Waiting on Wednesday: Cress by Marissa Meyer

Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Jill of Breaking the Spine!


Cress by Marissa Meyer
Publish Date: February 4, 2014
Publisher: Feiwel and Friends

To my surprise, Marissa managed to outdo Cinder with its follow-up Scarlet. I can't wait to see what she does with the third book in the series.

Rapunzel's tower is a satellite. She can't let down her hair - or her guard.

In this third book in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army.

Their best hope lies with Cress, who has been trapped on a satellite since childhood with only her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker – unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.

When a daring rescue goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing stop her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only ones who can.

    I always thought this version of fairytale retellings sounds too ridiculous in a way that it's hard to wrap yur head around. However, I heard it had many fans, and since this is the last book, I might pick the trilogy up at some point despite my initial hesitation.
    Thanks for sharing! My WoW

    I still haven't read Cinder (*hangs head in shame*), even though hubby got it for me at Christmas. I haven't read anything but amazing things about the series, so I definitely have to start it :)

    I actually haven't read Scarlet yet, but I just LOVED Cinder. It's always amazing when an author out-does herself with a sequel...I can't wait for this! Great pick!

    I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS ONE!! Ahhhh! 2014 has SO many great books coming out -- maybe I can take a sabbatical and spend the year reading. Think my boss would go for that? No? Darn.

    YES!!!!! I'm both excited and nervous about this one, as I was with Scarlet. I always get anxious when I know a new character is getting introduced when I'm already in love with the existing characters and their stories, but Marissa blew me away with Scarlet so I have no doubt she'll do the same with Cress!

    Oh my gosh, I've very nervous about the high price Cress has to pay for her freedom.

    I can't wait to get my hands on this one!
