The third book in Marissa Meyer’s New York Times/USA Today-bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, inspired by Rapunzel.

Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army.

Their best hope lies with Cress, who has been trapped on a satellite since childhood with only 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 goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing stop her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only ones who can.

Reveal review (contains spoilers)

Mind. Blown.
"Cress" - the 3rd "Lunar Chronicles" book - is a lot longer compared to "Cinder" (book 1) or even "Scarlet" (book 2) and very worth the read!
[BIG SPOILER ALERT for CINDER, SCARLET & CRESS] When I finished reading "Scarlet", I expected that the series would continue to move across the following weeks until Emperor Kai and Queen Levana's coronation - that seemed logical to me. The coronation, I thought, would happen nearing the end of "Winter", the fourth and final novel. But that was wrong and I have to say, this book was so much better than the other two - that were also good, I think. But with "Cress", Meyer really surprised me a lot and the final quarter of the book was amazing. I found the last two chapters were especially ... entertaining. It's good that Kai finally knows the truth. [END SPOILER ALERT]
I really can't wait for "Winter".
