Winter
by Marissa Meyer
"Winter" is the last installment in the Lunar Chronicles series and it felt quite bittersweet for me. On one hand I really wanted to finish the book and on the other hand, I wanted it to last forever, so that I would never part from the characters and the story!
The book had everything I had hoped for, even though there were some points that didn't satisfy me with how they turned out. Regarding Levana and Cinder's revolution, I felt completely enthralled with the story, i wanted to know everythinga t once and that's why I devoured the book! Also, I liked that we caught a glimpse on Levana's backstory and that her scars were revealed to us. Because I know there is a seperate novel about her, I thought that she wouldn't reveal any details, but thankfully she did! What more, Kai and Cinder's relationship is so cute, I can't! Of course, we cannot forget Wolf and Scarlet, my truest OTP in this series!
Regarding things I had issues with, first up is Princess Winter. She did not really made an impression on me as a character and I thought it was pretty stupid that she et herself go crazy, because she wasn't using her Lunar gift. I do admire her good intentions, she obviously didn't want to become manipulative and evil like Levana, but succumbing to lunacy isn't exactly the smartest decision in the world. Jacin, for example, I'm sure would be glad to help, she could have him pacing in the room, or touching his nose or doing something equally harmless, in order to not lose her mind!
Another thing I want to comment on, is the fact that unfortunatelly Wolf underwent sltering surgeries that cannot be fixed back to how he was. It seems to me that he was the only one that had such a fate, everyone else was pretty much unscathed. It felt forced, like it happened so that the whole "concequences of a revolution" concept would seem more realistic.
All in all, "Winter" was a very nice conclusion to the series. The revolution happened organically and not way too easy, so that it felt quite real. I liked the way Snow White's tale was incorporated in the story and I can say that I am generally very pleased with this book.
