Winter
by Marissa Meyer
This series might be my new favorite set of fairytale retellings while simultaneously having one of the cringiest characters I've ever seen.
As the conclusion to the Lunar Chronicles series, Winter brings together all of the characters from the previous books for an epic finale that does not disappoint. Overall, I love the vibes of the series. From found family to action-packed rebellions and no shortage of sarcasm, the Lunar Chronicles has it all.
With all of the characters finally gathered together, it's finally time for rebellion. While I did find the pacing to be a little off in the middle, I really enjoyed this book and all the plots and subplots it had to offer. I liked how characters were mixed around, offering new dynamics (like Cress and Kai, Scarlet and Winter, etc). Also, the climax? It finally delivered everything I'd been begging for from the beginning of the series. All things considered, I think this might be my favorite in the series plot-wise.
I absolutely loved the found family dynamics between all of the characters, and I liked that Iko was included, too. Wolf and Scarlet are probably still my least favorite of the main couples; I just don't love their vibes, although I did appreciate the angst. Winter and Jacin were intriguing, but I had mixed feelings about Winter's hallucinations and Jacin's unwavering devotion to her. As far as couples go, Kai and Cinder were my favorites. I don't really have a reason, but I think they're the most developed, and I like how they trust each other almost unconditionally. I like Cress and Thorne a lot, too, and Thorne is my favorite on his own. If they were developed some more, they'd probably be my favorite. I also thought Levana finally proved herself to be a formidable villain in this one (she has mind control but never uses it on the heroes, and it drives me nuts).
The Lunar Chronicles series is a fast-paced space adventure based loosely on classic fairytales sure to be enjoyed by fans of found family, witty banter, and stories of rebellions.
4.5/5
