Review A BOSTON GLOBE BEST BOOK OF 2017 "The Lunar Chronicles continue in this entertaining graphic novel sequel to the existing volumes. This follow-up to the futuristic fairy-tale retellings centers on Iko, cyborg mechanic Cinders best friend. Acclimating to her human body, the android is trying to help Queen Cinder of Luna ease tensions with Earth by hunting down rogue wolf-hybrid soldiers who were once enslaved by Cinders evil stepmother and have now been banished to the green planet." --School Library Journal "Meyer focuses on Iko, Cinders cheeky sidekick and an assassin agent sent to hunt down the wolf-soldier hybrids that are plaguing Earth. Unlike some of the previous novels, this story doesnt require preexisting knowledge of the series, easily catching up fans and new readers alike with capsule introductions to Cress and other members of the Rampion crew in a prologue. Iko is an entertainingly flippant yet formidable heroine, a former servant droid who now inhabits an escorts body and takes on bloodthirsty enemies as though she were invincible." --Publishers Weekly "Fans of The Lunar Chronicles and new readers alike will be delighted ... beloved worlds and characters have smoothly transitioned into graphic format, and a thorough character introduction and quick recap will help new readers feel right at home... Energetic and entertaining with the right balance of action, humor, and romance. Though Iko is the main protagonist, all of the major characters from the series are brought and employed wisely... Holgates dynamic yet monochromatic artwork supplements the snappy dialogue and captures the characters personalities and mannerisms beautifully." --VOYA, starred review Praise for The Lunar Chronicles: #1 New York Times Bestselling Series USA Today BestsellerPublishers Weekly Bestseller "A mash-up of fairy tales and science fiction...a cross between Cinderella, Terminator, and Star Wars."--Entertainment Weekly "Prince Charming among the cyborgs."--The Wall Street Journal "Terrific."--Los Angeles Times "Marissa Meyer rocks the fractured fairy tale genre."--The Seattle Times "Epic awesome." - Bustle "A binge-reading treat."--MTV "Takes the classic to a whole new level."--NPR Review Quote "The Lunar Chronicles continue in this entertaining graphic novel sequel to the existing volumes . This follow-up to the futuristic fairy-tale retellings centers on Iko, cyborg mechanic Cinders best friend. Acclimating to her human body, the android is trying to help Queen Cinder of Luna ease tensions with Earth by hunting down rogue wolf-hybrid soldiers who were once enslaved by Cinders evil stepmother and have now been banished to the green planet. Joined by other familiar characters (Cress, Winter, Thorne), loyal Iko defends the new queen against her enemies. Fans will be able to jump easily into this narrative and will welcome the protagonists humorous commentary and the friends camaraderie. Newcomers will be helped by a prologue that introduces all of the main characters and flashbacks that are sprinkled throughout. This first volume in a duology is split into seven chapters, each action-packed and fast-paced. The romantic tension building up between Iko and a protective royal guard not only is juicy but also speaks to deeper themes--humanity, loyalty, prejudice, sovereignty, and more. The blue and white monochromatic art lends itself well to the setting: a futuristic Earth and the Lunar kingdom. VERDICT The diverse cast, the charming dialogue, and the clean design make this sci-fi fantasy sequel a must-have for graphic novel and YA collections." -- School Library Journal " Meyer focuses on Iko, Cinders cheeky sidekick and an assassin agent sent to hunt down the wolf-soldier hybrids that are plaguing Earth.
