Score: Seven out of ten.
Well. It looks like I finally read Cress. After picking up (and surprisingly enjoying) Cinder and Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, I wanted to give her another shot to see if the The Lunar Chronicles continued to impress me. I glanced at the blurb, making it seem intriguing and a book that would suit my tastes. When I closed the final page, it was enjoyable.

I always worry that I won’t like the new characters as much but they are always amazing! I loved Cress and her and Thorne’s chapters were my favourite to read! (I am now a giant Thorne fan!)
I also love how all the characters storylines overlap so even if they are in different places and separated, it is still a cohesive and continuous story.
It was fun having the group separated for a bit but I must say I love when they are all back together working together.
I found this book so fun to read and I love how the stakes are rising more and more as the characters are also developing.
Can’t wait to read Winter!!!
