Week 23 Review: Wires and Nerve, Volume 2: Gone Rogue

From Goodreads:

The second graphic novel, and sequel to Wires and Nerve, Volume 1, from #1 New York Times and USA Today Bestseller Marissa Meyer!

The world of the Lunar Chronicles comes alive in this thrilling continuation of Wires and Nerve. 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. Questions of love, friendship, and mortality take Iko on an emotional journey that will satisfy and delight fans of this bestselling series.

My Review:
This was such an amazing read! I loved being in this world again, and this bad guy was just so freaking interesting, and I wanted to know how the gang would deal with him-because honestly, he is right-but how he's gone about things has been wrong.

A big question in this series is what makes us human. The lunar soldiers are wolf hybrids now. And Iko is an android, but she has feelings. The conclusion is that humanity means more then the basic biological meaning, though that's going to be hard for some people to accept. 

Loved the interactions between Iko and Kinney again, their snipping and infuriating back and forth's were so much fun to read. While the romance between them isn't as big as the romances in the prose books, there's less space in a graphic novel, so that's understandable. 

I really enjoyed how things wrapped up. It was a difficult situation, and there were no easy answers. If we got another installment in this series, I would love to follow along, but things wrapped up pretty nicely, and we were left in a place where the path forward was clear, so having more is just me being greedy!  

This was such a great read, and I can't wait to read more by Marissa Meyer!
