★★★☆☆
3 out of 5 stars
In this third book in the Lunar Chronicles, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, now with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army.
Their best hope lies with Cress, a girl imprisoned on a satellite since childhood who's only ever had her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker. Unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice.
When a daring rescue of Cress goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing prevent her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only hope the world has.

Gonna keep this one short.
This book was OK, but just OK. I have a hard time dealing with the fact that all the heroine's stories in the series were written with the same exact formula: orphans with a guardian (stepmother, grandmother, mistress), females been extremely good at what they do (mechanics, farming, hacking), have a crush on a cute guy and have a possible impossible love story (Kai, Wolf, Thorn). Really? So we have 3 books with minimum action and the exact same story adjusted to three different characters that end up being the same and having codependency tendencies? Could this series be more obvious?
