Synopsis

In this third book in the Lunar Chronicles, 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 her army. 

Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl imprisoned 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 just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice. 

When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.
  
My Review
I couldn't put this one down. In this third book in the Lunar Chronicles we're introduced to a new character, Cress. She's been suck on a satellite waiting to be rescued, and who better to do that then Captain Thorne, Cinder, Scarlet and Wolf.

We follow them on a pretty complicated journey, but we learn so many new things connecting all of these awesome characters. We follow three or four different story lines in this book and they come together a few times, but it wasn't hard to follow. 

I really enjoyed how these characters are connected and about 3/4 of the way into the book we finally get to meet Winter... and I can't even explain how much I am anticipating this new book that follows her story. 

Queen Levana is as evil as ever, and Emperor Kai is struggling with many complications as he's trying to keep his planet safe from Queen Levana's wrath if she doesn't get what she wants. 

This one was top notch. I gave it 5/5 stars and I'm impatiently waiting for Winter to come out this year. Go pick this up if you can. It's perfect for any age and especially for young girls.
