Summary
Again,
I can't say much because I would spoiler you. But here are the basic
plot points:
We have a new main character, Cress, a Lunar shell. She was imprisoned by her own people when she was around ten and became the Queen's hacker. She knows everything about Scarlet, Wolf, Cinder, Kai and especially Throne. In her imagination they are destined to be lovers.
Meanwhile, Cinder and her crew decide to free Cress, who Cinder has met in the first book in the Lunar chronicles.
But the rescue goes as wrong as it could and the group is separated.
Cress and Throne fall into the desert.
Scarlet is captured by a Lunar thraumaturge.
Cinder is alone with a Lunar guard and a wounded Wolf who is worried sick about Scarlet's whereabouts.
And Queen Levana is still determined to become empress and never was it easier for her.

My opinion
An
amazing book!
Even though I still have a lot of exams this month, I flew through Cress. It's the biggest book so far, and I really hope Winter will be even bigger!
I really loved the new protagonist.
Again, Cress is a completely different character. She's naive, terrified, really sweet and creative, absolutely lonely and totally in love with Throne.
But that's what I love about Marissa Meyer's writing. We have a big range of characters, every one with own, special traits. I really had my problems with Quentin, Miles and Colin in John Green's books, for example.
And every one in TLC is just so lovable in his own way.
Exept Levana and Mira. They are assholes.

But not only Cress
is new. There's also Jacin! I'm not quite sure how to pronounce him.
Is it French? Like Jac-uhn? He's a Lunar guard and I still have to
get to know and understand him better.
The writing is as usual wonderful and there's a lot to laugh. Especially when Iko, finally, gets her Escort-droid body!

And, oh my God, I
just noticed something. Besides, Cress AND Rapunzel being types of
lettuce, remember that Cress's 'prince' is called THORNE. Just
like thorn. And now think of the prince in the original fairytale! Oh my God!
You'll get it when you read it, I promise.

For Scarlet and Wolf
Cress was a hard book. Especially when we read from Scarlet's
POV, we get a way darker insight. But I'm so proud of my girl!
And Wolf:

Even though, I
really had to laugh while reading the part with the tomato can. Haha!
And there's Kai.
God, I just want to hug him.
He has probably the heaviest burden in the whole story (sorry, Cinder, your burden is heavy, too)
and he is so adorable!

And towards the end
of the book we got some glimpses on Winter, name giver of book four
in the series. I already love her! I'll only say that she is nothing
like I imagined her to be. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!
These gifs are
perfect!
Rating
5 out of 5 stars
And again, they are so pretty. So pretty, guys.
I could stare at them forever.
