Book 3 of the Lunar Chronicles reimagined Rapunzel. The plot draws more elements from the original Grimm brothers Rapunzel, leading to a more interesting read. The plot focuses on a minor character from the previous books. Cress is a young woman locked in a satellite, forced to hack and program for the evil Lunar queen. The plot centers on her escape and our favorite crew as they try to figure out a way to save Earth from all out war. The plot focuses on a new plan for how Cinder will take her place as the missing Lunar princess. The first step? Stopping Kai’s wedding so that Queen Levanna does not become Empress of the Commonwealth, which can’t be undone even if Cinder takes over Luna. Our crew gets separated along the way, with interesting adventures that reveal more about the plague, the Lunar Queen’s plan, and our characters themselves.
Overall, I enjoyed this book the most out of the first three. It’s not a standalone book, but an exciting ride as we follow The Rampion’s crew on their quest to stop the evil Queen Levanna.

Content Warnings
Graphic: Physical abuse, Confinement, and Kidnapping
Moderate: Violence and Torture
Minor: Animal death
Because the Lunar people have the power to manipulate and torture people with their minds, this mental torture comes up multiple times in the book. Some of the characters are kidnapped along the way. There is one animal death (but it is for hunting).
