My Thoughts
The adventure continues in Cress!
The amount of action in this series
just keeps getting bigger and better with every book. Things continue
to heat up in this third installment and now the gang is getting
ready to launch their first strikes against Levana. The first being
to Save Cress! As Cinder digs deeper and more and more secrets are
being revealed it is soon clear that it will take all that they have
and as many allies as they can get to take down Levana. There was so
many new mysteries cleared up in this book that I was constantly
jumping up and down in excitement with each page turn. With more
action unfortunately comes more danger and a few sacrifices. There
was definitely some tear jerking moments in this book, but there were
also plenty of just plain hilarious moments.
We meet Cress first in Cinder very
briefly and I was intrigued, but not completely sure what to expect
from her. After getting to know her in this book I was so excited.
She is so adorable! Cress is also brilliant when it comes to
programming which is why she is being forced to work for the lunar
queen. I loved her courage and determination. She is trapped and
betrayal could cost her her life, but she still does what she can to
help the people of earth. I also loved her banter with Thorne. It was
some of the best parts of the book!
Thorne was always the secondary wise
cracker of the group and I liked that in this book he got some more
time to shine. We definitely get to see A LOT more of his usual humor
in this book, but I feel that we also get to see a softer side to
him. It was kind of nice to see him caring so much for someone.
Although his relationship with Cress has a long way to go I think
there really is a small spark there.
So for all you lunar fans out there I
highly recommend you go get your copy of Cress right now if you
haven't already. Be warned it will put you on a roller coaster ride
of emotions that will leave you screaming for the next book!
Sounds like a great book! I will have to go buy it now!
