I am kind of excited that she seemingly has all the cards although I&#39;m not sure how that will end in the finale because obviously she can&#39;t win.Bookworm1858http://www.blogger.com/profile/03934853089105345052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7106129617600875420.post-41748735651468981412012-01-16T21:03:38.371-05:002012-01-16T21:03:38.371-05:00As far as I&#39;ve heard each book of the Lunar Chronicles WILL be a different fairy tale retelling. Up next is SCARLET which will include the Lunar &quot;werewolf&quot; mutations and Scarlet, a new character, so a retelling of Little Red Riding Hood. Book 3 is Cress, which will be a Rapunzel retelling, followed by Winter, a Snow White retelling.<br /><br />Personally, I found this book amazing. I loved the setting and the changes that Marissa made to make this a sci-fi. Adding the Lunar people gave it more meat and bones rather than not having them. I think it would have been quite boring.<br /><br />I too found the story line a bit predictable but overall I thoroughly enjoyed the story and can&#39;t wait for Scarlet.Jess (The Cozy Reader)http://www.blogger.com/profile/09952470536106390326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7106129617600875420.post-80536165254148828872012-01-16T15:05:44.130-05:002012-01-16T15:05:44.130-05:00It&#39;s refreshing to see a different opinion of the read. It&#39;s definitely frustrating when you can totally predict what&#39;s coming - and how it&#39;s going to get there. That&#39;s why you need rich details and creativity with a retelling, methinks. <br /><br />I haven&#39;t read it yet, but I will certainly keep your thoughts and points in mind when I do!lisa [the nerd]http://www.blogger.com/profile/14394196334860848380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7106129617600875420.post-19849593196765179442012-01-16T11:36:45.660-05:002012-01-16T11:36:45.660-05:00Sorry this one fell flat for you. I&#39;ve been reading a host of opinions about it, and I&#39;m anxiously awaiting its arrival in my mailbox. Can&#39;t wait to see where I fall on the love/hate continuum!Andihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7106129617600875420.post-23383425170768612272012-01-16T09:25:32.972-05:002012-01-16T09:25:32.972-05:00Aw, sorry you didn&#39;t like it. I can see what you&#39;re saying, especially about the Lunarians. Maybe the Queen will develop a bit more in the next installment. A very well-written and thought-out review!Mary @ BookSwarmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04099395167194720599noreply@blogger.com
