The Lunar Chronicles By Marissa Meyer - Reading "Winter" March 10th 2019

[Mei]

Tara & Rachel (view spoiler)[Kai should have figured out that the med droids are taking the ID chips but if he did know about it, why didn't he do something about it? I know he's busy with Queen Levana's threat but still... (hide spoiler)]

[Mei]

Also, (view spoiler)[I miss Dr. Erland! I wonder what he's busy with now. (hide spoiler)]

[Mei]

90% Events are getting fast-paced now I couldn't follow! I'll reread this again to savor the chapters...

(view spoiler)[You're right. He should know what happens to them and if he doesn't he should find out. There his medical androids. (hide spoiler)]

Mei wrote: "Also, [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Me too! He was a great character. (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End of Chapter Twenty - Oh Mei I opened your 47% spoiler and it makes sense now (view spoiler)[who Michelle Benoit is and how Cinder and Scarlet may cross paths! Thanks for pointing it out! I can be a bit slow to realise things hahah (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yeah, I was thinking that he had to had known, but if they were retrieving the IDs for Luna Refugees, then I would guess that he could not have known. Then I thought they could be harvested to be destroyed (to keep from people grave-robbing), you know to insure identities were not being stolen, and then what she did would look really suspicious. Maybe they will talk about it more in the future. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I still hold out hope that Dr. Erland will enter the story again later in the book or in Cress. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Me too! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End of Chapter Twenty Seven:

(view spoiler)[So is Wolf Lunar or what?? Totally unexpected! I refuse to believe he would betray her like that even if they've only known each other for a day :*(

Shocked that Scarlet's dad got murdered...but he wasn't very likeable

Cmon Cinder, make your appearance soon! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End of Thirty Three: (view spoiler)[Poor Scarlet! Even I was tricked by that glamour of Scarlet's grandmother...

Cinder and Thorne are one step closer to finding Scarlet's grandmother... so suspenseful!! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End of Thirty Eight: (view spoiler)[Finally Scarlet finds her grandmother! What a sad scene. Her grandmother is so selfless :( (hide spoiler)]

[Tara]

Finished the book last night!
I was exhausted, but the last few chapters are really thrilling and I did not want to put down the book.
(view spoiler)[ The fight scene at the hover was so good! Cinder is so good, I hope in the next book she will start seeing how different she is from the queen. I am glad that Wolf is with them too and that the queen decided to disband the group, so it sounds like she will not have someone looking for him.
Oh, we get the answer to the question about the ID chips as well. I don't think that the countries know that the chips are being retrieved though, because why would the willing help this cause. I wonder if they just went in and and reprogrammed the droids, kind of like they did when they added the d-comm chip.
I am very excited for the next book... Hopefully I can pick it up next month. (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

End of Fourty Three: (view spoiler)[Nooo Queen Levana makes me sick.. Kai can't sacrifice himself! It's not even for the greater good. Someone has to put an end to this (Cinder & Scarlet!)

I wonder how Cress will come into play.. (hide spoiler)]

[Mei]

Finished it last night AND IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN CINDER!! Woo! Can't wait for Cress!! :)

[Christina]

Wowow
I'm finished too! I really really enjoyed this one
This sequel met all my expectations and moreeeee
Great cliffhanger

(view spoiler)[I really like the romance between scarlet and wolf
Alpha wolf and female hehe I like the sound of that

So cress was the queens programmer! Had a feeling after book one! It's creepy how Levana is training up an army of lunar/wolves

Looking forward to reading cress soon!
(hide spoiler)]

One question I need you guys to answer lol (view spoiler)[scarlet is part lunar right? Due to her grandfather? So she's like a shell? (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

@Christina I am looking forward to Cress too. I thought this was so much better than Cinder. I agree with (view spoiler)[Scarlet and Wold. Ship them completely! <3 (hide spoiler)]

Answer to your question: (view spoiler)[I don't think we really know because Scarlet herself isn't sure. I don't know if she is though because aren't Lunars immune to other Lunars' glamours and Sacrlet was fooled by Ran. I don't know though! (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

@Rachel
Hmm I see, that makes sense! Maybe we find out more in Cress...

(view spoiler)[I got used to the multiple POVs and it definitely adds excitement than just one POV :D (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

@Christina I hope so. I am pretty confused about it all. :)

(view spoiler)[I liked it more than just Cinder's POV too! I cannot wait to read Cress' (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

@Rachel
Are you buddy reading Cress next month? :D

[rachel, x]

Christina wrote: "@Rachel

I would love to but I doubt it will come in from the library by then. I wish I could though. Are you?? :)

[Christina]

@Rachel
It's on my bookshelf begging to be opened but it'll have to wait till next month. I hope I can buddy read it! This discussion board was filled with thoughts, I liked opening all the spoilers hehe

[rachel, x]

@Christina Oh poor you having to wait! :) Ahaha I know what you mean. Hopefully I will be able to join you. :)

[Mei]

Excited for Cress, too! I hope I pick up a copy soon. (view spoiler)[Cress was the queen's programmer? I didn't know that! Also, Thorne will be the romantic interest in Cress! Seems logical enough. He's quirky :D (hide spoiler)]

[rachel, x]

Mei wrote: "Excited for Cress, too! I hope I pick up a copy soon. [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yayy! I loved Thorne. Is Cress that lady that hacked Kai's android assistant?? (hide spoiler)]

[Christina]

@Mei
(view spoiler)[From what I remember in Cinder, it talked about the girls long hair xD
YES! I like Thorne
I hope to read some good romance between the two :D (hide spoiler)]

[Tara]

If I can get a hold of Cress, I will try to join you too. I saw your post on the looking for buddy readers thread and so I will look out for when you guys read it and join in if I can.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I might just read the queens army before starting this ☺

[Abi]

Have to do some baking now, so i'll be reading scarlet a bit slower.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

50% (view spoiler)[ yikes! Turning them into wolves! Must be awful to lose the sense of bioelectricity. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

end of chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ I think she's got a point. anyone could have dug her id chip out and left it! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

okay, I'm reading whilst cooking, which just for the record, can be pretty hazardous! chapter 7 (view spoiler)[ i didn't consider that Kai might think that cinder had been glamouring him! that is so sad! i don't want him to think that about her! this is such a mess :( (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

I tried so many times to read while i was baking. Didn't work out too well!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I know what you mean, i usually end up burning something!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 15 (view spoiler)[ I have to admit that i thought the same thing - why would the government programmed androids harvest the id chips? if they were being sold on the black market, it surely wouldn't be the government doing it! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ "How about you and ... a lion?"
I find that really funny! (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: " end of chapter 1 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ She defiantly has a point! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

What did you think to the queens army? (view spoiler)[ i thought it was a bit pants really. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Sarah wrote: "What did you think to the queens army? [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ It was alright. I got bored after a couple of pages though. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

(view spoiler)[ same. i thought it started out okay, then got pretty darn dull. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

end of chapter 20 (view spoiler)[ all this talk of wolves and packs, having to leave ones family behind, and being taken without choice is making me wonder whether wolf was supposed to be a member of the queen's army. the similarities between what he's describing and the queen's army novella are certainly suspicious. (hide spoiler)]

[Abi]

Chapter 15 - (view spoiler)[ Iko! Glad she's back, she's funny. :) (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Chapter 28 (view spoiler)[ dear me, she turns her in then asks for a reward?! What an evil *****! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 31 (view spoiler)[ ha ha! great! I wasn't expecting the suspended animation tank! (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

chapter 34 (view spoiler)[ i am so glad that wolf is still helping her! i didn't want to believe that he was betraying her. (hide spoiler)]

Okay, I here I started yesterday but could not get on because of internet connections.

[Abi]

Chapter 23 - (view spoiler)[ Loads of people have said they found this one better than Cinder, but they're about the same for me so far. (hide spoiler)]

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I couldn't tell much between them. Scarlet did get a bit better towards the middle (i thought it started out quite slow), but i rated them the same.

[Abi]

Yeah, Cinder just about beats scarlet for me because of the slow start in this.
Apart from the start though, they're about the same.
