In her first graphic novel, bestselling author Marissa Meyer extends the world of the Lunar Chronicles with a brand-new, action-packed story about Iko, the android with a heart of (mechanized) gold.
When rogue packs of wolf-hybrid soldiers threaten the tenuous peace alliance between Earth and Luna, Iko takes it upon herself to hunt down the soldiers' leader. She is soon working with a handsome royal guard who forces her to question everything she knows about love, loyalty, and her own humanity. With appearances by Cinder and the rest of the Rampion crew, this is a must-have for fans of the bestselling series.
My Thoughts:
It’s no secret that I love Cinder and the rest of the Lunar Chronicles series. I love the world, the fairy tale aspect, the characters… everything! One of my very favorite characters is Iko. I was so thrilled to hear that we would be getting more of her story. And a graphic novel? YES!!!! I mean, just look at that gorgeous artwork:
Wires and Nerve: Volume One by Marissa Meyer did not disappoint! I flew through it and loved it so much.
I loved that we got to catch up with the characters from the novels. Seeing what happens after “happily ever after” is always fun! Cinder, Kai, Scarlet, Wolf, Cress, Thorne, Winter and Jacin are all present in the story. Of course they are! They’re as integral to Iko’s story as she was to theirs. I loved seeing their friendships and relationships develop.
However, this book isn’t an epilogue to the Lunar Chronicles. This is a new story with Iko at it’s heart. I was so glad to see this. It has all the things I loved about the previous stories but with its own twist. We get new problems, new characters, and more Iko!
And of course there’s the artwork. I loved it! The style, the color scheme, the panels… it all fit with the story perfectly.
Whether you’re a long time fan of graphic novels or you’ve never picked one up, Wires and Nerve is a story you can get caught up in. I cannot wait for the next volume!
