• The Lunar Chronicles: Fairest Review

  Meyer does it again with this prequel to her popular Lunar Chronicles series. Fairest is technically a prequel as it sets up events years before Cinder but it was released between Cress and Winter. But since it’s such a stand-alone you can read it before, after or in between. The main point is to give…

• The Lunar Chronicles: Gone Rogue Review

  The conclusion to Wires and Nerve has Iko and her resentful new collegue Liam Kinney to face Alpha Steele’s threats once and for all. The prologue/recap starts the book with an action movie tone that gives readers a hint of one hell of ride coming up.

• Heartless Review

  Meyer steps away from the sci-fi landscape of Luna society and Earth to step into a world of magical realism where Victorian-era human characters chat with talking candles and animal beings in this tale of hearts stolen and broken.

• The Lunar Chronicles: Wire and Nerve Review

  This graphic novel continuation of the Lunar Chronicles puts Iko in the spotlight which is a relief as the android realizes she is the forgotten Earthen hero of the war.

• The Lunar Chronicles: Winter Review

  Now it might be typical for me to say that a YA book about a ordinary girl becoming the face of a revolution reminds me of The Hunger Games. But it does. It’s a testament to Meyer’s skill because like Collins’ Hunger Games trilogy she doesn’t sugarcoat the ugly aspects of war and revolution. Poor…

• The Lunar Chronicles: Cress Review

  I really enjoyed Meyer’s take on the classic Rapunzel tale in Cress, giving further insight to the turncoat shell and hacker, Crescent Moon as well as giving Thorne some spotlight as well.

• The Lunar Chronicles: Scarlet Review

  Meyer creates a spooky horror atmosphere in her sophmore adventure of The Lunar Chronicles that continues the adventures of fugitive Cinder and takes on the Red Riding Hood tale.

• The Lunar Chronicles: Cinder Review

  Theere have been lots of good buzz and review of the Lunar Chronicles and finally I have started the epic saga of Earth versus the Lunar society and the fairytale-inspired characters who unite to stop it.

• Princess Academy Review

  I am on a roll here with yet another childhood staple (and Newbery Honor winner) I missed when I was young. I’ll admit I skipped it because I thought it was yet another Cinderella adaptation. Those are everywhere! But I was wrong and I’m glad I finally did read this. Hale’s wholly original tale takes…

• Book Highlight: The Tale of Despereaux

  I finally read this Kate DiCamillo classic. I admit I vaguely knew the story since I had the graphic novel adaptation of the movie but we all know movie’s take artistic liberties so I was interested to see what changed and what stayed the same. While I found the narrator addressing the readers a bit…
