Cress

Title: Cress
Author: Marissa Meyer
Rating: 3/5

Description:
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.

My Review:

It wasn't a bad story I just wish there was more to Cress's story in it... I mean Scarlett barely had a lot of the others in it... I think so far that's my fav book in this series... I wanted to like Cress... but they didn't go into a lot about her- at least not a lot. And the next book Winter... oh boy about Winter she is seriously strange but that is for another month! :)

Fall Into Fantasy Readathon

Shadow and Bone

Title: Shadow and Bone
Author: Leigh Bardugo
Rating: 4/5

Description:
Surrounded by enemies, the once-great nation of Ravka has been torn in two by the Shadow Fold, a swath of near impenetrable darkness crawling with monsters who feast on human flesh. Now its fate may rest on the shoulders of one lonely refugee.

Alina Starkov has never been good at anything. But when her regiment is attacked on the Fold and her best friend is brutally injured, Alina reveals a dormant power that saves his life—a power that could be the key to setting her war-ravaged country free. Wrenched from everything she knows, Alina is whisked away to the royal court to be trained as a member of the Grisha, the magical elite led by the mysterious Darkling.

Yet nothing in this lavish world is what it seems. With darkness looming and an entire kingdom depending on her untamed power, Alina will have to confront the secrets of the Grisha . . . and the secrets of her heart.

My Review: This book was pretty good, not sure why I waited til now to start this series. Only problem I had with it was not liking the main character and the romance was not really needed for this story and went nowhere... but the world is cool and powers... interested in that. Also this was for a readalong… I'm deciding if I should continue it... if I do I need book 2 and 3!
