Cursed Review
Cursed starts right where the action left on, the stakes high as Serilda submitted to the Erlking’s proposal, become his wife, pretend her unborn child is his and obey almost all his wishes until Percheta returns. Then he could gift his evil huntress Serilda’s baby and dispose of Serilda herself. It will all be worth…

The Lunar Chronicles: Stars Above Review
With this lovely anthology of stories, Meyer returns to the world of the Lunar Chronicles, filling in the gaps, revealing angst, sweetness and turning point moments in their lives.

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.

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.

Gilded Review
We’re back in Meyer’s fairytale world and this time she thoroughly delves into the tale of Rumpelstilskin, creating a distinct new world that unexpectedly fits in with the Halloween season considering the haunted castles and undead creatures that populate it.

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.
