anafurjan 's review for:
Wires and Nerve, Volume 1
by Marissa Meyer
This was great! It was really fun to see the characters again. The art style is simple, but attractive.
I like that we get to follow Iko, because she's awesome, but also because we can see how androids are treated so poorly. Meyer further explores the discrimination and prejudices against androids.
In addition, the war didn't miraculously solve everything. There are problems; there is still some tension and distrust between the lunars and earthens. The politics in this novel was very interesting.
One thing I didn't like was the hinting at a hate to lovers romance between Iko and Kinney. Here's the thing, everyone in the lunar chronicles is coupled together. The relationships are great, imo, but its still unrealistic and annoying, especially since among all the couples, there is no lgbtq+ rep at all.
The coupling up thing doesn't ruin the series for me, but in Wires and Nerves, Iko is also being pushed together with a guy, and sadly that guy is Kinney. Kinney is absolutely horrible to Iko. He insults her, objectifies her and is just a piece of trash to her. I mean, he tells her that she's as shallow and manipulative as Levana!!!!! I hate him and I don't understand how Iko could be with him. She deserves better. And why do the rest of the rampion crew put up with him acting that way towards their friend?? Okay, rant over. I guess im a little curious to see how he's going to redeem himself.
Another really small thing was the illustration on page 224. It depicts the rampion crew eating cake, and I assume it's a memory of the event at the end of Winter. In the picture, Iko has her old pear-shaped body, and yet Iko got her escord-droid body during Cress?
Nevertheless, I really enjoyed this graphic novel installment.
