But I'm glad to say that this volume did not disappoint. I've been waiting for over a year for this graphic novel to come out, so to say that I had high expectations would barely begin to cover it. The love/hate between the two of them is perfect!īlog | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Youtube I was secretly hoping that for Iko, but I guess I'll deal with Kinney for now. Perhaps the only thing missing from this series is some good LGBT representation. Plus, getting a visual of this diverse cast of characters was wonderful: the Chinese Cinder and Kai, the black Iko and Winter, and the white Scarlet, Cress and Thorne. This series is a whole lot of light silliness, easy to digest science-fiction, and romance, but underneath there's a constant subtle nod to the outsiders those who have had to fight to be heard or taken seriously because of who they are. Her behaviour and feelings are constantly being questioned - her fiery temper considered a "malfunction" and her emotions considered "artificial". She also has to deal with being the "forgotten hero", her name kept out of the history books because she is an android, and therefore not considered a real person. Iko is now a hunter, searching for rogue wolf-hybrids all over the world. The characters we know and love all make an appearance, and Meyer's trademark humour keeps the story light between the royal politics and drama. The protagonist here is Iko, the charming and - as you will soon see - badass android that's been with Cinder from the very beginning.Īnd it was really enjoyable. It is basically the fifth book in the Lunar Chronicles and does contain spoilers for all previous books - so if you haven't finished the others don't make the mistake of thinking this is a completely separate story.
Wires and Nerve picks up shortly after the end of Winter. I loved it! It's just a shame that graphic novels are over so quickly and now we must wait a whole year for the sequel.
