The second graphic novel, and sequel to Wires and Nerve, Volume 1, from #1 New York Times and USA Today Bestseller Marissa Meyer!

The world of the Lunar Chronicles comes alive in this thrilling continuation of Wires and Nerve. Iko--an audacious android and best friend to the Lunar Queen Cinder--has been tasked with hunting down Alpha Lysander Steele, the leader of a rogue band of bioengineered wolf-soldiers who threaten to undo the tenuous peace agreement between Earth and Luna. Unless Cinder can reverse the mutations that were forced on them years before, Steele and his soldiers plan to satisfy their monstrous appetites with a massacre of the innocent people of Earth.

And to show he's serious, Steele is taking hostages.

Cinder and Kai, Scarlet and Wolf, Cress and Thorne, and Winter and Jacin all feature in this epic new battle. But it is Iko who must face her deepest fears when she uncovers the truth about her own unusual programming. Questions of love, friendship, and mortality take Iko on an emotional journey that will satisfy and delight fans of this bestselling series.

Page 60: (view spoiler)[ Oof we all know eavesdropping never ends well. (hide spoiler)]

Page 133 (view spoiler)[ That was so thoughtful of Kai to make the locket with Peony's id chip. How did he just happen to have it on him today? I just didn't get the impression that people knew the destination before they got there. (hide spoiler)]

Page 222 (view spoiler)[ Well this is quite the reversal from Kinney. I already don’t believe it’s too late for Iko so I feel nothing. (hide spoiler)]

Pages 260 (view spoiler)[ That was an excellent switcheroo at the ball. So clever. (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ That was so good! Such a sweet finish for Iko, who didn't get her own follow-up story in Stars Above as far as I recall. (hide spoiler)]

Up to page 80 (view spoiler)[ ugh!!! Why is Wolf being so dumb?!?! How could he join this lunatic?! And it doesn’t seem like he’s got some plot to undermine the leader or anything. I hope he sees the error of his ways soon!! (hide spoiler)]

@ Shabbat’s I know he’s trying to protect Scarlet but I don’t think this is the way.

Darn autocorrect!!!!! @ Shannara

Yeah, definitely not! Ugh, smh…

Up to page 143 (view spoiler)[ I knew it!! Kinney is totally catching feelings for Iko!!! At least I think I’m reading that right… and yay!! Winter might become the leader of Luna! I think she’d do great now that she doesn’t have lunar sickness anymore. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ Yes!!!! So sweet!!!! I just love him!!!! (hide spoiler)]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I really enjoyed this one!! It was exciting, and I was more used to how the characters looked. Lol.. and I love how Kinney and Iko finally started to get along and how he definitely caught feelings for her!! The whole ball room scene with the androids was awesome! I thought for a minute that they were really guests. So I guess if they decide to make another graphic novel, I’d definitely read it!!! (hide spoiler)]
