Beyond the capes and masks is a strikingly grounded story of star-crossed would-be lovers, deception, and the recognition that most of humanity exists between the extremes of good and evil.--<i>Publishers Weekly, </i> <b>starred review<br></b><br><b>Tackles a familiar genre in a brand new way.</b>--Hypable.com <p/><b>A fully realized new world with compelling characters</b> and just enough edge-of-your-seat action to rival the biggest on-screen adaptation?.--Bustle <p/><b>Exciting...perfect for your Fall #TBR list.</b>--PopSugar.com <p/>Even reluctant fans of hero fantasies will fall for the <b>smart plot and wonderful world-building.</b> Prepare to fangirl.--<i>Justine Magazine</i> <p/><b>Meyer delivers a balance between intricate world-building and fast-paced action sequences.</b> Nova's childhood tragedy will draw sympathy from readers as they watch her integrate into the group of Renegades in order to seek vengeance. Back-stabbing, plot twists, and hidden agendas will have readers turning pages in an attempt to discover the truth.--<i>School Library Journal <p/></i>Meyer smartly refrains from focusing totally on Adrian and Nova's potential romance and instead fleshes the characters out as separate individuals with flaws and strengths, regrets and desires. ...<b>The world is exceptionally well crafted, particularly the complex backstory of the rise of prodigies among humans, and the secondary cast of villains and heroes could give Marvel and DC a run for their money.</b> There's a lot going on here besides cool names and superpowers, and the book earns both its hefty page count and its expected sequel.--<i>Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, </i> Recommended <p/><b>Praise for Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles series: <br></b><br><b>#1 <i>New York Times</i></b>-<b>Bestselling Series</b><br><b><i>USA Today</i> Bestseller</b><br><b><i>Publishers Weekly</i> Bestseller</b><br><b>National Indie Bestseller</b> <p/>"A mash-up of fairy tales and science fiction . . . a cross between Cinderella, <i>The Terminator</i>, and <i>Star Wars</i>." --<i>Entertainment Weekly</i> <p/>"Prince Charming among the cyborgs." --<i>The</i> <i>Wall Street Journal</i> <p/>"Terrific." --<i>Los Angeles Times <p/></i><b>Praise for Marissa Meyer's<i> Heartless: </i></b> <p/><b>In <i>Heartless, </i> the nonsense that is Wonderland gets a reverential makeover, full of heart and its own idiosyncratic character. </b>--<b>Gregory Maguire, <i>Wicked</i> and <i>After Alice</i> <p/>The author's best fantasy yet. . . . Meyer has woven all the elements of darkness and light, fate and free will, and love and hatred into an unforgettable story of the evolution of the Red Queen from a young girl who dreamed of true love and freedom to a madwoman best remembered for the phrase 'Off with his head.'
