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.

felt like a catch-up book with everyone trying to reunite but i did enjoy the romance

(if you ignore the uncomfortable and unnecessary age gap)

Still loving the reread of this series. There was some key events that I had forgotten about since my first read through. Those events did take me by surprise, so it was enjoyable to be surprised or caught off guard with a reread.

I cannot wait to get to the last book and finish the series.

A good edition to the series. I found Cress less relatable than Cinder and Scarlett but other than that the plot was amazing. It does take quite a while for the group to meet back up after they split which was annoying. However quite a few minor and some major questions are answered in this book and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Despite not being my favourite book in the series, Cress still managed to deliver a similarly impacting continuation to the storyline of the characters, both old and new.  Now, more than ever, does the heaviness of this story begin to come together, with even more action and drama than ever before.  Recommend to anyone already in love with series, or to those looking for a quiet, relatable main character who comes out of her shell alongside a cocky spaceship captain, and turns herself into the greatest hacker and asset the Rampion crew can ask for.  Full of escapes, cross-country desert treks and survival, this book will further your love for the series entirely.

“I promise, I will not let you die without being kissed.” 

Oh, this was so good. The pacing and twists were excellent, and I had a blast while reading. Seriously, I haven't read something this entertaining in some time (I need to pick better books, I know). Six hundred pages flew by and I can't wait to get my hands on the final book. Easily the best book in the series, if only for the many laugh-out-loud moments (mainly because of Thorne).

At first I was very unmotivated to read this book because the beginning was quite slow. However as I reached the end the action picked up and I was on the edge of my seat. I met Winter who I’ve absolutely fallen in love with already. I almost cried at times, even. I am so very excited for the next books.
