The #1 New York Times Bestselling Series!

In this third book in Marissa Meyer's bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they're plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and prevent her army from invading Earth.

Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl trapped on a satellite since childhood who's only ever had her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker. Unfortunately, she's being forced to work for Queen Levana, and she's just received orders to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.

When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is splintered. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a higher price than she'd ever expected. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai, especially the cyborg mechanic. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.

cress is my fav book

Books in the middle of a series are difficult to write, but Marissa Meyer pulls of the feat and then some. Meet Cress, an expert hacker trapped in a satellite orbiting earth by Sybil Mira and of course, the infamous Queen Levana. But in a (Failed!) rescue attempt, she and Captain Thorne- Her celebrity crush- are sent hurtling towards earth. Meanwhile, Cinder and the rest of the gang are finally reunited with Dr. Erland! (Go Team Cinder!) Overall this book is fantastic, it left me laughing and crying and begging for Winter, just so I could enter their world once more.

I read all the books in this series. They are really incredible. Marissa Meyer I a great writer. I am dying to read Winter. I just was informed about Fairest so I read it and I am super clear as to Levana's back story. Marissa has inspired me to write my own fan fiction of this. This collection of books is my life I get really excited at the mention of one. It has an exciting plot and is inspiring.

I personally think Cress is the best so far

I love this book and it left we waiting for Winter to come out. I read Fairest which is about Queen Levana before she met Cinder and everyone else. It was such a good book and explained so much. It even gave a 3 chapter sneak peek at Winter and it looks so good. It also explained who Winter was and why she is important.

Cress has been trapped in a satellite for 7 years. She is the evil Queen Levana’s computer programmer and hacker, and yearns to get out of the satellite. So, when she gets in contact with Cinder and her crew, she jumps at the chance to leave. But all of a sudden, a quick turn of events has them all separated from each other. Cress and Thorne are stuck in a falling satellite. Cinder and Wolf are in Africa. Scarlet is trapped with the thaumaturge, heading to Luna. As Cress’s story starts and intertwines with Cinder and Scarlet’s, action, adventure and suspense rise with Kai and Levana’s wedding coming up and Cinder’s gang trying to figure out a way to stop the evil queen. The third installment of The Lunar Chronicles, fans of Cinder and Scarlet will devour this mixed-up futuristic Rapunzel retelling. My thoughts: Cress is a fabulous threequel. It introduces Cress (Rapunzel), who has been alone most of her life and has never been to Earth while continuing the story of the characters introduced in Cinder and Scarlet. It has steady rising action and builds excitement for the last installment, Winter. With a unique plot and a well-developed world, this series takes fairytales to a whole new level—dystopian and sci-fi. It’s just so cool seeing the aspects of the original fairytale taken to this whole new level and seamlessly stitched into the fabric of the futuristic world. Needless to say, I am in love with this series. The idea is just brilliant. I can’t wait for Fairest and Winter, and I can’t wait to see what Marissa Meyer will do next!

I loved this book! It was somewhat long but i was amazing! the plot line it great and Beware there are lots of plot twists! =)

This book it fascinating. The creativity is amazing. Congrats Marissa Meyer. Cinder is a cyborg. read the other two books, Cinder and Scarlet
