Plot:
So, we've had Cinderella and Red Riding Hood, where do you go from there? Rapunzel! Plot twist: she hasn't been stranded in a tower her whole life, but in a satelittle in space. Also, she's a really good computer hacker. I thought it was a really fascinating take on the story of Rapunzel and I think it wove in really well with the already established storyline. One thing I really love about this series is how well is does foreshadowing, which really came to light in this book. The previous books set up the introduction of Cress really well with things like the COMM chip Cinder's been carrying and the idea that Lunars could hide their ships from trackers with their Lunars gifts (which actually ended up always being Cress doing it). I just think it's really intelligent writing and gives the overarching story a much fuller feel. And I also think this novel did a lot of little things and dropped some hints to set up the grande finale of the series.
