Title: Cress (Lunar Chronicles #3)
Author: Marissa Meyer
Publication date: February 4, 2014
Publisher: Feiwel & Friends
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.
Why I'm wishing:
Can we just take a moment to take in that beautiful cover? I'm absolutely loving it. Now we can all join in together and hate that February is so far away. I've been seeing this mentioned on my Twitter feed and desperately want this one. It involves a Rapunzel retelling, but we will also get to see our old favorites, like Cinder and Scarlet.
It doesn't hurt that I hear Thorne is the love interest, which I so guessed in my interview with Marissa Meyer earlier this year. Yes, please.
What are you wishing for this Wednesday?
Not a book, I'm wishing for a off from school!
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be nice!
DeleteThe covers in this series have got to be some of my favorites EVER! I have Cinder and Scarlet sitting GORGEOUSLY on my shelf, yet I haven't had the opportunity to read either one. I'm sure I will pick up this one too after it's release... hope I can read them all very soon. I've heard they're amazing! :)
ReplyDeleteTHAT IS A TRAGEDY, LISA! I hope so too because the covers are gorgeous, but the content is as well :)
DeleteThanks for sharing, I'm not sure it'll be one I get as I'm getting confused just reading the synopsis! (It doesn't take much when there are lots of names lol). I hope you enjoy it when it comes out

Haha! Well, have you read the other two in the series? Thank you!
DeleteThat cover is gorgeous! I've heard so many people rave about the 1st two books -- maybe I'll finally give them a try!

My Wednesday Post
You really should!
DeleteI own both the first and second but haven't read Scarlet yet! I can't wait though!
ReplyDeleteMy WW
Oh, you need to!
DeleteI can't wait :) I enjoyed both the first and the second book! Great pick.
ReplyDeleteJanina
My WW!
Thanks.
DeleteYes! I'm so excited for Cress, too. :) So many people on Twitter have ARCs, and it's driving me batty.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! I kinda drool every time I see someone say they have it/post a picture.
DeleteI absolutely loved Cinder! I tried reading Scarlet, but for some reason could not finish it :( I'm going to try and read it before Cress comes out! Rapunzel is my favorite fairy tale, so I'm really looking forward to this one!
ReplyDeleteOh no :( I didn't like it as much as Cinder, I have to admit that.
DeleteSo pretty! And eek I still need to read Scarlet. Must get on that! Hope you love Cress as much as the other Lunar books.
ReplyDeleteI so agree, that cover is lovely! I am so so SO excited for this book! Especially looking forward to more Kai and Cinder. <3
ReplyDeleteYes! So agreed. I can pretty much skip Scarlet and her whole thing, I need more Cinder and Kai PRONTO.
DeleteI'm excited about this, too. And hey, I hadn't seen the cover for it yet, so that's pretty cool! Thanks for featuring, missy.

You've missed out on its beauty?! What a shame. But so glad I could help :)
DeleteI want Cress so bad!! I really wish it would come out sooner haha. I hope we both get it when it comes out!

Agreed!
DeleteI have heard nothing but good about these books, and I agree regarding this cover's beauty. I hope you enjoy Cress as much as its predecessors!
ReplyDeleteThank you! WAIT, does this mean you haven't read them yet? EMILY.
DeleteCRESSSSSSSSSS. I am so excited to read this! I adored Cinder and Scarlet and early buzz says this one will be just as fantastic. I hope you love it too! You clearly have excellent taste ;)
ReplyDeleteAs for me, (aside from Cress anyway), I'm waiting on Dorothy Must Die. The twist on the classic story sounds crazy interesting!
Yayayay! I hope it is. Clearly we both do ;)
DeleteI am totally with you there. It looks fantastic. Thanks for sharing!
Great pick! I´m also looking forward to read Cress. Love the cover.
ReplyDeleteHere is My WOW
Great!
DeleteI agree the cover is gorgeous to this book. I'm a behind that I haven't even picked up a single book by Meyer yet, but I think your enthusiasm is certainly catching! Great pick Sunny! :)
ReplyDeleteOh no, get on it, Jasprit!
DeleteI adore all things Rapunzel, and that cover is divine. Too bad the ARC doesn't have it, but hey, that's why I purchase finished copies, right? Can't wait to get to this one! I hope we both love it!!!
ReplyDeleteIt really is, but I would gladly have an ARC to read and then go buy the real thing after it's published :) Me too, Jen!
DeleteMy younger sister loves this series! I still haven't read them yet, myself, but I know she's dying for this book to come out.
