Hello. Hello. Hello, my dear ceiling fans.
Just kidding. None of you are even my fans - let's go with friends or readers of my blog. Even though, ceiling fans sounds so cool bahahaha.
I hope you are reading this with a smile on your face. I hope your day is going great! If it isn't... well, I hope that this has at least a little chance at brightening it.
I'm still trying to figure out what I'll do for this blog now, and how often. We are going to start with an attempt of once - maybe twice - a month. I think for this "issue" we are going to do a book review. If I do more than two posts a month, those posts will just be little updates. And, the type show won't count as the same thing as an issue.
So, let's get on with the review.
LLM's Review on the Lunar Chronicles
The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer was a great read. I read it over the course of several months. Or maybe more. I took a big break in the middle of the second book to read some other things. I found it very intriging. One of those kinds of books that just draws you in with every word.
The books started off with a girl named Cinder who isn't what you'd normally think of when you think of a teenage girl. She's a cyborg and mechanic at the young age of sixteen. She's thrown into adventures that turn up involving the past that she some how can't remember. The books may start off with only her, but soon there's a web of amazing characters that you'll love.
Marissa Meyer has a beautiful writing style that gave parts of the book a feel even like poetry with the perfectly crafted words. Sometimes it was hard to follow what was going on, but it always seemed to be purposeful with Meyer's beautiful words painting only a little bit of the picture to draw you in.
The Lunar Chronicles series, starting with Cinder, had very strong characters. No matter what your personality is like, you can see parts of yourself in the characters. The characters relationships, both platonic and romantic, developed well in a more realistic way. There's many strong characters of both genders. It gave the books power through the characters. Along with also showing friendships between girls and boys that had no romantic interest in each other.
These books have a plot full of twists and turns that may or may not see coming. The characters are thrown into adventures in this book. I guarantee that you'll be sucked into it as well. There's romance, friendships and plot twists that will make you fall in love with this futuristic world.
