Wires and Nerve, Volume 2: Gone Rogue by Marissa Meyer
3.0
This installment of Wires and Nerve was objectively so much better than the first one.
In this, the final part of The Lunar Chronicles masterpiece, Iko finally gets her time to shine (and her own romance—though it's undoubtedly the least rewarding of TLC romances). The graphic novel is filled with all of the excitement, personality, and straight-up nonsense (see: Thorne) of the previous TLC novels. While this duology does not (dare I say, could not) hold a candle to the original series, it is still a fun and worthy addition. If you love The Lunar Chronicles as much as I do (and as much as most of Goodreads does) I encourage you to give this one a try!
My biggest complaint is still the artwork. There will always be a little tension between the readers and the artwork anytime a series is adapted in some way to a graphic novel. I know this. To be so honest, I pictured most of the characters as looking fairly different than their adaptations (which I realize is a fault of mine but I simply do not care).
Regardless, I still did not care for the artwork in this series. It isn't very pretty, and characters like Winter, who are supposed to be straight-up stunning, come across as... well... the same as all of the other boring-looking characters. It wasn't enough to take me out of the story, though, so I'd still recommend this duology.
Bottom line: It may be ugly, but it's got a great personality.
