Cress (The Lunar Chronicles Book 3)

family is growing
Its amazing as to watch how many new family members keeps joining the plot and manages to turn your world upside down while you are staying in this series. What started out as a story of cinder, cyborg girl has gone on to different plains and now it’s a story of a whole wide range of characters. The best part for me is that I am in love with all these characters even those who manages to come and go in a flash.I am so happy that I joined in the series so late because I am getting restless to re enter into the lunar world and the release date of the fourth book, Winter seems too far way in spite of being just months awayCress is by far the most voluminous book in the series and justified too as there are so many characters to appreciate and live with. It’s the simplicity of the book that captures and intrigues me. Imagine by the length of three books there are lots of characters but still I am pretty clear as to where each one stands as each characters in the book have their own purpose, their own space and individual story to tell and does not overpower each other. I love the ability of the author to maintain such efficiency in her plot development.I am actually waiting to see how with the fourth book, she will have to bring in new characters at the same time maintain all the goodness she has brought on along the course of these three books. So far this is the only series that I have seen doing a pretty good job at retelling. While it retains the basic elements of the fairy tales, the core book is much more than thatAs I have told before, it’s the theme and plot that impresses me. It’s the way in which she picks up a fairy tale and morphs and threads it so beautifully that it can easily merge itself into the series without feeling deliberately inserted.I am running short of words in praise of this series. Undoubtedly it is my favourite series of all time. The book is a different world in altogether and much more than a modern rendition of a classic fairytales. It’s evolved and grown so beautifully through three books that it had become completely unstoppable. Each book takes the plot far from the first one which makes the series the best. The language and the narration have a pearly touch, smooth and alluring. Can’t wait for this winter, when winter, the fourth book in the series will be released finally

What a ride!
The story that was building up from the last two books is finally getting somewhere. It is not the fairy tale ending yet but it gives us hope for one. Cinder and Kai have amazing understanding, even though they’re thousands of miles apart and Scarlet and Wolf are… doing their own thing.Thorne is my favorite character from the series and we see his character gain some depth. We also get to see him be selfless for once and possibly fall in love with the handiest and most adorable female of the crew. What’s better? She’s an ultimate fangirl so we can relate on a whole new level.Good job, Marissa Meyer.

Good
The spine is okay. It hasn't fallen apart till now. As the book is of about 552 pages, I thought pages might start to come off the spine with use. The pages are of normal quality. Not gonna exaggerate but book is overall fine. Story is something different. Story is not fine, it is brilliant. Fairy tale retelling. Third book of the Lunar Chronicles series. Must read ones. I bought it on Sep 22 2019. It's been almost an year and the book is still pretty good.

Especial
Sin duda Cress es la portada que menos me gusto de los 4 libros (en esta nueva edición) pero trae material extra y la ilustración con Throne lo compensa, una gran edición.

Loved it
I have read this series at least five times now. It’s brilliant and new. Every time I read the series, I’m just as enthralled as the first time I read them.

Il migliore della serie.
Assolutamente fantastico, soprattutto grazie al fatto che riconoscersi in Cress è facilissimo (e la sua cotta colossale per Thorne è troppo dolce).Cress e Thorne sono decisamente la mia coppia preferita delle Cronache lunari, non vedo l'ora di vedere come risolveranno le cose tra loro in Winter.In breve: Cinder continua a essere una super badass, Cinder e Thorne sono una delle mie brotp preferite, Kai continua a non capire niente e Wolf, Scarlet e Winter fanno di cognome Mai una gioia.

Un buen homenaje al cuento original
La saga continua sin bajar el nivel, al contrario, mejora con el avance de la trama y la incorporación de personajes, o mejor dicho, al ganar mayor protagonismo personajes ya conocidos, porque Cress, la versión de Rapunzel de esta historia ya tuvo una breve aparición en la historia. Aquí se incorporan muchos de los elementos del cuento original con una vuelta de tuerca que se adapta a la narración de forma creíble, y también se puede decir que la versión de Disney ha dejado su huella.En resumen, una lectura muy recomendable para los que les gusta los dos primeros libros, porque la acción no decae y los personajes te enamorarán.
