Before starting my review, I would like to apologize to my readers for posting a blank post for this review a few weeks back. With my pending vacation (I am still on said vacay), I was unaware that I set this review to post when I haven’t even written it! So, please pardon my flightiness!
My Thoughts
Warning: This review may contain spoilers
Since I read Scarlet, I have been super excited to read Cress because let’s face it, Thorn is a very interesting character! In fact, I was hoping that Thorn would be the hero in this book. I was not disappointed!
Before I fangirl over Thorn (I try not to fangirl when I review but sometimes, these things just slip!), I would like to say that I enjoy this series so much. Now, with Cress, another book based off on the fairy tale Rapunzel, I am in awe with Miss Meyer. Again, she has seamlessly blended three fairy tales (and a fourth to come) together to make one cohesive theme. I love how she wrote Cress (Rapunzel) and added sci-fi themes without thoroughly changing the whole Rapunzel fairy tale.
I love her ingenuity when she added the part where Thorn actually lost his sight! I was wondering how she could incorporate that bit into the book and I am glad how she did it.
The only thing I hated about this book was the main heroine, Cress. Granting that she was alone for a good part of her life, I thought she was a little bit annoying. There were times in the book, especially the time when she was stuck with Thorne that I wanted to shake her. She actually redeemed herself a little as the story went along but still, she was pretty annoying.
By the end of this book, we anticipate that there would be all out war in the next book. I am very excited with this development and I am hoping that the next book, Winter, will be as amazing as the previous ones!
The Audiobook
Again, narrated by Rebecca Soler, this book was amazing! She really brought the book to another level and made the listening very enjoyable.
