Book Review: Cress (Lunar Chronicles #3)

Cress is the third book in Marissa Meyer’s Lunar Chronicles.

Although it did not disappoint, I think it was a little too long. That doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it. On the contrary, I did. The story introduces Cress (who we actually met in the first book) and who resembles Rapunzel in the same way Cinder resembles Cinderella, and Scarlet, Little Red Riding Hood.

Now, I’m going to talk a bit about books 1 and 2 as I explain my feelings for book 3, soooo…

*SPOILERS AHEAD!*

When we were introduced to Thorne in Scarlet, I knew she wasn’t for Cinder… he was meant to be with Cress. In this book, we get a lot of Cress and Thorne as the author tries to sell how they belong to each other. I didn’t buy it, unfortunately. Sure, it sounds great and it would make a perfect ending where each of them gets their man, but I just don’t think they are meant to be together. Sorry.

It’s because of this that they are trapped for the most part in a place where there is no one else around to let them bond. This made a bunch of chapters about their developing relationship that I thought was too much.

Still, I am enjoying the series just as much! And the ending just made me go to Barnes and Noble and go get it from the shelf because I can’t, for the life of me, wait for Amazon’s 2-Day delivery!

Cheers!
