4.5 Stars! 
 After learning that she was used by Sybil and the Queen in killing Earthens, Cress started helping out Cinder Linh. She had been deflecting the satellite trackers to keep the Rampion from being seen by the Earthen and Lunar authorities. Cinder and the gang are preparing to oust Queen Levana from her throne thus preventing the Kai-Levana union and quite possibly saving the world from the Lunar Queen tyranny. Cinder contacted the being who helped them--- Cress. She and the team decided that Cress is too valuable to stay as a prisoner by Queen Levana and attempted to rescue her. However, when they arrived in Cress' satellite they encountered Sybil and her bodyguard Jacin. Hell broke lose, Thorne and Cress crashed to the Earth, Wolf was terribly wounded, and Scarlet was taken to Lunar as a prisoner. Not knowing whether her allies are dead or alive, Cinder continued their plan to stop the royal wedding. 
 The new character, Cress is pretty much like the original Rapunzel but with a Lunar twist. She lives alone in a satellite with little sister,(her 10 year old self) computer game as her company. She's freaking adorable! Since she's never been to Earth, almost everything she sees on Earth fascinates her and she have a major crush on Captain Thorne. 
 I have always liked Thorne because of his funny character. He didn't disappoint in this book. His personality meshed well with Cress'. 
 "I'm sorry, it's just..." She tried to stamp down the rush of emotion. "I think we're in a desert." 
 "Cactuses and tumbleweeds?" 
 "No. Just a lot of sand. It's kind of orangish-gold, with hints of pink, and I can see tiny clouds of it floating above the ground, like ... like smoke." 
 "Piled up in lots of hills?" 
 "Yes, exactly! And it's beautiful." 
 Thorne snorted. "If this is how you feel about a desert, I can't wait until you see your first real tree. Your mind will explode."
