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

RAPUNZEL, RAPUNZEL... er I mean Cress ("The Lunar Chronicles: Cress" Part 1)

Ugh I know I'm the slowest reader of all time but I'm FINALLY half way through "Cress" from "The Lunar Chronicles" and boy oh boy am I ready to start discussing. Also blah blah spoilers blah blah blah maybe blah idk.
I LOVE THIS BOOK OMG like this one might be my favorite from the series so far (I've found out it's not a trilogy like I originally thought more on that later). Cress is so adorable and has captured my heart. Behind Cinder, she's my favorite female character. I think I love her so much because she reminds me a lot of the way Rapunzel was portrayed in "Tangled." She's a bit naive and awkward and shy but so smart. Also all of her like internal fangirling and lusting towards Thorin is really adorable and I relate.
I'm glad that Cinder is finally in Africa with Dr. Erland. Maybe now they can get some real shit done. Wolf's fate is kind of in the balance and Scarlet is currently a hostage so I'm a bit worried. I hope their story isn't over so soon.
There was this moment with Kai and his wedding planner that I thought was really sweet. She like told him she's worried about him as a mother would be about her son I was like awwwww I'm glad someone is on his side. Also I want to choke him sometimes because CINDER IS SELENE YOU IDIOT. That's all I really want from this book. By the end, I want Kai to figure out that Cinder is the missing princess and it's okay to love her.
My friend told me recently that the next book in the series is going to center around Levana? and is going to be called "Mirror"????* Now, I love when people play with the ideas of good and evil and sort of blur the lines, making everything not so black and white. I love the way it's done with Regina AKA The Evil Queen in "Once Upon a Time" and what they did with Maleficent in the recent movie. HOWEVER I've grown to hate Levana so much that I don't want to be convinced she's not so bad after all. I don't want to grow any sympathy seeds for her.  She's awful and that's that YOU CAN'T MAKE ME LIKE HER, MARISSA!
In summation: Kelsey like. Kelsey like a lot.

also look how long my hair is oOoOoOoOo am I Rapunzel yet?

* in my copy of "Cress" it says the fourth book is going to be called "Winter" which I'm guessing refers to Princess Winter  idk what's going on 

WHO'S AFRAID OF THE BIG BAD WOLF?? (Hint: Me) ("The Lunar Chronicles: Scarlet" Part 2)

IT'S DISCUSSION TIME LET'S ALL SIT IN A CIRCLE and here is the standard warning that I may or may not be a big ole spoiler machine. Okay here we goooooooo
The pace of "Scarlet" was much faster than "Cinder" since the first book had a lot of ground work to lay down but it was nice that this one had so much action because of that. Usually characters don't really throw me off but Wolf totally did. I believed him 100% until they got back to the wolf pack headquarters then I was all ????? I had no idea what to think about him anymore. I definitely didn't want to believe that he would just betray Scarlet like that and that he felt nothing for her. Their little intimate scene in the train was so cute but a bit steamy at the same time. I loved it. I also appreciate that the author killed a character that she didn't get the reader attached to like SOME authors ( I'm lookin at you J.K. Rowling and George R.R. Martin) like to do. Although it was still a very sad scene. And omg can we talk about how poor Kai agreed to marry Levana because I am LIVID ABOUT THIS. Like Kai is doing what he thinks he has to do whatever but now he's kind of fucked over the entire planet. She's planning to just take over through becoming Empress of the Eastern commonwealth first and who the fuck knows what she's going to do after that. I hope he doesn't have to go through with it PLEASE DON'T DO IT KAI
Sigh okay I can't wait to read the third book yaaaaaaaayyyyy good series so excite

And next in the Lunar Chronicles "Cress" (duh)

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.

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.
