I need to read this, apparently.
I found the book absolutely amazing! If you do a book review I'll definitely watch it. Thank you for your amazing videos.
I expect more from you Ariel... really... ;) jk
I was kind of surprised when I noticed that Kai actually loved his father because in every single book the price hates his farther (king). It was so funny reading this book
Lol I was thinking the same thing
Prince Joffrey, Prince Dorian... I see it.
& prince Maxon
^ The Selection isn't a Cinderella retelling though
I mean people have described it as kinda Cinderella-ish and Kiera Cass was partially inspired by that, but it's not really supposed to be the story of Cinderella so
Eden Gallagher they didnt say cinderella retelling book, they just said princes in books lol
Cinder being the princess was the most obvious thing ever
***** I knew she was the lunar princess when she looked at the moon for the first time and started talking about her lol.
***** It was, everyone also thought so...
IKR I was hoping she wasn't the princess bc it would be way too predictable :/
jamsa101 me too
Amanda Queiroga I think it was meant to build the tension. As it was obvious to the reader but not to the characters. So there was a lot of building up to Cinder FINALLY finding out. I think it was more enjoyable because it was predictable.
SO ARE WE JUST NOT GOING TO ADDRESS PEONY? OK.
I cried hot ugly tears. PEONY WAS INNOCENT AND SHE DESERVED A DANCE WITH KAI.
I KNOW!
Ava Suarez I LOVED HER WAAAAAY TO MUCH
she's really precious 😭
I legit wasnt expecting her and Cinder to be friends😂. But she was so precious. She was soooo kind to Cinder. I loved her so much❤😢
SCIFI TWIST AND DROP. looool. I don't know if I'll ever read this book. MERP.
do it! sry, it's really good! If you like farytails, sailor moon and sci-fi, it's a book for you
You should do it. I was really skeptical about reading the books but I did and I loved them.
You need to read it!!! It's so good, it's fantastic!!! :D
you did
I was hesitant about it but I read it and it's great!
Only read Cinder, so don't blame me if I'm wrong, but Dr. Erland's daughter's name is Crescent Moon.. Cress... Anyone else got that?
Yeah i also thpught of that!
i finished cinder about 5 freaking minutes ago, and earlier when I was reading it, when Dr. Erland talked about his daughter Crescent Moon.. I was like OMG IT'S FREAKING CRESS HOLY CRAP! And like.. I really liked the pretty obvious yet spaced out foreshadowing!!! I loved this book, asdfghjkl
You spoiled my life xD
I only found out at the start of cress (before everyone found out)
That’s what I thought!
I finally read Cinder and now I'm having THE WORST BOOKHANGOVER. I love it some much. I did see that Cinder was going to be Princess Selene from all the clues. I'm very looking forward to scarlet. I just ordered it!
Even I can't look at these comments! STOP SPOILING I'M ONLY ON SCARLETT!!! You and your sci-fi weirdness, but I applaud you for finishing Cinder! Now all you have to do is continue on... AND NOT STOP! When you start Scarlett, you should totally picture Holland Roden! Cause she's perf, and I've gotten past our incident // LOL!
Who else is marathoning these book talks to get ready for Winter?
me! I have to read it but I can't recall any of the first ones.
I feel like Iko is the fairy god mother figure.
I died inside when she found iko's part torn to pieces
Iko is the Fairy Godmother because she saved Peony's dress and Cinders old foot and without those things she wouldn't have been able to go to the ball.
Sandra Flores exactly. she also helped her through everything in the entire series, was all insistent on her wearing dresses and everything.
Baylee Silverwolf me too:(
oh. my. god. I never even thought about that
when the story is saying princess selene might be alive i was like: okay thats cinder thats it we could all go home
but i enjoy it
SPOILER ALERT!
I also totally guessed that cinder was the lunar princess early on. I was kinda disappointed that I figured it out so early.
+Alisha Lauritsen same
It was a little obvious. Haha.
+Alisha Lauritsen Figured it out halfway through, i was just thinking "but what if she's the princess?"
+Thesebookfeels
me too I questioned myself a lot with that but I loved the book and I literally just finished it
I figured it out as soon as they said they only found parts of the princess. Like cinder has metallic parts lol yeah it was super obvious :(
If they make a movie, I am voting for you to be Iko PLEASE. I can totally see you fangirling over Kai and screaming at Cinder for not going to the ball
I always pronounced Iko like Eeko.
Me too
I do too.
Same
That IS how you read it. Eeko.
I pronounce Nainsi Nancy.
I guessed cinder was the lost princess right away
So glad you loved it! The Lunar Chronicles are one of my favourite series, I love them so much and so I'm really excited to hear your thoughts on Scarlet & Cress :D Oh, and the 4th one is called Winter, who is Snow White ;)
OMG this is one of my FAVE books/series I love it SOOO Much and CANNOT wait til 2015 for Winter.
Before I even began reading this book I knew cinder was a princess. I mean like come on, This book is like a recreation of Cinderella. And obviously she's gonna be an outcast so why not start this book and saying she's a cyborg and also adding to that, why not near the end make her lunar as well. So I knew since there was an evil queen, cinder was gonna be the missing princess because this queen is freaking evil and has manulation-like powers, why would you not be suspicious?
yes, the book was very predictable but idk what the fuss about it is? It's an adaptation to a Very popular story-book princess, don't be surprised. This book is easily one of my favourites. It was well written and the plot was great, I personally don't have any complaints.
*SPOILER ALERT*
I was speculating that Cinder was Selene right when she mentioned her (like, oh, random conspiracy theory time that *totally* has nothing to do with the story! Yeah, nice try there, Meyer), but I knew for _sure_ (around page 64) when Dr. Erland mentions how sophisticated her cyborg programming was, and I thought, "Wait, the government wouldn't have this advanced stuff for an ordinary girl. She HAS to be the Princess!"
So, yeah. I was kind of disappointed that it was obvious, too (at least to me), but the dramatic irony it created wasn't extremely annoying. For instance, some books will have the character pondering for paragraphs upon _paragraphs_ wondering, "Oh, I wonder who I really am, how could I solve this problem, etc."
And I'm over here screaming at the book "OH MY GOSH HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE FIGURED THIS OUT YOU IDIOT!!!!"
I could totally relate. I knew she was Selene at like page 50 something when Peony caught the plague and she wasn't infected like wth? Plus there were a lot of things she was always different from; it was SO predictable. I had high expectations.
Ikr figuring it out was too easyxD
I read Cress in seven hours and it took me a week to read the whole series. Winter is the fourth book! You will love Cress!
Ilysm Christine! Whenever I read a book and I have my feelings just like running all over the place, the first thing I do is search if you have a book talk on it, and then if you do, I watch it. You just sum all my feelings up, girl.
Cinder - a mechanic
Scarlet - a pilot
Cress - a hacker
These girls kick a$$. I love how tough and resourceful they are. No way are they damsels in distress.
Yeah, I knew Cinder was Lunar AND the princess since the prince had mentioned it.
If your wondering what Scarlet does, she sells produce... because she's just cool like that. Also, the last book in the quartet is called Winter, and it's about Snow White.
Cinder & Prince Kai omg I need them to be together! I love Kai a lot ahh
normally, I would never pick up a book about robots because that kind of thing kind of makes me cringe lol, but you have a way of making almost every book sound interesting and worth checking out. Ever since I started watching your videos, my TBR pile has gotten so much bigger it's not even funny! I have way too many books to read! BUT, I love it!! thanks for all the awesome recommendations!
u should totally read it tho. i mean at first I was very iffy about it bc it had A LOT of robot technology slang and it seemed really weird to me, but it's actually really not like that. it's just advanced technology really
god i read cinder like a couple of years ago, i think, so i don't remember it very well. i remember thinking it was pretty predictable, but still enjoyable. like cinder being the lost princess--that was p obvious. and i remember not really liking kai. i think i'll give this one a reread before going into scarlet. great review, christine! glad you enjoyed it!
Yea I remember reading it and him mentioning the princess and I'm like oh it's cinder I called it . Get to the back and woe and behold she's the princess. But I still liked it
It is November 2016 and I am finally reading the Lunar Chronicles. I am really behind on this craze.
Literally, I watch your booktalks immediately after reading the book. Well, if you have a booktalk on it. And usually, you do. And it just makes me excited! I finished Cinder seconds ago...
I thought that the Fairy Godmother figure was the Dr. I think that it is him because he granted her the money so that she could go to the ball. Also, he really helped her so much throughout the book. I don't know??😂
Literally someone above you said she thinks Iko is the Fairy Godmother figure in the book😂. But like how though? I mostly agree with yours😂
Now I'm imagining doctor Erland in a dress and with a wand granting her wishes like "bibidybobidyboo".
I love how either you, merphy or book owl have left reviews for almost everything I read. I need more bookish friends! I loved this book
Watching these before I start Winter to get pumped
Now I don't feel speical that I predicted Cidner was the princess XD
same, the fist time they talked about the missing princess I was like... Cinder is Selene isn't she?
same. I was hoping for a plot twist. But that was the only one so I was disappointed :(
Same here....I guessed it beforehand and wasn't a bit shocked when Dr. Erland tells her that she is Selene....
me too I was like I know you're the princess since page 100
Juliejustdance now im ruined bc I haven't read it
I haven't read Cress yet but I've read Scarlet and Cinder. Did anyone notice in Cinder how the doctor was thinking about his daughter and he called her his Crescent moon? Cress... Crescent... Lunars...
Am i the only one who didn't figure out that cinder was the princess until the end?! 😂😂😂
no I didn't I was so caught off guard lmao
No, I had no idea
Yea I think you are the only one
Sameee
i didn’t either and now i feel stupid 😭
I laughed so hard when she said Dr. Earwig.
One of my favorite series!! Glad you liked it! I'm so excited for the Scarlet review
The 4th book is called Winter and is based on Snow White and she lives on the moon!!!
I'm in the middle of cress right now! Omg this series just gets better and better as it goes. You will love it!
yes I would love to be lunar. I'd go to earth and go to a store and be like hey bro give me some chocolate on the house. boom. done. free chocolate. what's not to like?
It would be awesome
Id go to a bookstore and brainwash the sellers to giving me free books😂
Ya I made the Cinder-Selene connection right away
I've been refreshing my subscription feed all day for this !!! I'm glad you liked it , now I will pick it up :D
OMG I loved iko. wish she didn't "die" . hope she comes back
Scarlet Spoilers
I am half way through Scarlet, but on page 40 something, I already guess that Scarlett's grandfather helped deliver Cinder to Earth. If I am wrong I apologize in advance. 😂😂😂😂
My favorite part was the scene in the palace's elevator. SO MUCH ROMANTIC TENSION. I loved it.
YES!!! I loved that scene, too!!
Cinder is like Twilight Sparkle and Iko is Spike
I don't know if someone already said this but it's been on my mind throughout the whole three books. In some way, Cinder could also have been a small portion of Anastasia with the whole myths of her being alive and lost somewhere with little to no recognition of who she truly was.
But at first I didn't want to read it because I don't like science fiction AT ALL but OMG I LOVED THESE BOOKS
I always wanted to read this book, because Christine always talks about it, but then I read the back and it made me really not want to. I finally picked it up today and started reading it and I'm SO glad that I did! I really recommend it from what I've read so far!
You can still feel your prosthetic body parts with TODAY'S technology advancements.
I love this book so much, glad you liked it
Yes, I figured she was who she was the minute she fought off the plague. It was built up pretty clearly in my opinion.
Why do people insist on giving spoilers??!! I loved Cinder, and as each book comes out, the story gets better and better. I love seeing how all the stories weave together and I'm excited to read the last book so see how they all weave together to get to an end. Keep going Christine! Its so worth it!
was anybody else thinking of sailor Moon when you read Moon princess???? or am I alone on this one????
the girl hacker cinder sees isn't the only time cress is mentioned in the book. ;) and by the part that we have about cress in cinder, we also learn more about her life, parents, etc.
you must be on your best clue-finding game for this series, christine! c: like so she can see!
NOOOOO WHAT HUH???? THEY GO TO THE MOON?!? UGHH WHY IVE ONLY READ CINDER AND I THOUGHT THIS WAS JUST ABOUT CINDER NOT THE OTHER BOOKS
i had sooo many feels after this book, but I read the whole series already, trust me, your feels have only just begun
I smiled and laughed throughout this whole review BECAUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN FOREVER I've read a book series that you havent and I know what happens and I enjoyed saying "yes" and "no" to some of your theories. I'm glad you enjoyed the book! GO READ SCARLET!
Whenever Kai and cinder talked I freaked out. And when they kissed at the ball:)
Oh my god Christine I'm so excited that you finally started The Lunar Chronicles! It's literally one of my all time favorite book series. You have to start reading Scarlet ASAP, it's so good.
Cinder is friggin Harry Potter i mean think about it ,she was born her parents were killed and she was brought to earth and left with a jerk family
Almost all books are like that.
Im so glad you're reading this series! And yes I do agree with it being obvious that Cinder is the princess but that's not even much of a big reveal compared to the rest of the series. The books get way better as you go along!
Am I the only one who laughed when she got communism confused with dictatorship?
You are the best friend that everyone wants to have
I'm so late to this boat xD I just finished Cinder and I need to read the others! I also have many other books on my list to read, damn school for keeping me busy ugh!
ok me. I just finished cinder and I need to read scarlet
Ya!!! I love it when we read the same books! I am about 70 pages into Scarlett myself, can't wait for the booktalk!!!!
SPOILERRRRERRRS
I just finished cinder and I was kinda disappointed because I guessed EVERYTHING!!
Straight away I guessed that The girl on the screen would be cress and also I have a theory.
Dr earwig or whatever he is called said he had a daughter called CRESSent like I'm totally guessing that cress is his daughter xD
+Keira Erica THAT'S WHAT I THINK TOO!!! but i have only finished Cinder today
Earwig 😂😂😂
Holy crap Earwig 😂😂😂😂😂 it's Erland btw. Lol still not over it 😂
Love the theroy! But dr. Erlands daughter was a shell, or erland could be hiding the fact that sh is a lunar😱
+Keira Erica I think thats the POINT to FORESHADOW that Cinder is the princess and that Cress is his daughter
Awesome review Christine-- so glad you liked Cinder! It took me SO LONG to finally pick this book up and I ended up devouring it AND reading the second one in a matter of a couple of days! SUPER EXCITED for the fourth one....I needs in my hands! I NEEDS!
"BANG! BANG! Series over." XD
I've always felt that I've been missing out because I haven't read any of the Lunar Chronicles's yet. OMG now I seriously need to read this.
I bet future Google still wants you to sign up for Google+
it's very cool to see how all of the characters intertwine! i'm excited for you to read the rest! this is one of my favorite series!!
Lol. Christine said "im sure we'll see that girl that told cinder to go to the ball". She reslly didnt see that thats clearly Cress? Raphnzel? I mean it pretty obvioud since it me tioned she has long hair ahahaha
Was i blind when reading?😂. I didnt guess it was rupunzel since i didn't remember reading "long hair" 😂😂
Maybe it's just the fact that I'm reading this book at 2 AM, but I totally did NOT see the Cinder/Princess Selene twist coming! I feel the same way in that I was nervous to read this series because I really don't enjoy sci-fi, but pleasantly surprised and I can't wait to start reading Scarlet! By the way, love your channel and your book talks, I live for them!
what is up with your eyeliner??? it looks cool but seriously, what were you going for?
YES YES YES! i Read this book and the second one last year and i have really been wanting u to do a book talk on it!
I always laugh when you drop the book by mistake
THIS SOUNDS SO COOL. I actually had on idea what Cinder, etc. were about and I REALLY didn't get why they were called the Lunar Chronicles (I could have just looked it up, but I guess that's just too hard).
Christine: "Hmm so I was spoilered for this series. That really sucked. Now let's spoiler ALL MY SUBSCRIBERS. 'Cuz you know. Screw them."
She gave u like 30 secs to leave the video if u haven't read it.. So if anyone got spoiled it's their fault for not listening
wait did you not watch the whole video? she warned all of us that she was gonna discuss the whole book spoilers and all after she gave us a couple minute synopsis. The booktalk is literally the format for all her book discussion videos like calm down are you new here
^ she was talking about the spoiler that Kat spoiled for Christine…
The thing I really loved about this series was how well Marissa Meyer Used foreshadowing, especially in Cinder-I was looking through Cinder after finished reading Scarlet and Cress, and I realized that she made all these connections to the next two books and I was just like..OMG how did I not see this? xD good review, Christine, super super stoked for Fairest and Winter :)
when u just walk and cringe in the corner tho 😂
can we all applaud her AWESOME eyeliner pattern like omg its so prtty!!!!!
omg. i super love you, but u spoiled quite a bit during this booktalk... :(.. i didnt know anything about Cress but now i know too much :'(
The Author loves Sailor Moon and lots of other animes since it was mentioned at the end of the book. So the Princess Selene originated from Sailor Moon being the Princess of the Moon. Also the whole battle between earth and moon
I loved cinder and scarlet and cress SO much!!!!!! It's now my favorite series!! I read cinder in one and and the same about scarlet! I read Cress I'm 2!! I'm happy you liked it!!
Christine The Lunar Chronicles is one of my favorite series and I flipped out when you showed Cinder in your holiday haul, I love it so much and I'm glad you do too :D
My fave part from cinder is when she and Kai were in the elevator, and he asked her to the ball and she said no before getting out then he held the elevator door with his hand and asked her again, what a prince mmaaaann. That was so romantic. So romantic. I love Kai
I have only read cinder but if cress is supposed to be like Rapunzel and is captured and kept locked away in like a tower or something does that make her that girl that told cinder on that comm to stop kai because she is being held captive by queen leveana in space. Plus eventually all the main characters are probably gonna cross paths so that would make sense. I'm sorry if i'm wrong but it was just my inference.
I read this book and I absolutely loved everything about it. I read all three book in 2 weeks and I need Winter now. Winter is the 4th book btw, in case anybody was wondering. Comes out this November!
Same. Took me forever to pick up this book and then I wound up just tearing through it super fast. It is so much fun and so hard to pitch to people because you're like "Cyborg Cinderella who is secretely the moon princess fights Moon Mutants...but not as ridiculous as it sounds." I will not spoil you but man it just gets better in Scarlett and Cress (And the Last one is called Winter). Can't wait for your book talks for that!
I can't wait for you to read the whole series!Its AMAZING!
Cinder and Cress are AMAZING! Cress is NOT starwarzy! I love it!
SERIOUSLY, IT ONLY GETS BETTER, I FINNISHED CRESS FIVE MINUTES AGO AND I AM LITERALLY DYING, ALL THE CHARACTERS ARE AMAZING, AND OMFG, THE INTRODUCTION OF WINTER WAS SO FUCKING PERFECT I AM LITERALLY DYING I WANT WINTER NOW
You had me so mind blown with the whole Girl on the Screen and Rapunzel connection
I am literally buying Scarlett and Dress in 20 minutes. I'm so excited to read them!!
I've been waiting for you to do a book review on this one for a long time and i just noticed it now! OMMFG! YOU'RE AMAZING!
I really freaking love your booktalks. They always make me laugh and make my day.
Hey Chritine! I've read Cinder last year, and I was realy excited doing that! I remembered a lot of things with your review... And you don't know how lucky you are to have the chance to read Scarlet soon, because here - Brazil - it hasn't been released yet! And I'm freaking out every time I think about it. Great video!
I only just read Cinder. I really enjoyed it. And I kinda agree with you about Cinder being the long-lost Princess. It was pretty obvious from the moment that Kai mentioned finding Princess Celene that Cinder was Celene. Although usually I'm happy to figure things out, especially if it wasn't really obvious from the start.
I'm so glad you loved it! Im not gonna spoil you but Im gonna tell you that the series gets so much better as you go on. It gets better and better. Cinder is my like favorite female character I just think she so asdfghjkl and I really love Cinder and Kai. This is one if my most favorite series ever! So I really hope you love the series just as much as I do.
I always saw Iko as the fairy god mother.The series only gets better as it goes on! There are actually three short stories that go with the series. One's about Cinder when she was a kid, another is about the past of a new character in Scarlet, and the last is a retelling of the little mermaid. You can find the link at her website.
