    About this ebook

    The first graphic novel from #1 New York Times and USA Today bestseller Marissa Meyer!

    In her first graphic novel, bestselling author Marissa Meyer extends the world of the Lunar Chronicles with a brand-new,action-packed story about Iko, the android with a heart of (mechanized) gold.

    When rogue packs of wolf-hybrid soldiers threaten the tenuous peace alliance between Earth and Luna, Iko takes it upon herself to hunt down the soldiers' leader. She is soon working with a handsome royal guard who forces her to question everything she knows about love, loyalty, and her own humanity. With appearances by Cinder, Cress, Scarlet, Winter, and the rest of the Rampion crew, this is a must-have for fans of the bestselling series.

      Wires and Nerve I read it in one sitting. My husband was surprised by this but I imagine that no bookish person would be. I already love the series and this is written in comic form so it's that much easier to do in just one sitting.
      I normally like to read ebooks but my husband has been listening to the series (as I had done) and just got Stars Above and so I asked his opinion on whether we should get the print hardcover or the ebook. His answer was that he can run over to Barnes and Noble and grab it during the rest of his errands for the day. When I finally got a chance to get my hands on it, I was surprised that it was a legit hardcover and looked like a book on the outside rather than a graphic novel would in the comics section. I've seen thick hardcovers there too, but they were always compilations of a huge set of comics that were a series put together or something. It was just a surprise.
      I was also surprised by the lack of color. The blue hues that were used were gorgeous and evident from the cover but I did think at least the oranges would be sprinkled in there. But no. Make no mistake, this did not detract from my overall enjoyment of the graphic novel, but just a heads up to future readers.
      While I'm sure that this graphic novel appeals to everyone who enjoyed the Lunar Chronicles and that it's audience was much bigger than YA alone, the art was everyone friendly. By that, I mean that it was drawn akin to an issue of Lumberjanes with everyone fully clothed and no body parts exaggerated or disproportionate to reality and no suggestive body language or poses.
      My favorite scene was in a store where they were attempting to get some replacement parts for Iko. When you read it, you'll know why.
      Now for the story! I am pleased to report that all your favorite people from the Lunar Chronicles will at least make a cameo though some have bigger roles than others here. This story is about Iko chasing down the wolves, and anyone reading is likely to have read the Lunar Chronicles, so you'd know that there has been some dispersal that is evident right at the beginning.
      Of the characters who have been central to the series, my favorite here is definitely Thorne, though Wolf has a few awesome lines himself that made my little feminist heart flutter. There were some new characters I'd never met, mostly the new antagonists. They were set up well and I'll be interested to see how everything pans out down the line.
      Reviews for the others are at the following links: Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, Winter, Fairest (read before Winter for best impact), and Stars Above. Now we wait together for the next one to come out, which is slated for next year according to Goodreads.
    • 3/5
      Graphic novel based after the final novel of the Lunar Chronicles. Decent read and it's nice to continue with the series.
    • 5/5
      Epic!!I love The Lunar Chronicles, and this graphic novel is a perfect addition to an already fantastic series! I can't wait to read the second one when it comes out next year. All of our favorite characters are back, and they are brought to life with the illustrations. Those illustrations are awesome, and being a fan of the series, it is nice to see what exactly Marissa Meyer had in mind when she created the characters. It's quite close to what I dreamed up in my mind when reading the novels.I love this book and all the rest in the series, so I can't recommend them enough, but I still will till the end of time!
    • 4/5
      The illustrations were...eh. Thorne DEFINITELY did not fit any of his descriptions from the novels or even Meyer's website. Iko's personality seemed way too inauthentic for her and CALLED IT! They paired the spare (look it up, it's an obnoxious trope that's overwhelming common in YA books). The story was interesting though.
    • 4/5
      Thrilling! It's so cool to have the gaps between Winter and Stars Above filled, and with a new format to boot. Marissa Meyer's clever foreshadowing in Winter allows the reader that "I knew it!" sense of discovery when the Lunar Chronicles mythos progresses. I especially like all the new characters in Wires--their interactions with and opinions of our heroes play out in a very obviously media-influenced way that's just stellar. Additionally, I really liked getting to see what our heroes and the wolf soldiers might actually look like. In terms of theme, add to all that an unmistakable Dickensian commentary on the state of democracy in the world today. In both action and heart, Wires and Nerve delivers.
    • 5/5
      Oh man...I cried actual tears when Iko gave Peony her ribbon back. If anyone needs to test whether or not I'm a cyborg just show me that page again.
    • 5/5
      Loved seeing what happened to the cast of characters after the Lunar Chronicles series ended. Volume 2 (and Volume 1 also) of Wires and Nerve, in graphic novel format, was perfect for keeping the story going and helping to have favorites materialize and come to life.
    • 3/5
      teen sci-fi/fantasy romance/adventure in graphic format; companion story to the Lunar Chronicles.
      You don't have to be super familiar with the Lunar series, but it helps. I don't know if the graphic is compelling enough to spark interest in the Lunar books on its own, but it had great illustrations and a layered plot.
    • 4/5
      This Wires and Nerve sequel is just as much fun as the first. All the beloved Lunar Chronicles characters make appearances, and Iko, of course, continues to be a true delight.
    • 3/5
      Very cute, but only a part 1...
    • 5/5
      Wow, this was fun! I had put off reading it because I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy Marissa Meyer as a graphic novel, but I enjoyed it very much. Also, Iko is the main character/narrator. Her voice is as entertaining as ever.Iko, self-described "passionate being who had once been trapped in the body of a lowly servant-droid, but had since discarded that humble form, like a butterfly emerging from her cocoon...newly outfitted with a flawless escort-droid body, one that complimented her wit, charisma, and excellent taste in fashion," was on a quest to capture the rogue lunar wolf soldiers that still hunted on earth and return them to Luna for trial and rehabilitation. When one escapes capture, she learns of an even bigger threat to Cinder and all of their friends. Can she save them all?I read this in an afternoon. Now I just need to find book two.
    • 3/5
      Nice second installment, nice to to revisit these characters. I could wish that they did not all have to be so darn willowy, but it is an idealistic medium, and so we get what we get. I do appreciate that an android character has strengths and challenges that humans do not, and Meyer does a fantastic job exploring those.
    • 4/5
      Do you need more Lunars? Did you love Iko and want more of her story? If that is the case--this graphic novel is for you. Iko is on Earth hunting down rogue mutant soldiers, finding out no one thinks of her as a hero, and getting frustrated at being treated like a robot. The format is fun and blue, with red accents.
    • 3/5
      I enjoyed this graphic continuation of The Lunar Chronicles focusing on Iko the droid. She has an almost human personality chip (which many people see as a malfunction) and a new escort model robot body. We see her not only fighting the Wolf soldiers, but exploring droid rights (why isn't she known as a hero of the recent wars?) and her human emotions (Lasting friendships! Blushing! Falling in love?)I'm happy to go on with this series – for me Marissa Meyer is the perfect light n fun relief when I need a mental break. However – I was a bit disappointed in the depictions of many of the characters. I had envisioned them more glamorous – more Disney-esque; more like the original characters from the original tales that they mirror. The drawings were more down to earth versions of them – dontcha hate it when reality (?) gets in the way.Volume 2 promptly requested from library.

      This was a well done wrap-up to the Wires and Nerve series. It was fun to see all my favorite characters again. The story was a bit slow but decent. This wraps up the storyline started in the first volume about the Rogue werewolves.The illustration style isn't my favorite; it's all in blue tones and is pretty simple. It is easy to follow though, and adds a lot to the story.Overall this was a fun read that I enjoyed. It wraps up the story nicely and was good great addition to the overall Lunar Chronicles world. Fans of the Lunar Chronicles should definitely check our Nerves and Wires. I am still not a huge fan of the illustration style but it was easy to follow.

      It is with a heavy heart that we come to the conclusion of the Lunar Chronicles series. The big bad evil Queen has been defeated and Linh Cinder has taken up the throne that is rightfully hers. The biggest obstacle in her current reign is the rogue wolf-hybrid operatives still lurking around Earth refusing to go back to Luna.Iko has been chasing down the main alpha who has gathered an army of these hybrids but he keeps escaping her grasp every time. Cinder has sent her main guard Kinney to help her best friend but even as a team they haven't had much luck. Then things get worse when it seems that one of their own has joined the rogue lunar operatives. I can't say I enjoyed this conclusion very much. It was a very cutesy story and not many twists were involved. I think Wires and Nerves #1 was a lot more adventurous and full of action but this one felt like it was a romance with little side action.
    • 3/5
      This could have been shorter. As it was, some parts were tedious. Did we need so many fruitless encounters with Lysander? How many times did we need to hear him insist that there was a cure for the mutations and someone else respond that he was wrong?I did enjoy getting some backstory for Iko, though. Also, I was happy to see a bit more about developments on Luna.
