CRESS BY MARISSA MEYER

[@FlashemisArrow]

YOU DIDN'T MENTION CRESS'S FATHER! When he had to quarantine himself...that was the most emotional scene I could not even.

[@winterwolfpearl5048]

I know that feeling dude, also, I posted a comment about him two weeks ago while I was in my mourning and went through a depression-like state in the process when he died.

[@alyssanourie2290]

FlashemisArrow same

[@hannahtheslytherin179]

I literally cried! It was so sad!!!

[@faridaaaaaaa3287]

I cried my eyes out !!! Although Erland didn’t interest me throughout the books the farewell part was AMAZING and soooo emotional I loved it

[@JC-qz2ny]

[@sarahannereads]

Cress is without a doubt my favorite book in the series. The whole interaction between Cress and Thorne cracks me up because he's so different with her than he was in Scarlet and you can tell he just has no clue what to do with her and I just love it. They're just the best.

[@JessPeachee]

I liked the part where Thorne was playing cards or something like that and finally reveals that he knew that girl was an android.

[@tiaraashley1]

It was so awesome! He's a genius

[@hopeharrison5758]

Tiara Ashley I wouldn’t go that far, but yeah, that was a really good moment.

[@daphneebeaulieu3484]

THORNE IS BAE😍😍

[@hi3lsa]

YES QUEEN

[@internetghost469]

Ikr

[@kimflanagan92]

One of my Favourite moment is when Cress and Thorne all meet with wolf and cinder .. BC that scene was effing HILARIOUS! 😂😂😂 awkward confused moments that was just wonderful to read!

[@bananawanable]

Omg same!! So funny😂😂

[@adrianac6757]

+bananawanable that is one of my favorite moments too😂 so funny

[@athiramarsya]

same omg😂😂

[@EnvyNV6]

"She's my sassy queen and I love her" 😂😂 same though

[@dalala4609]

How can you not talk about Dr. Erland's death and how he's Cress's father!! It was a really emotional scene and I may or may not have shed a couple of tears haha.

[@avengers-rule1032]

I just finished Cress about an hour ago and I absolutely LOVED it! I kind of agree with you when it comes to Wolf, I understand his grief to a point but it did annoy me that he didn't really do anything of his own accord until the bit at the castle.. he was always just.. there. The scene between Kai and Cinder at the end was the best thing ever, I love how Cinder just stood there like "lol you have no idea you're talking about me and I'm just gonna let it happen" while he went on about Princess Selene. xP

[@pierrepaoooo]

CRESS SLAYS

[@jessethereader]

YAS AGREED

[@magicalpages9523]

I love this book so freaking much! Definitely my favorite from the series. I love Cress, she's brilliant. Carswell Thorne is bae. I love his sarcasm and everything he says. Oh, I adore him, he's my favorite character. Not agree about Scarlet and Wolf. I really like them. Not as much as Cress and Thorne, but still they're great. I love love love Cinder and Thorne's friendship! And the whole book was absolutely incredible. There was so much fun, adventures, action and It just blow me away!! I haven't read Winter yet, but I hope everything will end up okay.

[@harlie6349]

While I read Cinder, I listened to Scarlet and Cress, and let me tell you, it enhanced the story 100000000%. The voice actor does an amazing job, especially with Cinder and Thorne and Scarlet and Wolf and Cress AND EVERYONE. IT WAS SO AMAZING. I cannot wait to listen to Fairest and Winter.

[@hannahmullane9170]

Do you know who the narrator is? I would like to find that version of the book!

[@nikkiswiderski2267]

+Hannah Mullane It's on youtube! just look up the audiobook and it'll show up

[@nikkiswiderski2267]

+Claire Calamia the one I watched was like on the channel "lunar chronicles" first one to show up!

[@leaninglights]

JESSE. Wolf is the best. What even. hahah It's okay, I forgive you. Great review! Cress is probably still my number one in the entire series... but Scarlet is a close second!

[@jessethereader]

+leaninglights I've finished reading Winter now and I have to say that I enjoyed his character so much more in the final book!

[@PinkLemonArtStudio]

+leaninglights I agree!!! Wolf and Scarlet are my favorite characters.

[@leaninglights]

+jessethereader Yes, there was a lot of character development for him in Winter, for sure! Ahhh You've finished the series! Can't wait for that Winter review :D

[@leaninglights]

+Pink Lemonade Reads I knowwww. That was my only critique of Cress BUT, I think it had the best plot and storyline, so it still slightly wins out for me! But honestly: Scarlet and Wolf 4LYFE. hahah And just to touch on the "Jacin/Jason" thing: I wasn't sure either but I did listen to the audiobook for a part of the book and it was pronounced Jason! lol

[@tiaraashley1]

+Pink Lemonade Reads hahaha I totally get that. In my head Iko was pronounced "Eeee-ko" not how he did so I was so confused for a hot second.

[@BooksStuffbooks]

CRESSWELL is OTP!!! I love them so much

[@taykendall3188]

CRESSWELL IS MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! I read this series and Cresswell took over my LIFE!!!!!!

[@Rooseveltdraws]

Cress is one of my favorite characters I love her delusions.

[@jessethereader]

+b2eazy55 She's so great.

[@winterwolfpearl5048]

Hello there, Jesse. I love that story and the relationship between Cress and Throne. The moment that made me cry was that doctor's death, it was very sad and it was the first character death I cried over. He won my fancy since Cinder, he just...had a sympathetic backstory and he loved his long-lost daughter. Speaking of death, I normally don't get sad over death, but in this story, I caught a tear on the right lens of my glasses and I would regularly think about and listen to Judy Garland's "Somewhere over the Rainbow", the lyrics of that song fit him for some reason. That's all I got. Thank you from a fifteen year old girl.

[@thereadingwriter5296]

I just finished Cress. I disagree with your opinions of Scarlet and Wolf (they're my babies in this series), but pretty much everything else I'm on board with. I loved Cress and Thorne's dynamic and how they worked together to do what they had to do. And now I need to get my hands on Winter...I need to know what happens to all of my babies! T_T

[@sajidazarif894]

I think every fangirl could relate with Cress... 😹

[@pierrepaoooo]

YOU GUYS NEED TO READ THE NOVELLA "THE LITTLE ANDROID". IT KILLED ME 😭

[@morganeminmy7007]

I just finish it ! And I love it! My favorite moment : KAI AND CINDER KISSING !

[@ZeinaIan]

I love Scarlet and Wolf they are my favourite couple I don't know why so many people don't like them. It's so sad that they always get the worst shit happening to them though they can never catch a break.

[@aspenculbertson3938]

Cress is the best book she has written

[@junotune4924]

Did you read heartless? That is my personal fav by her.

[@Rebecca-qj1uk]

Thorne would be the annoying best friend

[@augustpiccolo]

Every single book tortured me about what happens next. Ughhh! I finished winter last night and omg it is so good!

[@chelseas1346]

I'm in the middle of rereading Cress to get prepped and ready for Winter, so I'm super happy to see your book talk!

[@jessethereader]

+Chelsea S :D

[@rafiestreynj]

I really want to read The Lunar Chronicles cause everyone has been hyping about it. It sounds great. Btw, I really love your bookshelves in all your videos. 😄

[@TheReadingPuppet]

Loved Cress, I'm enjoying Winter, I really like her and Cress they are my two favorite characters 😊

[@blue-om5st]

honestly i cried as winter was introduced because. holy shit. shes such a sweet, sweet soul, and shes making herself go crazy with it, and her feelings about selenes death and the castle walls just fucking. blew my fucking mind okay I LOVE HER SO MUCH AND I NEED TO KEEP HER SAFE PLEASE and i need her and cinder to become best friends and i need the whole crew to love and appreciate and take care of her. and i need to give her a lot of hugs. i just immediately fell in love with her okay. shes so good

[@autumnbellmont451]

I love that Cress and Wolf are like best friends

[@junotune4924]

They aren't really...

[@hillisawesome]

Wolf and Scarlet is my favourite couple! And Cress and Thorne is my least favourite so far. Cinder and Kai omg, they are goals HAHAHA Cannot wait for Winter and Jacin appearances together!!

[@mmeagan]

Just finished the series. It's so refreshing that you felt the same as me about the books Scarlet and Cress!

[@MorgothBauglire]

My fav line is when the doctor is talking to levana and hes like i think you would tear your flesh from your bones having to look at yourself for so long its such an awsome roast 😂 also i loved the kai and cinder kiss it was so sweet

[@kirabedira8135]

I love the Luna Lovegood - WInter connection! She is a bit strange but who doesn't love/need a bit of that! I am reading Winter right now and can't wait to see how her character progresses.

[@nyxfuzen]

4:41 when I ended the book and my friend asked me about winter I say "I like her, she is seeing bleeding walls" with smile on my face. totally normal!

[@Swifti4life]

i can't wait to read Winter!!! This series is amazingg :D

[@jessethereader]

It's so great!

[@deannascorner8112]

I know this is old but I just finished reading it now and I bawled. Straight up sobbing. When Dr Erland said goodbye to Cress. My heart. Plus Thorne is my absolute fav character and I love him so much!!

[@gingergirl9197]

i loved your review on cress EXCEPT the fact you didn't like scarlet, i mean- how- i- ugh. WOLFLET IS BAE OKAY?! i mean, didn't you even die a little tiny bit when she was gone and he cuddled a freakin tomatoe box (i know box is not the right word but i'm not a native speaker and can't remember the right word for it, sorry)? i mean srsly this was the moment of my death. (beside the cress and dr erland thing and the whole cress and thorne relationship, that killed me, too) but ugh i love all of the books so much and i can't wait to read winter but in germany the release date is on january 29 (i think) so i have to waaaiiiit forever :(( love your vids tho

[@PinkLemonArtStudio]

+GingerGirl omg WOLFLET! I've never seen that couple name before and now it's my favorite thing ever haha

[@gingergirl9197]

Pink Lemonade Reads really? :D yeah when i first saw it on the internet i wasn´t sure if i liked it but now i think it´s kinda cute ^^ (and way better than cinder and kais shipping name *cough*)

[@ginafercho4581]

Cress is also my favorite so far of the series. I love Cress and Thorne. Great review 👍👍

[@JC-qz2ny]

Scarlet and Winter's friendship is my favorite.

[@hopeharrison5758]

The walls...They’re bleeding again.

[@etiennelarcheeleanore8930]

I just wanted to smack Jacin. But maybe he will get better. I mean he has to get better because he is going to end up with Winter...

[@alinavioleta86]

2/1/21: Hold on- I haven’t finished Cress yet, brb 2/2/21: Heck, I need to stop reading for a minute XD Gonna read Paolini’s newest book since I don’t want the Lunar Chronicles to end yet. But I can agree, Cress is my favorite book of the series so far. I like the direction Thorne and Cress’s relationship is going, and I can find myself relating to Cress in the way she indulges herself into fantasies and the media. So far one of my favorite female leads ❤️ That reunion between Kai and Cinder also feels pretty rewarding to me after everything that’s been going on between them and their lives. I love ‘political’ fantasies where the characters are pressured by many external conflicts involving social and/or government ideals. It adds a constant flare of suspense to the story and keeps me reading...clearly... :,3 Now if you can excuse me, I gotta go to bed and finish the homework I didn’t do because I’ve been reading Cress 50% of the time XD Thank you for the review ❤️

[@aaronmauricio8341]

I just started Cress. I'm so open for spoilers!

[@reinafis8609]

Jesse Your Book Reviews Are Gold. GOLD. AND SO ARE YOU;)

[@jessethereader]

Thank you!

[@pinky5088]

+jessethereader Awesome video Jesse! I agreed with everything you said, ECHO! Now, onto Winter!!!!!!!!

[@tiaraashley1]

Omg I love Scarlet!! But yeah Wolf was frustrating like get it together man!!! Jeez.

[@bellathebookworm6593]

love thorn and cress ! haven't read winter yet but so far they they are my favorite couple in the series!!

[@jessethereader]

+c millar def my fave couple too!!

[@daphneebeaulieu3484]

I agreeeeeee!!!😍😍😍 because Thorne is bae

[@hannahtheslytherin179]

I love winter she’s really different! I also just love Cress and Thorne together! I love how he fell in love with her only seeing her face once via netscreen, and a few glimpses in a falling satellite. Which most people tell me at the end of Cress: well they aren’t together. But they totally are I don’t care what you say. (sorry for the crazy fan girl. I just love these books!)

[@murry_monster]

Usually a book with a ton of perspectives you get lost in it and its hard to really connect. I LOVE how Marissa Meyer makes every character interesting and likable. I love Cress! I just finished Winter this morning. Its so good! I also never liked Jacin. Hes probably my least favorite character overall. You'll LOVE Winter though when you read the next book. Shes crazy/Luna Lovegood type lovable.

[@adobi_flash253]

I frikin love this series I read every book it was so funny to read and made me cry multiple times

[@lpsconfident]

Iko is also my sassy queen tbh she is probably my favorite character

[@fazilaafsar8264]

NEED TO READ THIS BOOK ASAP. LOVED CINDER AND SCARLET I GUESS. BUT RAPUNZEL IS MY FAAAAV DISNEY PRINCESS SO I CANNOT WAIT TO READ THIS BOOOOK

[@aftercollege3437]

Now I can't wait until you read Winter! It is such a tie between which one I liked more, Cress and Winter were just awesome.

[@BohoBookworm]

I was too nervous to watch this because I am busy on Cinder and don't ant any spoilers but I love your channel and am looking forward to watching your reviews when I have had a chance to finish Cress too!! xxx

[@rsmite7850]

I'm almost at the end of Cress and oh noooo you did not mention the spoilers so that was just the moment I lost it. I have a feeling that Winter is Levannas' daughter, so I'm kind of excited about this!!

[@jennachristy03]

same for me! I didn't like Scarlet that much but I stuck up to the series because I love Cinder.. THEN, CRESS. love it! can't wait to read Winter. haha!

[@ianmusicc]

When I'm about to go to sleep, but I wanna be before 100 views

[@jessethereader]

[@ianmusicc]

+jessethereader TYSM for replying...I feel so honored omg I'm stupid, but I love your videos and I hope someday I will have as many subs as you do

[@hannahjoy6809]

Such a coincidence that this comes up on my suggested, i finished Cress yesterday and am currently already 13 chapters into Winter. I cant get enough but also dont want it to end.

[@celes2534]

whaaaaat cinder was frikfffdking amazing and wolf and everyONE this book WAS AMAZING

[@CR-vb6eq]

I haven't read Cress but everyone really loves it so can't wait.

[@natamarun]

Yesterday I read Cinder and I am dying!! I really love it and I can't wait to read the other♥ have a nice day Jesse. *or night, whatever*

[@michelleyang4711]

I READ THIS ONE IN TWO DAYS. I LOVED IT!! Haven't gotten to Winter yet though Dx waiting for winter break to officially start for me so that I can just get sucked into the story..

[@ashleymontague81]

read Fairest before you finish Winter!!

[@emilykate0835]

why???

[@ashleymontague81]

+Emily Ostmeyer I feel like you'll understand the Luna queen better.

[@emilykate0835]

+ashleymontague81 but other than that is it mandatory??? I want to finish Winter before bookspolsion this Saturday... but I do want to read Fairest...

[@ashleymontague81]

+Emily Ostmeyer no its not mandatory you can read winter then fairest if you want. Fairest is just for queen levanna and why she started acting how she does. It's her back story. You get to know why she hates mirrors and all that other jazz.

[@emilykate0835]

Oh ok thanks so much I definitly want to read it... but Winter.... lol :D thanks again!

[@inej_aelin0906]

I am watching this in September of 2016 and am in a Bye-choo withdrawal. I am so use to hearing it at the end of every video.

[@CLAUSJUHH]

omg WINTER is the best

[@theeditor9398]

Omg, this is my fav book in this series too! im so glad someone agrees with me

[@Hellbutterfly08]

I just finished reading Cress and needed to watch this video. I agree with everything you said, thank God for that break between Scarlet and Wolf. It'll do them some good being separated. I need to buy Winter and I'll be complete.

[@breewalker1172]

i finished this... amazing... time to binge read winter these next 3-4 days XD

[@yessismiles]

ah! I though of luna as well for winter! especially because I listened to the audio book and the voice made her sound exactly like her!

[@kavyagera4299]

Winter is my favourite of the series

[@fireflies15]

OHMYGOD JESSE WOLF AND SCARLET!! PLEASE!! Theyre the best on my opinion T__T and I agree with you that cress is the best book in the series so far!

[@charliedoyle1456]

I absolutely love this series more then life itself, but I haven't read winter yet. 😦 At the moment, Cress is my favorite!

[@happyreadingwatching1597]

"Should we be trusting this fool."

[@jacobxrgaming6148]

Great video Jesse I love all your videos

[@jessethereader]

Thanks!

[@melreadscomics6774]

Okay but you're really gonna love Winter if you liked Cress. Easily the best book in the series :)

[@HarunKhan-et2js]

Bro I literally agreed with very thing you said. I HATE Woflet only because they are too lovey Dovey and they fell in love too fast. I love how Cress and Thorne have their own moments but they don't exactly get together. Like they kiss ya but their not like bro I love you like what Scarlet and Wolf did. I love how Thorne has those hidden feelings for her that you can see are real but he doesn't clarify them. Also he fell in love with her blind and that's adorable. There is that one scene in which Thorne is like Do you still love me but Cress doesn't answer and then Thorneis kind of sad so you can see that he loves her too. There my babies and I just love them. If anything happens to them I'll kill someone lol. I also love how Cresswell devolop sin Winter it's just great.

[@savvyheart3808]

Cress and Thorne 💘 WOLFLET 💜💙💚💛❤️💕💞💓💗💖💝

[@degan1123]

Omg that kisssssss thooo

[@wolfgirl657]

Just finished Cress! Cinder is still my favorite she's my QUEEN.

[@SMya-xk3jr]

Same! I just finished too. I'm so proud of all of them but Cinder and Cress are only 16 and they're KILLING IT!

[@wolfgirl657]

S. Mya TRUTH! I have winter know but I had sooo many books on my TBR pile for this month finally gonna get to it!

[@SMya-xk3jr]

@@wolfgirl657 I highly recommend Winter- very intense though and way longer than the others😅(I liked that about it). It gave me anxiety and adrenaline all the way through. It's a very good conclusion- Cinder is even MORE BADASS and the rest really shine in this one😊. I recommend "Something New, Something Old' from 'Stars Above' afterwards because its a really nice, mellow end.👌👌👌👌

[@makaylimercer5841]

I finished the book like three minutes ago

[@abigailsmith1997]

Thorne is probably one of my all time favorite characters from this series.

[@kattz9051]

I really hope you win the Book Nerd of the Year award from Epic Reads

[@lpschlobelle3467]

Top 4 favorite characters (people, not androids. Sorry Iko) Wolf is sensitive yet powerful. Thorne is hilarious. (“Thorne, we are not putting *rice* in my head.” “Just trying to be helpful”) Cinder is inspiring and intellegent. And CRESS. My babbbyy cinnamon roll i just love u soo much.

[@SimplyAllyTeas]

Cress was the strongest book of the series in my opinion, but Winter was my favorite of the four~!

[@livdanielle]

This was really fun because I am currently re-reading Cress before reading Winter. (:

[@heaveninhiding534]

Have not yet read Winter yet (starting tonight) but LEVANA IS MY QUEEN!!!!

[@zaritomaz975]

CRESSWELL IS BAAAAAEEEEEEEE CRESS IS JUST SO ADORABLE AND SHE COMES SO FAR WOLFLET IS AN AMAZING SHIP I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WERE SEPARATED I love Thorne's character development and how he slowly falls for Cress even tho he doesnt think he deserves her And the kaider reunion was soooo sweeet And I love the friend group and how they all have some relationship with each other marissa definitely made a hit with this im actually a cresswell stan but the first time i read tlc i didnt like them because i thought that thorne shouldnt have a relationship and cress was too infatuated with him but by the second time i looked closer and realized that they actually didnt have a superficial relationship, but one where they both have to look past the outside amd try to hide their feelings also we should give cinder credit i mean she ran around dealing with a broken Wolf cinnamon roll and a salty guard and an awkward hacker girl and a blind captain and an old man XD also i think marissa made her have bad ideas on purpose because it was supposed to give her more character depth. She isnt a perfect heroine who protects everyone, she isnt a miracle worker, amd marissa tries to emphasize friendship by showing that the rampion crew made a stronger impact whrn they worked together. I know that sounds likr something from a disney movie but still. This "imperfection" (aka her bad ideas) made her mkre relatable especially since shes 16. marissa did so well with winter! Her writings and characters have such an impact waiting for reaction. I thought winter was slightly insane too at the end of cress XD *me reacting to a random guy's book review on youtube*

[@pinky5088]

YAY CRESS!!!!!

[@jessethereader]

YAY

You're the first I've heard saying they didn't enjoy Scarlet and Wolf's relationship that much and I'm so happy... I thought I was the only one ;_;

I am so with you Cress is my favorite book. I even finished Winter which is terrific but Cress is my favorite. I couldn't really stand Scarlet she was really whiny I thought. I would be so happy if she gave Iko her own book. She was my favorite character. lol Great video, thanks for the review.

[@evisakkou8435]

In my greek copy of Cress and Winter, Jacin isnt pronounced the way everyone does and i am so frustrated, because now i have him in my mind as yakin....
