This series has me crying, giggling, and kicking my feet. I love this series so much.

This was the 4th and final book in a series that got even better as it went along. It was a fast paced, fun read. I loved the characters and was eager to get back to them whenever I set the book down. Snow White was my favorite princess of the group by far, though the integration of Rapunzel into this world (last book) was fantastically done. I could listen to Winter ramble for a long while.
I listened to the audio book and the narrator did an excellent job. There was a fun bonus interview with the author at the end.

It is 3am and I am currently sobbing from this book - I have no idea what to do now... I think I'm just going to sit here and stare into the abyss.

Now this was a turbulent read: two months and four days to read, mostly because I didn't have the book in my possession for a whole month (thanks to its popularity and me being unable to find it in bookstores/me being too lazy to buy it online).
However, all is right with the world and I have finally bought my own copy and finished this explosive conclusion to the Lunar Chronicles.
This instalment is well worth it's 5 star rating. I lived for and loved every word that adorned every page. Every character. Every plot. Every twist and turn. Every shock. Every emotion. Everything about "Winter" completed gives credit to Meyer about her gift as an author: she is simply remarkable.
The thing I loved the best about this series, is that it artfully, tastefully and imaginatively retold the classic fairy tales that every single person on planet earth (and hey, maybe even the moon one day) has grown up on and fallen in love with, time and time again. Normally I'm hesitant about reimagined fairy tale novels, as they are often too carbon copies from the original (thus rendering them unoriginal in their own right). In my past experience of reading, only two other authors (Meyer excluded) have managed to capture the re-telling of classic fairy tales in an original concept: Rosamund Hodge for "Cruel Beauty", and Sarah J Maas for "A Court of Thorns and Roses", both are books I would consider my favourites. Now, Meyer can join the ranks of these two incredible authors as a gifted story teller.
I am so proud with how she has concluded this series. So unbelievably proud. I am content to say that my reading experience of the Lunar Chronicles will "live happily ever after".
If I could give this book more than 5 stars, I wouldn't hesitate.

This book was absolutely amazing!! There was never a dull moment, and though I usually don't like a whole lot of romance, I thought that was part of the reason I loved it so much. Meyer really has a way with words, and I hope to read many of the books she comes out with in the future. When I first started this series, I thought I was going to hate it, but Ms. Meyer's way with words convinced me otherwise and it is now my favorite book series. This book was intense from the first chapter, and I'm very sad it's over. again, this book was absolutely fabulous in every way, and I will definitely be reading it again soon.
