Meyer, Marissa. Wires and Nerves, Volume 2: Gone Rogue. Part of the Lunar Chronicles series. 2018. 324p. ISBN 978-1-250-07828-5. Available in the graphic novels section of the library.
At the end of Wires and Nerve, Volume 1, Alpha Lysander Steele and his rogue army of bioengineered Lunars managed to evade Iko’s skillful chase. They remain on the loose on Earth, nursing hopes of vengeance against the Lunars who transformed them and the humans who are now helping the Lunars. Steele has devised a plan to bring Cinder to him so he can rip her heart out and avenge himself. He will capture Princess Winter, the Lunar ambassador to Earth, and use her to bring Cinder into a trap.
Cinder publicly announces her desire to renounce the Lunar crown, and focuses on cementing the peace with the countries of Earth. With Iko still on Steele’s heels, she has a plan of her own to finally defeat what remains of Queen Levana’s mutant army. Iko, meanwhile, continues to struggle with her quest for humanity, but finds it hard to deal with Sir Liam Kinney, who never fails to remind her she’s but an android. When she comes across information about her creation and programming, she discovers that, like humans, it’s what you do that makes you unique, now what you are.
Fans of the Lunar Chronicles will enjoy this latest installment. All of the main characters of the Lunar Chronicles appear in this book and the overarching plot is moved forward, but the story remain focused on Iko and her growing relationship with Liam.
