Cress by Marissa Meyer

Cress (Lunar Chronicles, #3)

by Marissa Meyer

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 high 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.

Next fairy tale to be tacked is Cinderella, which was kinda to be expected with a spaceship called Rampion. Cress is trapped in a satellite doing the bidding of Queen Levana, but she is engaging in small acts of rebellion and trying to subvert things. She's supporting Cinder and trying her best to ensure that Cinder's rebellion will come to pass.

Complicated but mostly a bridging novel, bringing characters together to lead to the resolution.
