It is with great pleasure that I review the fourth book in Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles. 
 I admit, I didn't really want to hop on the EEEH, Cress is AMAZING bandwagon, but guys... 
 Cress IS SO GOOD! So good! Everything that I loved about Cinder was there and everything I didn't like about Scarlet was gone. It was just one perfect, pleasurable, fangirly ride. 
 First of all, let's pan back and look at what this series is composed of. It's a series of science-fiction, futuristic, fairy-tale retellings. It's a series that has the potential to be pure awesome. 
 And for once, that potential is actually kind of met. (Except in Scarlet but I'll stop talking about that now.) 
 Anyway, so, meet Cress. Poor girl locked away in a satellite for all eternity, growing a rather wild mane of hair at the same time. What will her task be in Cress? How will she further the plot along and add conflict? Well, I can't tell you, but know this: There is plot! There is adventure! There are cyborgs and awesome thieves, and robots, and, and, and. 
 And I need to get it together or else this review won't have even a semblance of order. 
 Breathe in, breathe out. 
 Okay. So. There is a plot. Yes, a good plot. One goal met. 
 There are also characters. Good characters, bad characters. A lot of amazingly, wonderful characters. Cinder and Kai were both their amazing selves that we met in Cinder just a little older. Both are feeling the responsibilities on their shoulders and both are constantly growing as people and cyborgs. 
 We have Wolf and Scarlet. Wolf was suitably lame and DID NOTHING the entire book, so yeah, not too impressed there, but there are loads of other characters to love in the meanwhile. 
 Like Thorne. Oh, Thorne. 
 Let's take a quick breather. 
 Thorne is so... So... Magnificently, arrogant, cocky, hilarious, and sweet. I love that guy. He's a great character and I just adored reading about him. 
 But Cress is the best. Her naivety, her childishness, her social-awkardness that arose from living in a satellite by herself for years, and her simple innocence, and her plain, technological genius. All of it came together to create a flawed, but very real character. I was rooting for Cress the entire time. She made this book for me. 
 What more do I need to say to convince you? That there are awesome tie-backs to the original fairy-tales? That there is action? That the characters are deep and wonderful and also horrible? That it's just a magnificent novel? Go read it!
