I finally got around to reading the other books in this series, and I love the creativity and uniqueness of them. So well-written and such an interesting take on familiar characters

I often recommend this wonderful sci-fi series to students, it is the perfect blend of sci-fi and story retelling. It gives off a steampunk vibe which is just wonderful reading.

I loved Cress! It was an amazingly cohesive way to bring all the characters together. I recommend this book to all of my middle schoolers.

Wonderful novel! I love Meyer and she does it again with yet another awesome fairytale retelling. Recommend highly!

Another stellar entry into the Lunar Chronicles. I gotta say I'm really impressed with Meyer. Usually in a series like this the second or third book is never as good as the first, but all three of these have been great reads. She works in the fairy tales she's reinventing really well and introduces new, engaging characters that you want to like or hate depending on their purpose. Really looking forward to Winter the final book, although I'm sad too. I'll hate to see the series end.

The same fun characters in the previous books make their appearance in the third book of this sci fi/ fantasy series. I would think that with so many characters it would be confusing but surprisingly not. The multiple points of view and the series of plot twists are consistently good.

The Lunar Chronicles just keep getting better and better.

There is so much to say about CRESS, and much of it has already been said by people who have probably said it better than I could, so I'm just going to say a little bit. Here goes.

The characters: Phenomenal. Marissa Meyer knows how to develop some solid characters and keep them strong and consistent. The characters are the most important, strongest, and most loved part of this series. Scarlet and Wolf, Cinder and Kai, Thorne and Cress, Iko, Dr. Erland, Torinn, and even Levana are all such incredible characters that live in our imaginations and our hearts.

The POV: Spectacularly written. The voices of each character's point of view are unique and entertaining. They bring the story forward naturally, without leaving the reader feeling like she missed anything.

The drama: Breathtaking. CRESS is a powerful page-turner, leaving us drooling for more romance, aching with sympathy after fights, pleading with Levana to not be so cruel. . .Yeah, right!

The plot: A whirlwind sci-fi adventure that readers will love from page one.

The verdict: Perfection. Marissa Meyer really delivers with the 3rd installment of the Lunar Chronicles!

I loved the book. Marissa Meyer knows how to do her job. I was again captivated. 5 stars. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this sampler of Cress. It gave a good look into Cres's character, and what we can expect from her in the book. I also enjoyed where the sampler left off. It made me really want to read the rest of the book as soon as I can get my hands on it. I wish there was a bit more action, but that's to be expected in the first chapter of any book because it's setting up for the rest of the book.

Good sample chapter of Cress. It whet my appetite for more.

I had already clicked on this review copy when I realized it was only the first chapter. 5 Stars for the intriguing cover.

After reading this one chapter teaser, I ran out and got the actual book and couldn't put it down. I love this whole series and the authors writing style in this series is amazing.

The first chapter of Cress brings you in to the story and keeps you interested. You want to continue the story to find out what is going to happen and where the characters are going to find each other.

Was a good sneak peek at what the book would be.________________________________________________________
