Wires and Nerve

The Lunar Chronicles is one of my favorites series, and I adored Iko. As soon as I saw Wires and Nerves I had to grab the duology.

This brings back all the love for the series and more. Iko is such a fun character and I really enjoyed reading from her perspective and hearing more from her in general.

From the beginning of me reading g the lunar chronicles I always dreamed I had a friend like Iko she is fun, beautiful, smart, kind and above all loyal and more human than any human I ever meet ❤ and I always hoped for her happiness and I really love the comic and was soooo happy to read it

New insult for lunar people: Crater brain

2.5 stars This was super disappointing :/ I love The Lunar Chronicles and I was so happy to get to read about the characters again, but ehhh. It felt as though these were not the same characters at all, the plot was pretty lacking, and I didn't really enjoy the artwork.

It was entertaining, but I didn't feel like there was a ton of content. It was great to revisit all of the characters and I'm looking forward to the next one.

Good for fans of the series, but it doesn't even begin to compare to the actual books.

OMG I need the next one like right now!!! I missed these characters and this world so much. Why can we not have more Lunar Chronicles???

—Actual review to come.

《I'm resilient, I'm trustworthy and I would do anything for Cinder. So why shouldn't it be me?》

I'm so disappointed :(
I thought I could overcome the drawing style of this graphic novel but nah, the more I went on reading, the more I disliked it.
The worst of it is that I had the feeling that the characters have been deprived of everything that made them look perfect to me. They didn't seem like themselves and it's such a pity :(
Don't misunderstand, it still has been enjoyable, but I think it lacked something: it wasn't as entertaining as the books (I know, the format is different, but still meh.).

Anyway, I'm SO excited because I shipped Iko and Kinney from the very beginning lol. I can't wait to see when they'll put their shit together just because ♥

I will surely read the next volume, but I hope it will be far better than this one!

So, in the months following Winter, life has progressed as one would expect – Cinder has strengthened her position on the Moon, Scarlet's returned to the farm with Ze'ev Kesley, and Cress and the Captain are touring Earth. One of the loose strings that Meyer left hanging was the fate of the Lunar military troops all over Earth. They're still out there, causing trouble.

Cinder can't send any troops down – in the aftermath of a failed invasion, the optics alone would be bad. But . . . she can send a single operative, and Iko nominates herself for that. She spends weeks taking out pack after pack, helping local authorities take them into custody.

But they're not just going to roll over, there are some that are preparing to strike back against Iko – and Cinder.

Throw in a love story, an examination of Iko's true nature, and some nice catch-up with our old friends, and you've got yourself a fun story. It's fun, but it's light. If it were prose instead of a graphic novel, it might take 40 pages to tell this story. Which doesn't make it bad, just slight.

The art was . . . oh, I don't know – cartoonish? Not in a bad way, but I see why some people I know weren't impressed. Once I got used to it (after about 30-40 pages), I even kind of liked it.

Basically, I'm saying that the book was okay – I enjoyed it, but man, I wanted more. At the same time, I think it delivered everything that Meyer and Holgate were looking for, so I can't complain. Fans of the series may enjoy it, but it's not a must read. People who haven't read the books had best avoid it – but should probably go back and read the novels.
