I loved the story. That we finally get to know what happened between the end of Winter and the epilogue. But the art work doesn't really work for me. Maybe I had big expectations. Still enjoyed it.
Also made me really homesick with the Lunar Chronicles. Planning to listen to the audiobooks soon.

This was better than I expected! I loved being thrown back into the world of the Lunar Chronicles, it brought back so many memories from the books. I'm really loved Iko's perspective, she is such an amazing character. The plot was interesting and really fast paced. I'm so excited for the second volume to come out in January, the cliffhanger is killing me!

Loved this book (and the graphic novel format)! If you liked the Lunar Chronicles, you'll definitely enjoy this. I just wish there was more Scarlet and Wolf. I can't wait for the next one!

This was so entertaining!! Loved it. I love Iko's character so much. It was really nice to be back in the Lunar world with all my favorite characters again!
Nothing against Marissa's writing but I need to complain about the art a little bit;
Why everything is blue?
Kai is not hot and chinese enough
Thorne looks like Doug from Nickelodeon
Kinney looks like Thorne but with darker hair

Quite unintentionally, I've read a few story arcs out of order lately. I know it's frowned upon, but each time it's worked out for the best (for me). Rather than ending up with spoilers or confusion, I've gained an "outside" perspective on things through my "illicit" knowledge. And it's given me a new appreciation for the writer's cleverness.
This is the perfect example.
Ms. Meyer touched on the political resolution of Luna in her shorter works, something that always felt stilted if I'm honest. (Of COURSE a monarchy needs to be dissolved in favor of democracy; it's a requirement in everything, right?) The background story was lacking. And so was the answer of the mutated Lunar soldiers. They faded away, lost in an assumption of "happy ever after."
This alternate telling fills in the gaps and provides the missing steps that rubbed so raw before. To say nothing of giving Iko the spotlight she always craved (and, frankly, deserved). I hate to label her a secondary character in the original series, but she had to settle for a quieter role given her bodily limitations. Now she can step forward on her own, and that wicked streak of humor is a positive delight. To say nothing of becoming a certifiable action hero. It's the perfect viewpoint for the tale, bridging Cinder's struggle with the physical altercations on Earth. And I applaud Ms. Meyer for thinking of it.

I don't normally do graphic novels, but since I adore the Lunar Chronicles as much as I do I figured this would be the one I did. And let me tell you, I was not disappointed. This story mostly follows Iko, everyone's favorite android, through the hunt to locate all of the Lunar soldiers left on Earth after the war. It will occasionally jump into other characters' POV when it needs to, but it's mostly Iko. I love the characters and the storytelling, and it was a really fast read. I cannot recommend it enough if you've read the Lunar Chronicles series.
