully though, I started to get into the story a bit more until I was struggling to put it down. It is a long book, and that can be a bit off-putting, and I think it is one of the main reasons it took me so long to read it.
Cress is a great character. I liked how different she is from both Cinder and Scarlet. She is really shy, unsure of herself sometimes, until it came to her hacking abilities and she knows there is no one better than her, and I liked that confidence in her. It was nice to be introduced to all these new characters. One main thing I love about Marissa Meyer is that she shows us that these women don't need to rely on men, they are the hero of their own story, and they are in charge of the situation and I love that.
The relationship between Cress and Thorne was very cute. Meyer hasn't rushed it, and I like the development between the two. I also like how Cress had this image of a perfect hero in her head, and once she got to know him, she realises he is not like that, but she still sees all the good in him. I really do look forward to reading more of them.
Winter was introduced in Cress, and I actually was pleasantly surprised by her character and I am definitely looking forward to reading more about her. Shame about such a long wait...
World building is another aspect of Cress which was done brilliantly. Meyer seems to have done it even better in Cress, and I was very happy with it.
Overall, a very entertaining, thrilling, action packed book that will suit all your needs.

I really can not put into words how much I love this series. The idea is so different but definitely well done. Now that I am caught up on the series, let me break everything down and discuss it that way instead of in whole.
First, the characters. I cannot say how much I love these characters. Each one is so different and complex, with their own personalities and faults. They are very well rounded and act very realistically even in a very unrealistic world. I particularly enjoyed how Meyer managed to intricately weave the original fairytale with her own twists and turns. Rapunzel's prince being blinded by a satellite crash, a romace sparking between Red Riding Hood and The Wolf, Cinderella loosing not only her shoes but her whole foot. While it is a little frustrating and predictable, the pairing off of each set of new characters it also goes right along with the "Happily Ever After" of each story. And keeping in mind, this is not the last book in the series, Meyer could dish out some new surprises. However, the pairings do appeal to everyone's inner fangirl and, honestly, who doesn't enjoy some "Happily Ever After" once in a while? I appreciated that the characters struggled with each of their problems. To me, it made it easier to relate to them, sometimes being reminded of just how young they really are.
Next, onto the settings. The characters are constantly going from one setting to another, not only different cultures but different planets. I did wish that more detail was provided into the settings and where the characters were. We get basic descriptions but no true details as to what the different lands were like. Meyer has made a new world in her story based on our current one so although we get a basic idea what everything looks like, we never get full, in depth details. I wish she had taken more time or effort on that aspect of the story and helped create even more intricate surrounding.
The story itself is fun to read. It moves quickly, one moment making you gush with excitement, then cringing with secondhand embarrassment, to throwing the book down and walking away. At times predictable, it is a perfect light and easy read. I read this after a real heartbreaking tearjerker and this was the perfect break.
Overall, I give this whole series five stars. Despite its cons and quirks, I love everything about it and suggest it to any fairytale lover. Being so easy to read, you can get through all the books quickly and they are definitly worth your time.
