In this third book in the Lunar Chronicles, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they're plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army. Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl imprisoned on a satellite since childhood who's only ever had her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker. Unfortunately, she's just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice. When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a higher price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.

    This book was great! It had all of the adventure of Cinder and Scarlet and a little bit more romance. If you had any interest in the first 2 books, you NEED to read this!

    Cress

    - this was a long book, but still fun and full of plot. Again very fast-paced, we bounce from locale/point of View easily and it is all entertaining

    - Cress herself was so charming: likable and naive but also brave and full of love too. I saw her and Thorne coming from a long way, but I liked him as a love interest. He was full of himself but not perfect, it was very interesting to me to have him "disprove" the good qualities that Cress saw in him, since we the reader already like him and know that he is a good guy

    - the biggest complaints I am seeing are on the plot/pacing (I didn't have a problem here); predictability (but they all have been?); and stupidity of characters-- okay, they're teenagers, this is young adult, what are you expecting here? I thought that Cinder is improving and that they come up with at least a half-assed plan

    - I feel like I got what I came here for, a good time
