Cress by Marissa Meyer
5.0
5 Stars
I feel like this is a rare occurrence, but this series just keeps getting better! The story got more exciting, more complicated, and the added characters were a delight. I loved how the Rapunzel-inspired storyline was woven through this one. Cress herself was a joy – fanciful and sweet. And her storyline with Carswell Thorne was just adorable. There were unexpected twists and turns in the storyline, and even the parts I did expect had such a build-up to the moment that it just felt so good to see it happen.
This is definitely my favorite book so far in the series. I loved the intricate storyline and how the stakes just keep getting higher.
I’m ready to plunge into Winter (the final book in the series) which I have heard a lot of positive things about. We catch a brief glimpse at Princess Winter in Cress, and she sounds to be quite a character, so I am really interested to see how this all plays out.

“You said yourself that the people of Luna need a revolutionary.” She lifted her chin, holding his gaze. “So I’m going to Luna, and I’m going to start a revolution.”
