Cress was so completely awesome!!! Honestly, I think it might be my favorite in the series so far. Cress has such an interesting story, and I LOVE what Meyer did with the Rapunzel story. And how it connects to Cinder's story...goodness, I wasn't expecting some of the things that came up in this book! 
 I was surprised I loved Cress so much, considering how I excited I was and how much I had hyped up the book. It definitely exceeded the already high expectations I had for Cress. I just love how things from the first two books that I didn't even think about come up in Cress (like something Dr. Erland mentioned about his daughter in Cinder) and how many connections there are between the characters and everything that's going on. 
 There's so much action and I liked that we had several different POV's- Cinder, Scarlet and Cress, and it worked really well! Especially because they all have their own part in trying to put a stop to Kai's wedding to Queen Levana. 
 Let's start with Cress! I just love her story, and I really do love her story the most. I found her to be really sympathetic and lovable, and I felt bad that she was on a satelite for so long with only a few visits from Sybil, who worked closely with Queen Levana. 
 I also liked Scarlet's story, especially when she meets Winter, who will be the focus of the next book. Which I am anxiously awaiting, because hers another story I think I'll love. I like Cinder a lot, but I was so interested in what was going on with everyone else that I didn't pay too much attention to Cinder herself. We certainly learn some things when Cress focuses on Cinder, but I wasn't as interested in her story as I had been with the other books. 
 Cress is such an awesome book, and it really makes an already awesome series even more awesome. Plus, it's easily my favorite cover in the series. And I like how the covers all incorporate a really important element from the original fairy tale- a shoe from Cinderella, the cloak from Little Red Riding Hood, and Rapunzel's hair. Even more cool is how the shoe, the cloak, and the hair tie are all red. 
 Let's Rate It: Cress is such an amazing addition to the series, and I'm so excited to read Winter! I love how Meyer re-told Rapunzel, and Cress is easily my favorite book in the series so far. Cress gets 5 stars.
