Welcome to Refracted Light’s stop on the CRESS blog tour!
Well, girls, boys, royal-consort-hopefuls, you might’ve heard some troubling rumors floating around about our most beloved Emperor Kai, and if true, events seem to have indeed taken a slightly dire turn. Meg Tao, president of the “Kai is my Prince Charming” fangroup, has the scoop and fills us in on the latest…
Rapunzel’s tower is a satellite. She can’t let down her hair—or her guard. In this third book in the bestselling Lunar Chronicles series, Cinder and Captain Thorne are fugitives on the run, with Scarlet and Wolf in tow. Together, they’re plotting to overthrow Queen Levana and her army. Their best hope lies with Cress, who has been trapped on a satellite since childhood with only her netscreens as company. All that screen time has made Cress an excellent hacker—unfortunately, she’s just received orders from Levana to track down Cinder and her handsome accomplice. When a daring rescue goes awry, the group is separated. Cress finally has her freedom, but it comes at a high price. Meanwhile, Queen Levana will let nothing stop her marriage to Emperor Kai. Cress, Scarlet, and Cinder may not have signed up to save the world, but they may be the only ones who can.

I think my favourite is Wolf!
I have the first two books lined up to read but haven’t yet. So no favorite character at present.
Captain Thorne for sure! I am looking forward to Cress most of all just for the sake of swooning over his romance with Cress.
I love all of the characters so much, but I’d have to say Wolf and Scarlet are my favourites. But Iko as well! Thank you for the giveaway and the Emperor Kai fan club page is awesome:)
Gah, I’ve been meaning to read these! Each one looks more interesting than the last. And I love Rapunzel.
Iko! Hands down. The series wouldn’t be the same with out her. I hope she gets herself a happy ending.
I like………. Maybe cress or dr earland?
My favorite would have too Thorne, and from what I have read of Cress I think Cress will become one of my favorites as well.
I love this! Such a creative idea. My favorite character…that is so hard because I love everyone of them. I think Cress might be it though. I have a feeling that I’ll love Winter’s character too…eeps can’t wait to get to know her.
I don’t think I can pick just one favorite character (that’s like asking a mother to pick her favorite child). I love them all for different reasons, though I may be a little partial to Thorne. There’s just something about a sassy, clever thief with a heart of gold that I just can’t resist (many thanks go out to Eugenides from Megan Whalen Turner’s Queen’s Thief series for helping me see the light).
Hahaha, this was absolutely AWESOME! I loved it!
I loved this post! Made me laugh!
I like almost everyone, but I’m going to pick Levanna, just because I like a good evil character.
Pick a favorite character? Oh goodness, I hate choosing favorites… Today, the answer would be Scarlet. I admire her devotion to her grand-mère — and as a sidebar, I’m in love with Ms. Soler’s performance of her in the audiobook. It makes re-reads just a little more poignant.
Can I just say all of the characters? Ok, maybe not so I’ll just stick with Wolf. 😀
I loved this, so funny! Couldn’t stop laughing while I was reading it.
Favorite character… this is a tough question… I’m going to have to call it a tie between Iko and Queen Levana.
Thanks for the giveaway! I am in love with Wolf for sure! <3
I think my fave is Cinder. :)) Well, I am Cinderella at heart & I need a prince but this time, he will be the one that needs saving. As Walt Disney said and I quote, “When Prince Charming didn’t come along, Cinderella went over to the palace and got him.” I think this not-so-damsel-in-distress is really strong and intelligent :)))
I don’t think I can honestly choose between characters in the Lunar Chronicles. However, Scarlet, Wolf and Thorne are probably at the top of my list.
I love Iko!
It’s so terribly hard to just choose one character but I think I have to go with Scarlet! <3 I love her personality!
THIS IS AWESOME! I loved this blog post! Thanks for posting! This is so far my favourite part in the blog tour!
Cinder’s my fav
OMG that is so funny! I love it when an author is so immersed in their book’s world that they have all of these wonderful details that (though they probably don’t make it into the book) really bring the characters and the world onto a new level of believability
I don’ know exactly who my favourite is. Maybe Cinder, actually.
I haven’t finished reading the series yet so I can’t say….to be fair. 😀
Hi! I don’t know who my favorite character is because I need to read the books!
I can’t choose a favorite!!!! They’re all too good.
Hi!!!!!
Thanks for offering. I’d love to read the books! I’ve heard great things.
Oh gosh, I have to give a favorite? I’m not sure! I really love Thorn! He’s funny and charming!
Hi Marissa! Can’t wait to see you on tour
Hi, Marissa! My teen loves your series!
Hey, Marissa, your books are some of my favorites out of all the books i read so far! My favorite character is… I love all of them and can’t chose!
I really like Thorn!! And that post was way too funny! Love it!!!
I want tor read all of them at once! I would love to sit and devour them like fine chocolates.
Hi Marissa. I would love to read this awesome series. Thanks for the giveaway.
Hello Marissa!!!!! You are one of my favorite authors and I love all your books! My favorite character is Cinder 😀
Cinder’s my favorite (but I’ve only read Cinder thus far!) 😀
Wolf!
Fun fan club news and thanks for the giveaway opportunity.
I love Cinder. She is awesome!
My favorite is Cinder since i usually most of the time like the main character and also because she’s not a totally dimwit and is strong and do things that she don’t like. She’s a very motivational character and just keep you moving on even though she has her doubts and so on she is a wonderful and engaging character. I love her sarcasm!
I LOVE the captin! 😀
I love Scarlet the most so far! I love her little sassy personality and all of the red themes in the book! I hope to see alot more of her and her adventures with Wolfe in Cress! 😀
See you in the Woodlands Marissa! I’m excited to meet you!
Cinder is my favorite!
Ha, this is so funny! I’ve only “met” Cinder so far, so I guess she’s my favorite!
Hi Marissa! This looks really good! I would love to win/read/review it! This is a totally new series to me.
Hi Marissa. Thanks for the awesome giveaway. My favorite character is Cinder. I just love her spunk and her voice and how she thinks about things. I really love everything about her. Iko is a close second. I just think she is quite funny and I really hope she gets a great android body and feels like she is human.
I love all the characters for different reasons but if I have to choose just one it has to be wolf.
My favorite character is Cinder. Hi Marissa! Thanks for writing good books, :).
Thanks so much for the giveaway! Captain Thorne is definitely, by far, my favorite character!
Big thank you to Marissa for sharing her incredible story with us! 😉
My favorite is Prince Kai ofcourse!…*ahem* I mean Emperor Kai! 😀
Oh Ms. Meyer why do you do this to us? Your a tease. ^_^
I loved Meg Tao’ post! it reminded me so much of Prince Yuki’s fan club in the series “fruits Basket” (except Kai’s fans aren’t as evil as Yuki’s)
I love both series, so imagine how much more I am now anticipating the book. (sitting on my hands in an attempt to keep still)
It’s hard to choose just one, but so far I really love Scarlet!
I really love Cinder 😀
I actually love Thorne!! I mean, I like Scarlet and I find Wolf very intriguing, but Thorne is definitely my favorite character!
Thank you for the giveaway!
Cress, but Scarlet comes really close!
Hmm. . . . I keep wavering between several. . . today I’ll say Scarlet!
I love all tha characters, but if i had to choose it’d be Wolf so far, but I have a feeling Cress might just change that (Or, you know, it’d just be them both). Can’t wait! X)
I love them all, but maybe Scarlet a little more than Cinder. 😉
I really enjoy Cinder because she fixes things and Scarlet because she’s a curly red head and so am I! I need Cress bad!!
I haven’t read the series but Cinder and Cress sound pretty cool! I will have to read to find out lol. Hi Marissa!
I’ve only read Cinder so far and LOVE both Cinder and Kai but I am looking forward to meeting the other characters in Scarlet and Cress.
Well hi, Marissa. I have to say that Wolf is my favorite character.
Hello, Marissa!
My favorite character is either Cinder or Thorne. I can’t decide which.
Thanks for the post and the giveaway!
My fave character would have to be Captain Thorne! He’s so hilarious.
I HAVE ESPECIALLY LOVED SCARLET AND WOLF SINCE THE LAST BOOK. They are so cute <3 I really like Cinder too. She's just awesome and amazing. And Iko! And Captain Thorne. Can I just say everyone? Hi Marissa!
Hi Marissa! -waves- I can’t wait to see you in NYC! ;D
And my favorite character is definitely Captain Thorne. <3
Omg I haven’t read this yet! What is wrong with me! I need to read this like soon!
Thanks for this blog tour!!
My favourite character is Prince Kai <3
I LOVE this series! I want this more than I want food!
Can it be all the characters?? Lol if not it would be Scarlet
I love this series! One of the best series I’ve read! I can’t wait for Cress. Thank you for the giveaway!
Hi Marissa! I have not read the series, but they are on my list. Thank you for the giveaway!!
Mine has to be Iko or Thorne. I do love them all though! I’m looking forward to seeing more of Cress!
Hi! I think my favorite would have to be Cinder because she’s so resilient although I’m v curious about Winter!
I absolutely love Cinder. She is strong, smart, and fierce. I cannot wait to see how her story continues.
I love Cinder the best! And Hi Marissa!
I haven’t read the series yet, but I follow Marissa on twitter and epicreads is always tweeting so many great things about it. I hope I win so I can join in on all the lunar chronicles love! Hi Marissa!!!
Hi Marissa! (I did have favorites but it’s been so long since I read it that I clearly need a reread!!)
Hi Marissa! My favorite character is Cinder. I totally related to her.
I have only read Cinder but I loved, loved, loved the book and CAN’T WAIT to read the rest of Marissa’s books!!! I love Cinder–I’ve always considered myself a Cinderella:)
cindi @ mommasez…blog
That’s a really hard question, but I think Scarlet, at least in this moment.
haven’t read any yet so don’t have a fav
Hi Marissa!!!
I can’t say I have a favorite character because I haven’t read the books yet, which is why I am hoping to win! Thank you
So far, my favorite would have to be Wolf!
SO dreamy!
Um, obviously THORNE!! He’s so hot and dreamy! *dreamy sigh*
Hello Marissa, I love your books.
My favorite character has to be Wolf!
I can’t wait to read Cress!! I’ve heard nothing but amazing things about it! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!!
Scarlet and Wolf have been my favorites so far. I do love all the characters though. Really great series.
Hi Marissa I like Cress and Wolf Thanks
Hi Marissa! I love Iko and Wolf. Humor & sex appeal, pure genius!
Hi Marissa! I actually haven’t read any of the Lunar Chronicles, but I’d love to start.
Hi Marissa, my favorite is definitely the sexy bad boy wolf!!!
I love Wolf! I wouldnt mind rolling around in the hay with this bad boy. He also has a soft spot for Scarlet which is so endearing.
Hello Marissa!
I haven’t gotten into this series yet so I don’t have a favorite character but I am sure once I read it I’ll have multiple favorites.
Hello Marissa!
My favorite character is going to be Cinder, naturally. However, I love all of the characters! It’s hard to pick favorites! I’m very excited to read Cress on Tuesday.
Haven’t read them yet
I’m a big fan of Cinder (I know, so lame to love the main character best) but was also a big fan of Iko and the professor. Can’t wait for Cress!
Hi Marissa!
I love Cinder. Other characters too: Iko, scarlet; but I just love Cinder and the fact that she doesn’t let her less than positive experiences stop her.
I really like Scarlet.
Hey Marissa! my favorite character would probably have to be Cinder because she’s so strong and a great female protangoinist
Hi Marissa! I love Wolf! He’s my kind of futuristic guy thing… O.o
Hi Marissa (BTW, in person she is just as lovely as she seems!). I think Scarlet is my favorite so far, but I have really enjoyed all of the characters brought to life in the Lunar Chronicles. The books are just SO good! I can’t wait to win copies of all of them – I hope!!
Can’t wait for Cress!!!
I haven’t read any of the books, but I’d love to read them!
Hi Marissa!
My favorite character has to be Capitain Thorne because he’s funny (and he’s really hot)
I love all the characters really! But my favorites would have to be Cinder, Scarlet, Wolf, and Iko! I actually just read Scarlet a couple of weeks ago, so I’m super excited for Cress!
Hello Marissa! I am a huge fan! Your books are so SMART, and I have such lpve for the way you portray your young women characters! They are strong, intelligent, independent, resourceful, caring, generous…. I could go on
Excellent role models for young girls today — I sure wosh books like yours had been around when I was a tween and teen (back in the Dark Ages).
My favorite character still remains Cinder! I have a feeling she’ll always be my favorite.
