Meyer’s novels are plot-driven, meaning that while we get a good sense of the characters - whose developments are not sacrificed at the expense of story - they’re fast-paced.Meyer’s novels, though, fall more on the science fiction side of fairy tale retellings. The bulk of fairy tale retellings tend to fall on the fantasy side of the science fiction/fantasy divide.
Fairy tale retellings can be rendered in many different ways and because of that, no matter how familiar you may be with the story from which the book is inspired, the author’s take on that world can still feel fresh. If you’re a fan of genre fiction, chances are that you’ve read many a fairy tale retelling.

Here’s a look at why you like this series and what to read if you’re a fan (and eagerly anticipating the conclusion of the story). The fourth and final book in the series, Winter, isn’t out until next February, but fortunately, there are many options for what to read in the meantime. But I think School Library Journal did a great job of talking about next reads for that series, so instead, I thought I’d talk about what you should read after you’ve read the “Lunar Chronicles” series by Marissa Meyer, the third book of which, Cress, published earlier this month. I’d intended to talk this month about what to read after you’ve read Richelle Mead’s Vampire Academy, especially in light of the movie’s release. I also hit next picks for fans of Ransom Riggs’s genre-bending Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. I also dipped into dystopia with next reads for fans of the “Divergent” series. Over the last few months, I’ve talked about a lot of contemporary/realistic YA fiction on Beyond the Bestsellers, including next reads for fans of Sarah Dessen and Ellen Hopkins.
