~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.

Wires and Nerve is Marissa Meyer's first foray into the world of graphic novels. It is a story that centers around Iko, the sassy and lovable android, and best friend to Cinder.

I am not a big reader of graphic novels, so it's a little different to be reviewing one, but here we go:

Things I loved:

* Iko, of course.  She is the star of the book, and she brings all her trademark sass to the story. 
* The characters are as them in this book as they are in all the others.  It's interesting to see them grow even more in this new story.
* I love that Cinder is still just who she always was even though she is now in her rightful spot as the Lunar queen.  She is amazing.
* I think the story moves well, and the art is amazing. 
* Even though Liam Kinney is a TOTAL jerk to Iko, I love watching the dynamic between the two of them.  I think there's something that's going to happen there. 

There wasn't anything I didn't like about this book.  The whole thing was well written, well drawn, and the characters were awesome.  The drama was just enough to keep the story moving, and I really didn't want the story to end. 

Basically, the whole book made me like:

And I can't wait for the next one!
