“The world of the Lunar Chronicles comes alive in this thrilling continuation of Wires and Nerve. Iko―an audacious android and best friend to the Lunar Queen Cinder―has been tasked with hunting down Alpha Lysander Steele, the leader of a rogue band of bioengineered wolf-soldiers who threaten to undo the tenuous peace agreement between Earth and Luna. Unless Cinder can reverse the mutations that were forced on them years before, Steele and his soldiers plan to satisfy their monstrous appetites with a massacre of the innocent people of Earth.
And to show he’s serious, Steele is taking hostages.
Cinder and Kai, Scarlet and Wolf, Cress and Thorne, and Winter and Jacin all feature in this epic new battle. But it is Iko who must face her deepest fears when she uncovers the truth about her own unusual programming. Questions of love, friendship, and mortality take Iko on an emotional journey that will satisfy and delight fans of this bestselling series.”
This was a well done wrap-up to the Wires and Nerve series. It was fun to see all my favorite characters again. The story was a bit slow but decent. This wraps up the storyline started in the first volume about the Rogue werewolves.
The illustration style isn’t my favorite; it’s all in blue tones and is pretty simple. It is easy to follow though, and adds a lot to the story.
Overall this was a fun read that I enjoyed. It wraps up the story nicely and was good great addition to the overall Lunar Chronicles world. Fans of the Lunar Chronicles should definitely check our Nerves and Wires. I am still not a huge fan of the illustration style but it was easy to follow.
