I’m not happy to describe it that way, but that’s genuinely how I felt by the end. It’s so extremely redundant that it becomes a chore to read the dialogue. Everything is explained and then explained again by a different character almost as if the writer is trying to make sure that everyone understands what’s happening. The writing not only reminds you of the story that happened before, but it reminds you of how much better that story was. Harry Potter is a great example of writing to your audience because by doing so it opened itself up to a wider audience. In my opinion, the two most common approaches to young adult fiction are writing to your audience or writing down to your audience. That’s, unfortunately, all of my summary of the story. There are some politics, some romance, and a lot of talking about the past. There’s a new Queen and her best friend, an Android, is on a missing to capture or kill all of the… okay, they have a name for them, but they’re werewolves. The gist is that a big war has concluded.
Sure, you can read Wires and Nerve and get a general idea of the world, but this story is heavy-handed on the references of what came before it. If you’re going to read Wires and Nerve, know that it’s a follow-up to The Lunar Chronicles and doesn’t stand on its own at all.
