GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS CINDER ("The Lunar Chronicles: Cress" Part 2)

Omfg I literally just finished "Cress" and I'm a little emotional so we'll see how this goes but it's discussion time. Blah blah blah fucking blah standard warning of spoilers that may or may not be in this post because I haven't written it yet so idk. Jesus okay here WE GOOOOOOO
Alright omg I don't even know where to begin. This by far is my favorite book from "The Lunar Chronicles" so far. Like it ends with everyone together to go get Scarlet and dethrone Levana and I'm so excited to see how the rest of this story unfolds.
And ALL MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE FINALLY Kai knows about Cinder and all is right in the world. And they can finally be in love sigh I can't wait. I loved how right before he kissed her he asked if she was using her gift on him. Idk why I thought that was cute or something. I kind of felt like it was weird for him to say that she was right about how he probably wouldn't have talked to her after finding out she was cyborg. It doesn't seem in his character but idk.
Also omfg can we talk about Cress and Throne and how fucking adorable they are. I really can't handle it I giggled like a little girl when he kissed her around all the chaos. It was a stupid thing for him to do, granted, but incredibly sweet and romantic which are things my heart is not immune to.
Doubly also I'm, once again, falling in love with another female character. We got two scenes with Princess Winter and I already need more. I need to know more like now.
Triply also RIP Doctor Erland :( I'll miss you. It's awful that he got taken by the very disease he'd been trying to find a cure for that he was supposed to be immune to. And right after he'd told Cress he's her father :( too much sad.
Sigh okay I feel like I could go on forever but I'll stop now. \
In conclusion: IT HURTS SO GOOD
And next: "Hollow City" (the sequel to "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children") by  Ransom Riggs

It's about time. ("The Lunar Chronicles: Scarlet" Part 1)

For whatever reason I am DRAGGING this book out and it can't be helped. But I am finally halfway through "Scarlet" so let's discuss. (P.S. standard warning about spoilers that may or may not be in this post so you won't hate me)
I love Scarlet's spunk, although I find it to be a bit naive. But it is nice to see a strong female character who (at least thinks she) can do anything she puts her mind to. And OMFG I was so curious to see how the story line with Scarlet and all that's going on with Cinder was going to connect and I just got through that part and things are about to get super interesting.  Also I really love Thorne he's so damn charming. I do miss Kai I'm hoping there will be more of him in this second half of the book. And GOD BLESS IKO IS BACK I MISSED YOU GIRL
In summation: I'm loving these woven tales. Very intrigue.

I KNEW IT ("The Lunar Chronicles: Cinder" Part 2)

I finished "The Lunar Chronicles: Cinder" today and here's the standard WARNING I'M TERRIBLE AND SPOIL EVERYTHING okay you've been warned here we go.
It's  a good thing this story is a series because I am so in love with it like can I marry Kai? Or Cinder? No? Never mind.
The whole idea of there being a colony of people on the moon is so interesting. Like these people are so different from people from earth and it's so weird but so cool. I'm not sure I 100% understand their mind trick powers but it's super scary and makes me nervous. Also I'm totally not mad at the fact that the author made it painfully obvious (to me at least) that Cinder is actually Princess Selene. It put me on edge making me wait for the confirmation and made me want to read more. Sometimes I enjoy anticipation more than surprise in stories. It makes for a more satisfying read in my opinion.
I haven't read a YA series in a long time, probably since "The Hunger Games," that pulled me in like this one is. My heart is going to get stomped all over and I'm not sure I'm ready. But I'm excited.

And now we venture onto the second book "Scarlet" oh jeez

Cinder da Cyborg ("The Lunar Chronicles: Cinder" Part 1)

Alright so I'm about halfway through "Cinder" which you guessed it means UPDATE TIME WOOO
I'm loving this story so so so much. Many old fairy tales get retold and redone but don't usually end up being so different from the original. That is so not the case with this book. The aspects that are similar to "Cinderella" are basic: the fact she has a step mother and two step sisters, super hot prince everyone wants, and a dead father. Instead of animals being her companions, she has an android and instead of both of her sisters hating her just one of them does. Cinder is still told to do chores but instead of things like dusting and sweeping, Cinder has to do mechanical repairs. She's talented and smart. Plus omg LETUMOSIS GETTIN EVERYONE
There was a point a little over 100 pages into the book (WARNING THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE A SPOILER IDK YET) when I realized that Cinder is the missing Lunar princess. Okay, so it's still a theory but it's bound to be confirmed for me here soon. I just found out she's a lunar (oops).
All in all, so far I'm super into this series (trilogy? how many of these are there idk) and I can't wait to see how this book ends. WILL KAI AND CINDER DO THE BOOM BOOM??!?! Probably.
