Have finally read this and loved it!!! it was great to see our friends from the lunar chronicles again and this graphic novel reminded me of how much I love this world and cast of characters. I wish I could reread The lunar chronicles now, but my Tbr is already screaming at me.

3.5.
adventurous funny fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Now that I know this is a sequel to a series I am unfamiliar with, it makes sense that I was terribly confused through much of it. Even still, it doesn’t hold up as a singular piece. The writing is immature, even for YA, and the art isn’t anything special. I like the main character being an android and experiencing prejudice because of it, but other than that it’s not worth your time.

If I could I’d give it 3.5 stars, but it deserves a rounding up.

In middle school I became obsessed with the Lunar Chronicles. It helped me find good friends, and Winter was the first book I pulled an all nighter to read. I happened to find Wires and Nerves on clearance, and since I was never able to pick up a copy before, I felt nostalgia calling me to buy it.

The story is as intriguing as I remember, and though the art is a bit bland, I enjoy the monochromatic style. My only gripe is I wish this was another book, instead of a graphic novel. It’s probably just personal preference, but Meyer’s writing is phenomenal, and there’s enough plot going on that could have added ‘Iko’ to the series.

*3.5

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

love love LOVE not a huge fan of the art style tho

* I love that we got appearances from all our favorite characters. It also shows you what happened later after the last book.
* Why is Adri there? WHY IS ADRI AS INFURIATING AS EVER? I’m still so mad at how easy she got off.
* It’s nice what we got to meet Thorne’s parents
* Jacin applied for medical school! Yay! I keep forgetting he’s 19 and it’s not too late
