A review by finallyfinnian
Cress by Marissa Meyer

5.0

I found this series late - one of my students recommended it during a discussion on favorite books and she was so enthusiastic, I had to check them out. I've loved all of the books so far, but Cress is my favorite. Thorne and Cress are kind of adorable. In the first book, there were parts of the gushing over Kai that I found irritating- I didn't find anything irritating about Thorne and Cress. This book zips along quickly, the pace is on fire and there's not a single place where I wanted to put it down. I highly recommend this series to anyone who loves a good fantasy/cyborg/fairytale retelling/YA. Even if you don't get completely into Cinder, you'll want to stick around because Scarlet is better and Cress is just superb.
