Winter by Marissa Meyer
3.0
This was probably the book I struggled through the most, for two main reasons :
- It is a HUUUGE book ! My edition has 985 pages and it just felt unnecessarily long, some bits could easily have been skipped to make it less messy and to get to the point a little quicker.
- The two new-ish characters, I didn't actually like that much. And we see A LOT of Winter and Jacin in this book !
~ Also, so many comments about physical beauty that were meant to be inspiring, but I just found exasperating.
~ I must say, Scarlet (and Wolf) just seem to have been put aside once the second book was done, they could almost have been left out completely it would not have changed much, which is a shame as I liked Scarlet ... It just seemed like the author didn't know what to do with them after their main story in book 2.
+ Talking about liking characters, Kai is great ! LOVE him. I also think Cinder, Iko, Cress and Thorne are really good. Thumbs up for them.
However I still believe the Lunar Chronicles are fun books that I'm happy to have read. I love the idea of these books, I'm a sucker for loads of fairytales colliding into one world.
