As I said in my previous blog post, this summer I visited my cousins in Canada, while I was there, as a true book worm, I went to a book store and I was amazed by how many books haven't come out in Croatia ( the joy of living in a small country). Anyways, my cousin suggested me to read The Lunar Chronicles. While I was there I read the first two parts, few days ago the third part came by mail (sent by my beloved cousin Gabriela), and I was soooooo happy. Today I finished reading it and I wanted to share my opinion with you :D This book has everything a good book should have- action, spaceships, fairy tale and a hint of love story. A lot of people probably wouldn't read it because it has a lot of SF elements and then there are people who don't like fairy tales, but once you start reading it you realize how amazing is Marissa Meyer's writing and how amazing she combined everything together without getting boring... Is a futuristic dystopian series, a mash up between The Terminator, Star wars and, well, a fairy tale. The thing that makes a book even more interesting is the fact that the writer didn't made up a new fairy tale, but is using four well known ones. Cinder, the first book of the series, is based on Cinderella. Scarlet, the second book, is based on The Little Red Riding Hood. Cress, the third one, is based on Rapunzel, and Winter the last one, that didn't came out yet will be based on Snow White. Now I'm not going to spoil it for you by writing about what happens in book, to find that out you will have to read them yourselves. But the book is on my top five list and I have enjoyed reading it. I also can't wait to winter to came out which is in November 2015, for more details go on Marissa Meyer's page here.
