Cress by Marissa Meyer

5.0

If this book was a person I would kiss it.
This is my favourite in the Lunar Chronicles series. This one introduces my most favourite character, Cress Darnel and my no. 1 OTP (Cresswell) and just my favourite sub plot, really.
Umm yeah I loved this one so much that there were multiple times i had to remind myself to breathe because of the really cute parts.

Aside from the shipping parts of this novel, everything else was really thought out and well written. Cress and Thorne in the desert, Cinder, Wolf and Jacin in Farafah, Kai trying to stanch the horror's of Levana's potential reign, and the climax of the novel were woven together really well and kept me entertained and intrigued.

The emotional turmoil inside Cinder about the use of her powers and the moral dilemmas it presents her with were portrayed realistically and the extent of her powers gave the novel a darker atmosphere, as well as the disturbing events of Scarlet's treatment in Lunar.
