The Lunar Chronicles

Ciao, people of this world! So glad you decided to check out my blog again after my rather odd introduction. But don't worry, the books are coming.

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer is a bunch of fairy tales that have been woven together to create this one big, awesome story. Did I mention that it is AWESOME?

Cinder, book one, is about a teenage cyborg who is a renowned mechanic. Cinder has always dreamed of escape from her evil guardian, Adri. And yes, it is a Cinderella story.

For those who've read Cinder but maybe not Scarlet, which is the second book, Scarlet is a Little Red Riding Hood story. THIS INCLUDES SPOILERS OF CINDER. Scarlet is a not a cyborg. her grandmother has gone missing. She also finds herself attracted to a street fighter named Wolf.  Meanwhile, Cinder is attempting to escape from prison-and if she succeeds, she'll be the Commonwealth's most wanted fugitive.

And for those who've read Cinder and Scarlet, then you are probably eagerly awaiting for the release of Cress, which is about a girl who is trapped on a satellite dish. It is scheduled to be released on February 4th!!!!!!!!! MUST. HAVE. NOW. CANNOT WAIT FOR THE FOURTH OF FEBRUARY.
Oh, and if you haven't figured out what fairy tale it will be yet, take a look at the cover.

And yes, I know Cinder and Scarlet are also included, but now you know how all the covers look.  Did I mention that I MUST HAVE CRESS RIGHT NOW!?!?!??!!?!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Impatiently awaiting February 4th, 

Elsa

  1. Hi Elsa!
    Thanks for the recommendations- this series sounds really good! I have Cinder, but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. Now that I know that the series is great, I will definitely read it as soon as I have the time. I love how this post gives us a preview of the series, and how each book is a different fairy tale. Thanks again!

  3. I heard a lot about these books but I never got a chance to read, heck I don't like reading. Though you gave a good introduction about these books, a twist on classic fairy tales. It seems pretty cool and also reminds me of an anime.
    P.S I swear to god the Cress is about Rapunzel.
