Series Review | The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer

I love the covers on this series! However, I am a little upset that all of ine are paperback except for Winter so the series is separated on my bookshelf 😦

I was highly impressed with how the basic elements of the fairytale were kept even though this new story was so incredibly different and modernized. I also love the way that each novel is broken down and prefaced with an excerpt from the original story.

In terms of novellas, I think the only one that I felt was out of place was the Little Android. I mean, it’s sort of a cool take on The Little Mermaid  but it contributed nothing to the series as a whole and felt kind of pointless.

Here are the individual review for each novel and novella:

• Glitches (#0.5) 3 stars
• The Little Android (#0.6) 2.75 stars
• Cinder (#1) 4 stars
• The Queen’s Army (#1.5) 3 stars
• Scarlet (#2) 3.5 stars
• Cress (#3) 3.5 stars
• Carswell’s Guide to Being Lucky (#3.1) 2 stars
• Fairest (3.5) 3 stars
• Winter (#4) 3 stars

This brings the average to about 3.1 stars. (3.4 without the novellas!) So……I recommend it.
