Wires and Nerve Vol 1

Author: Marissa Meyer Series: Wires & Nerve #1 Rating: 3.5 / 5 stars Verdict: Borrow “What is best for the few is not always best for the many.” The gang is back!  Wires and Nerve is, in Meyer’s own words, fanfiction for her own writing.  It is a spinoff series of Lunar Chronicles that takes … More Wires and Nerve Vol 1

Heartless

Author: Marissa Meyer Rating: 3 / 5 stars Verdict: Borrow “The easiest way to steal something,” **** murmured, “is for it to be given willingly.” Disclaimer: Alice in Wonderland is not one of my favorite stories for retellings.  It is such a unique story full of ridiculous characters and nonsense.  So try to make sense … More Heartless

Winter

Author: Marissa Meyer Series: The Lunar Chronicles #4 Rating: 4 / 5 stars Verdict: Buy Winter came.  And it was long.  Good Gods, was it ever long.  823 pages long, to be precise.  EIGHT HUNDRED AND TWENTY-THREE pages, people.  It took me a day and a half of doing almost nothing but exclusively reading to … More Winter

Fairest

Author: Marissa Meyer Series: The Lunar Chronicles #0.5 Rating: 3.5 / 5 stars Verdict: Buy On one hand, I feel like Marissa Meyer has taken this national bestselling author on her debut novel a bit to her head, and it now flushing this series out for all that it’s worth.  Fairest, tallying only 222 pages … More Fairest

The Queen’s Army

Author: Marissa Meyer Series: The Lunar Chronicles #1.5 Rating: 3.5 / 5 stars Verdict: Borrow Ah, finally, a novella in the series worth reading, and a rather perfect way to finish out my 2014 reading list as I eagerly await the next installment(s) of the series coming in 2015. The Queen’s Army is the background … More The Queen’s Army

The Little Android

Author: Marissa Meyer Series: The Lunar Chronicles #0.6 Rating: 2 / 5 stars Verdict: Bury It wasn’t until just now as I opened the novellas’s page on Goodreads that I made the connection to The Little Mermaid.  If I hadn’t read the tagline of the synopsis that blatantly states that it is a retelling of … More The Little Android

Glitches

Author: Marissa Meyer Series: The Lunar Chronicles #0.5 Rating: 2.5 / 5 stars Verdict: Borrow As a self proclaimed fanatic of Meyer’s The Lunar Chronicles, I was thrilled when I found out her short stories/novellas ties to the series were available to read for free on Wattpad.  I started with Glitches, as I have been … More Glitches

Cress

Author: Marissa Meyer Series: The Lunar Chronicles #3 Rating: 4.5 / 5 stars Verdict: Buy Almost everything I thought Scarlet lacked, Cress delivered.  I don’t want to get into spoilers, so I will try to be generic and not go into any details (I know there are already more than enough spoilers out there as … More Cress

Scarlet

Author: Marissa Meyer Series: Lunar Chronicles Rating: 4 / 5 stars Verdict: Buy Scarlet may not be quite as good as Cinder was, but Meyer certainly does not suffer from a sophomore slump.  In Scarlet, we are introduced to a bunch of new characters, and our face time with Cinder is severely decreased.  Her “scenes” … More Scarlet

Cinder

Author: Marissa Meyer Series: Lunar Chronicles #1 Rating: 4.5/5 stars rating Verdict: Buy I had forgotten how much I enjoyed this novel until I just finished reading it again.  Not quite a fractured fairy tale (which I am always a sucker for), Meyer twists elements of Cinderella into this otherwise unique novel of a cyborg … More Cinder
