Cress by Marissa Meyer
5.0
(Review from 2014) Meyer hits the ball out of the park with yet another utterly readable novel in this YA series. If you haven’t read any of my raves about this series, here you go. It is a sci-fi series based on fairy tales. Cinderella is a cyborg. Riding Hood flies spaceships. Rapunzel is a hacker who has lived in solitude on a shuttle almost her entire life. I’m not a huge sci-fi fan, but Meyer’s lovable versions of classic characters in a unique portrayal of a world gripped by a flu epidemic are just awesome. I haven’t met anyone who has read these books and not LOVED them. I’m so glad this is a five-book series and I’m trying to wait patiently for the fourth installment.
