The Lunar Chronicles is one of my favorite series. I read them several years back and just learned about this little spin-off mini-series. I was so excited to dive in. The main series are regular novels, while Wires and Nerve are graphic novels. This is only my second graphic novel ever (the first was Watchmen), and I've decided that I really need to give this genre a better shot. I so enjoyed revisiting all of these characters, and the added bonus of seeing them drawn in action made it even more fun! The main character in these books is the sidekick in the original series, and I really loved how Marissa Meyer developed her in order for her to be able to carry the majority of the weight of the storyline. It was so well done! Five stars. Now I'm going to go dive into the second one!
