The Lunar Chronicals
By Marissa Meyer
Genre: Young Adult Science Fiction/ Retelling
Personal Rating: 10/10

It's been a while since I posed anything because I have become utterly obsessed with this series. Once I started reading the second book, I didn't want to stop until I finished the entire story. I didn't want to post about each book individually, so I decided to wait until I finished each book and could give my thoughts on the entire series.

I honestly can't stress how much I recommend these books! It's a story that sounds kind of strange--fairy tales in space? But it is actually incredibly entertaining. Each book is a retelling of a famous fair tale--Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel, and Snow White--but it all takes place in a futuristic world. All the characters and their stories eventually intertwine as they all ban together to take down the tyrant queen of Luna--the city on the moon. There is a vast cast of characters with diverse looks, skills, and backgrounds, I loved reading about every one of them.

I was hesitant to read these books because I was intimidated by the length of this series. There are four books, each over 400 pages long, a novella, and a book of short stories. It seemed like a lot for one series, but once I got into the story, I was wanting more after every page turn. These books are also very clean. No swearing, no sex, nothing I'd be uncomfortable with my little sister reading. There is some violence, but I didn't think it was overly graphic at all. Bottom line: if you haven't read these books yet, pick them up now.
