The beginning is slow but once Cinder’s plan gets going there is none stop action. You will be on the edge of your seat for most of it and the ending is pretty much everything you hope it will be. But do bring some tissues.

The conclusive book to the Lunar chronicles (apart from the short stories), this is the final struggle to reclaim freedom for humanity.  And this book goes off with a bang!  Now that the entire cast of characters has finally been collected, the story somehow manages to unfold in the space of a week, despite its imposing length.  Full of nonstop action, romance and political intrigue, the heavy conclusion you've been waiting for is here to grace your bookshelf.  Recommend to anyone who loves the series, a massive found family, high stakes and tensions, a group of underdogs, battles on the moon and high science fiction political intrigue.

hehe this was a great book. i loved how you got the perspectives of all 10 members. however this book probably could have been split into two books because wow that was hard to read when lying down. it was a really cute book (i love wolf) and i never knew where the plot would turn. i probably read it too late in my life to adore it like some of my friends do because i’m a few years older than the target audience. but still, what a lovely series!
