* "A great choice for all ages, with strong appeal for both girls and boys, these novels will be read and enjoyed--repeatedly." --VOYA, starred review * "It's another Marissa Meyer roller coaster ride, part science fiction/fantasy, part political machination with a hint of romance. Readers will be pushed into a horrific alternate universe where violence, especially mind manipulation and control, create ethical and life-threatening situations for both teens. With at least one more Lunar Chronicle to come, the suspense continues. And which fairy tale will Meyer morph next?" --"Booklist," starred review * "Returning fans of Meyer's "Cinder" will gladly sink their teeth into this ambitious, wholly satisfying sequel." --"Publishers Weekly," starred review "The author has stepped up the intrigue and plot from the first novel, and readers will be eagerly awaiting the next." --"School Library Journal""Further development of this futuristic world plus plenty of action, surprises, and a fast pace will keep readers invested in their journey." --"The Horn Book""The sci-fi elements are stronger than the fairy-tale allusions this time out, but the story remains just as absorbing. . . . Readers will be thrilled to discover that this steampunky fairy-tale/sci-fi mashup promises two more installments." --"BCCB"
