Book Review – Wires and Nerve, Volume 2: Gone Rogue by Marissa Meyer
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.

5/5 Stars
Lovely conclusion to the story, and with still stunning art. The story was perhaps a tiny bit predictable at the end, but I still loved getting to go back to this world and seeing the characters brought to life once more.
It’s definitely making me want to re-read the series as well, as I have forgotten a few little details. Not to mention it’s one of my favourites 😉
I also reviewed the first installment to this graphic novel last year.

Considering the popularity of the Lunar Chronicles in the book community I find it weird that I’ve not really seen the hype surrounding the release of Gone Rogue.

I’ve seen a little around both graphic novels but not lots. That said they’re not easily available either, or at least not in the UK.

No, you’re right. I had to order my copy of this online because I couldn’t see it in Waterstones or any other UK bookstore. I don’t understand it though because the original series is still available and I know I’ve seen it in my local Waterstones.

Me too! I checked comic book stores too. I’m not sure it has a uk publisher though

I suppose that would explain it. It’s a shame though that that’s the case.

YES! These graphic novels are the perfect things to carry on the Lunartic feels. I just finished rereading Winter for the 2nd time, and duuude all the affection that I have for these characters are just so bloody fresh right now. I can’t wait for movies to be made, they’re gonna be so dope :))
