I finished Cress last night and I am rating it 4.5 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

Love this series. Cress is stuck in a satellite by an evil Thermator. She is rescued by Cinder Scarlett & co. & they set out to stop the evil Lunar queen (whose goal is to take over the world) from marrying Kai, Emperor of the world.
