I have to say I was thrilled to finally read this continuation of the Lunar Chronicles. Iko was always one of my favorite characters in the series and true to her self she does not disappoint in Wires and Nerves. We do get a chance to see the other side of Iko that is tough and experience more of her human personality and feelings. It was amazing to actually get to see all of the characters visually for the first time. I have to recommend this graphic novel to any fan of the Lunar Chronicles series.

I really liked Wires And Nerve! I keep wanting to call it Wires And Nerves, for some reason, but that's definitely not right.
I loved the Cinder series, which is why I picked this book up ages ago. It's been on my book shelf for literal years, and since I'm in this mood to read all of the books on my bookshelf that I haven't read, I knew it was time to read it. I didn't like it nearly as much, but I still really liked it.
Iko, of coure, is awesome, and the format was perfect for her story. I'm glad we get a book about Iko! I loved seeing what she was up to, and she really is perfect for the job she had to do in this book. I keep forgetting that Iko is an android, because she has so much heart and personality. One of Cinder's guards has no problem reminding her that she's not human, and I feel like it definitely got to her. I wish we saw a little more of that, but maybe in the next one. I'm pretty sure we would have gotten that had this book been a novel, but I'm also having a hard time picturing this book as a novel.
I did read this book in one sitting, which wasn't a surprise because it's a graphic novel. It did work well for this particular story, and I can't really put my finger on it. It just worked. Even though we see what's going on with all of the other characters, part of me wished we spent more time with them. I know we'll get glimpses of them in the next one, and I can always go back and re-read the original series. It just wasn't the same, now that they're all off doing their own things because all is relatively right with the world (and moon).
As much as I liked it, I also had a hard time getting into it. I don't know if it's because we're seeing the ever after, and all of the work that goes into, or if I'm just not in the mood for it, but I had a hard time loving it the way I loved the Lunar Chronicles.
It's still great, and I definitely recommend it, especially if you love the Lunar Chronicles and haven't read the graphic novel yet.
My Rating: 4 stars. I really liked Wires And Nerve, but I didn't love it as much as I wanted or hoped to.

Love Iko and I'm glad that the adventures aren't over.
i didnt like the art style that much i felt the characters looked too similar and rthat is not my idea of cinder at all. but the storylives up to marissameyers regular so i can deal
This is a beautiful and genius follow-up story to Meyer's Lunar series. I enjoyed the books, but seeing it brought to life in a graphic novel is infinitely more delightful. I read it all in about an hour and now wish I'd taken my time. Looking forward to the next installment way mucho. (If you haven't read the Lunar chronicles, I'm not sure how much you'd enjoy this, btw.)
This spin-off tale from Marissa Meyer's Cinder series focuses on android Iko and the aftermath of the Lunar Revolution. Iko has made it her personal mission to eradicate the mutant wolf-human soldiers terrorizing earth's inhabitants, left over from Levana's army and stuck on earth. Their alpha is calling all mutant soldiers to action, claiming that Selene has the power to undo the transformations, but refuses to do so. Appearances from the cast of the books will entertain fans of Meyer's series, but leave little to those who may not have read all of the books.
When fan-familiar characters enter scenes, there are black boxes that give details about who the characters are. With so many appearances, these become tedious over time. Additionally, the art does not quite capture what is being described in the dialogue. For example, there is a two-page spread focused on fashion choices, yet the characters are not wearing items of clothing that particularly capture what is being discussed.
