O.M.G!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This book took me FOREVER to read but I don't care because it was totally amazing. I felt like some chapters weren't really needed but I liked the book. SPOILER ALERT (everybody gets a happy ending, which I'm very happy about). I hope Marissa Meyer comes up with a spin off series that connects with this story because the characters are amazing and the dialogue is off the wall awesome!!!!!!!!! I definetly recommend this book and the series to EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
PERFECT ENDING IS PERFECT. *Withdrawal intensifies*
Ok so now that my blood pressure is back to normal I can actually be coherent about this book.
At first, the 800 pages scared me because I had struggled to get through CRESS but stars! How wrong I was! I honestly didn't think I could love this book even more than I had loved SCARLET but I did.
Everything I ever wanted in an ending was there.
The pace.
So much is happening in this book. So. Much. Planning this revolution blew my mind and I couldn't put this book down.
The relationships.
Kai and Cinder. Ultimate Power Couple Perfection. Like they don't even need to talk to communicate... They're that couple.
Scarlet and Ze'ev. Honestly they're my favorite. The Alpha couple. He's so broken my God. I wanted to wrap him in a blanket and keep this precious baby safe. And she's sassy (and my best friend in my head at this point) and fearless and I don't think you'll need more proof of her amazingness.
Cress and Thorn. Hmm. Ok I was not crazy about them in this one. Or not really crazy about Thorn if I'm being honest. He was just plain rude. Not sassy. Just rude and mean at times. BUT thankfully he got his shit together towards the end, and Cress being a precious tech genius "saved" him for me.
Winter and Jacin. MY BABIES. A rollercoaster of feels, angst and separation. Winter is human being goals. An actual Disney Princess too kind for this world. And if Scarlet is the Queen of Sass, Jacin's definitely King. And he was so devoted to Winter ugh MY EMOTIONS.
The villains.
OHMYGOD. We all knew Levana was evil (or more like broken but I have a soft spot for her) but can we talk about Aimery... That guy wins it all. Master of creepiness and torture. I actually got chills at times because of him. Well done, Marissa Meyer, well done.
The author made fall in love with all these amazing characters and I'm so grateful. I really didn't want it to end but when it did it was perfect.

Great ending to this series...wasn't so wowed overall by the writing style - it seemed a bit simple at times - but the overall story was really good.
4.5 stars
The end was a bit dragging. It could have been shorter all wrapped up in a short epilogue or something like that. Also the book was a bit repetitive (I don't know how to say it better without spoiling the book, hmmm)
But at this point I was so invested and in love with the characters not that I couldn't possibly give it less than 4.5 stars.

it takes me years to write reviews these days, or sometimes I finish a book and write one straight after. But then sometimes I forget to write a review in general.
But this was such a good finale. It was thick book and I found myself thinking how the frick are any of them gonna get out of certain situations that happens in like the middle of the book, but I guess I never saw any of those different ways how the characters ended up saving themselves. It was so damn great book, its ridiculous. It took me so many years to actually pick the books up . . . like it always is with me and books that are considered pretty much "classic" YA at this point.
I loved every single character - Cinder, Iko, Kai (even though he was so clueless for the first 3 books), Thorne (MY PRECIOUS BABY), Scarlet, Wolf, Cress, Winter and Jacin. The whole gang was so precious and saw each other as a family. What really irritated me a bit was how they kept spending the whole book or ever since book 3 separated every once in a while. Then got back together and then got separated yet again, maybe this time different people got somewhere else. And Wolf being turned/modified into a bigger monster was so sad because his character in general is a pretty sad wolf man.
IKO. That's it. I would die for her. I kinda knew that she was gonna be an important character ever since before I started reading the book because of this one very amazing cosplayed, whose friend was cosplaying Iko as a human after her personality chip was put into an escort-droid body. And I knew she was gonna be there but damn, I loved Iko ever since Cinder.
THORNE AND CRESS. "JUST KISSING MY GIRL" IS WHAT PRETTY MUCH DESERVES 2 STARS FOR JUST EXISTING IN THE BOOK OR WHEN HE SAID HE IS TERRIFIED OF CRESS AND JUST THEIR WHOLE SCENES. Him stabbing my girl Cress and her shooting his fingers off. SUCH AN OTP AT ITS FINEST.
Winter was such a brilliant character addition and I really really love her and her insanity and just how strong she truly is. And her scenes with Jacin were so cute because she is so cute when she tried to be flirty and Jacin was trying to keep his chill all the time.
There were so many good scenes and everything else. I love these series so much. I probably won't go too much into more of the review because my mind is a mess and well, I don't think I will be able to say anything good about it anyway besides how much I loved it and how much I missed the characters the moment I finished the book.
Also, the last scene between Cinder and Kai was so wholesome and a good way to end the story. So beautiful.

I loved it and I hated it. The book started out slow like most of the books in this series did but then it turned into a page turner. Why did everyone on the Rampion have to end up as romantic partners? The only ones I really cared about were Thorne and Cress. I love Throne; definitely my favorite.
I realized about half way through the book-why is this book called Winter? I wouldn't even call her the main character in the book; that's Cinder. I do like Winter a lot though, Winter the character.
I kept thinking about The Hunger Games series too as this last book reminded me of last battle with Panem, the priviledged citizens there, underpriviledged districts-same as Luna.
I was also sure one of the main characters was going to die (please not Thorne I thought the whole book) because one usually does but they were all saved in the end.

There are no words to describe this level of perfection
