• The Scorch Trials Review

  Thomas and the rest of the Gladers had thought that things were going to be okay now that they got out of the Maze. But after only 24 hours of rest, they are thrust into a new trials because it turns WICKED’s machinations turn out to be less than altrustic. What do you expect with…

• The Maze Runner Review

  I had thought I completed my 2000s dystopian binge when I finished the Matched trilogy but I realized I would be remissed if I hadn’t read The Maze Runner. So in I go to the maze with very little idea of what it is really about. Only to find Dashner’s world to be a dangerous…

• Gamora and Nebula: Sisters in Arms Review

  I know, I know I have said I am not much of a Marvel fan but I enjoyed Lee’s nonfiction works and I have a passing knowledge of Guardians of the Galaxy due to my roommate watching them. With basic knowledge of the characters, I felt like this book would be a easy intro since…

• 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.

• 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.
